A Christmas Gift Guide for Pre-Teen Girls

I do not like choosing gifts for people. In fact, it's a huge source of stress for me. Will they like it? Do they already have it? What if they pretend to like it? What if they're disappointed?

Readwise: A Really Nifty Tool For Your Kindle Highlights

As I read books on my Kindle, I tend to highlight the bits that resonate with me or the bits in non-fiction books which I'd like to action. All of these highlights are accessible on Amazon but I'm never sure what to do with them there. In the past, I've printed some and filed them but I prefer a paper-free digital office space. It felt as though I was highlighting and that those highlights would then just lurk around somewhere in the background, never to be acknowledged by me again.
