Ever have one of those days where you just felt invisible? Well, Charlotte Usher of Tonya Hurley's ghostgirl books is having one of those days... or rather, lifetimes.

I have decided that reading is a sport for any weather. This week the temperatures in New York spiked somewhere around 103, and thus turning pages indoors won out over a lot of outdoor activities, though floating in an oversized tube in the pool was pretty nice, too. I still want someone to calculate how many pages one needs to turn to shed one pound --- and how fast one needs to turn them. I do think reading is my favorite sport --- think of the exercise that my mind gets from it!
