  1. Thank you for the list. I ordered the Fintie Vintage Book Cover for my Paperwrite and love it. The one I had on the Kindle was falling apart. Like it so much purchased one for my new Fire HD 10, waiting for it to arrive. Love your books that I have read so far and looking forward to reading the rest. Keep up the good work.

  2. I like number 17 best. I can appreciate that one. I once started reading a new book on the commuter train home. I should have got off the train at the last stop. I was so involved in the story I ended up back downtown at Union Station Longest train ride home ever

  3. 5, 15, 17, & 19, are the ones I like the most, especially the bookend. Thanks for sharing these.

  4. I particularly love 1 ( my Kindle is about 6 years old and has recently started changing pages on its own accord and showing only half a screen, 2, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 & 15.

    Lovely ideas.

    I haven’t said so before, but I absolutely adore your books.
    Thank you ever so much for taking the time to put pen to paper.

    Thank you, thank you and thank you.

    Best wishes

  5. Thanks for all these great ideas. I can see my grand daughters getting some really good Christmas gifts from the list.

  6. The main illustrations you have made, the straightforward site navigation, the relationships you will assist to create – it is many fantastic, and it’s helping our son in addition to us recognize that the situation is awesome, and that is especially mandatory.

  7. Number 20 my favourite, I always drink loose leaf tea I love it 🥰 but I’m from Liverpool, England so it would probably cost a fortune to ship to over here 😢 but I enjoyed looking at all the ideas and I really enjoy reading your books Bridget xx

  8. Thanks for all the splendid suggestions for avid readers like myself. I just recently read your three-volume collection of regency romance, and I fell in love right along with the main characters.

  9. Thank you for these new ideas. I know my friend the librarian is going to love her gift. (Can’t say which one, she reads your books now, after introducing her). However; I wish to let you know how much I look forward to each and every book you write. I’m 76, work full time, and I prefer books that captivate me, and are easy to read. Yours fit the bill. Now I just need a zippered bag when I travel, that has a saying about books. 🙂

  10. What you said was very reasonable. But, consider this, suppose you were to create a awesome
    title? I ain’t suggesting your information is not solid, however what if you added something
    that grabbed a person’s attention? I mean 20 Must-Have Items For Book Lovers – Bridget Barton is
    kinda plain. You should look at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create news titles to grab viewers to open the links.

    to get readers excited about everything’ve got to say. In my opinion, it
    could make your blog a little bit more interesting.

  13. Bridget, I only recently discovered your books. Have enjoyed my first two. Thanks for the list. Love it.

  14. I think that what you published was actually very logical.
    However, consider this, suppose you were to write a killer headline?

    I ain’t saying your information is not good, however suppose you
    added something that grabbed people’s attention? I mean 20 Must-Have
    Items For Book Lovers – Bridget Barton is a little vanilla.
    You should look at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create article headlines to grab people to click.
    You might add a video or a picture or two to grab readers interested
    about everything’ve got to say. In my opinion, it would bring your posts a
