The best use for four-letter words

The illustrious Nick here at BookSwim has released the current bane of my existence. It’s a spelling game called Well Versed– and just as when I play Scrabble, I keep resorting to endless series of four-letter words. Can’t help it– ‘help’, ’soon’ and ‘hear’ are just so easy to identify in the scrambled word pool and give a pleasant little bump in my self-esteem every time.

Play Well Versed

Also, I have to ask: who is the illustrious RobinSki, our current all-time winner?

Try the game out and see how you fare! Hopefully, you’ll wrack up more 5+-letter words than I have.

I found this site that allows you to reserve books, have them sent to your home, read them at your leisure (no late fees) and return them when you are done, similar to Netflix but for books. Here’s the site.

Would you do this? I’m thinking that I would rather use the library, but then again, DH drives past it on his way to and from work, so it’s no big deal to reserve something and then have him pick it up. If I had to make a special trip to get stuff? Not sure.

So this website sounds interesting. Would you use something like this? Or give a subscription as a gift? Let us know your thoughts.
