The secret is the ingenious Invisible Floating Bookshelf, which does its job in the most minimal sense possible. The 5.25" x 6.6" x 7" powder-coated steel unit invisibly grips the cover of a single book (maximum book depth is 10"), which in turn can serve as the base for stacking up to 20 pounds of reading material.

And so, too, argues Judy Reeves, should writers practice. Her Writer's Book of Days provides a "writing prompt" for each day of the year, and then some: "Write about a time someone said yes"; "Write about leaving"; "Something seemed different." The more you practice, says Reeves, the more you write. And writing from a prompt, she adds, is like having "someone provid[e] the music when you want to dance."
