Books and Erasers of Magic

Books. Books. Books. Books! BOOOOOOOKS.

The explanation for that involves two awesome books: Dragon Spear and Rooftoppers. I haven't finished the latter of those, but it's awesome so far. The former is what I just finished today. It's really good. The only problem with it is that it's the last of the series. D:

No spoilers, though, so I have to talk about other stuff. So...other stuff! Okay. Um...magic erasers. Yes. How do you make a magic eraser? It's very simple.

1) You get an eraser. Pink, hopefully with nothing printed on it. Make sure it's the normal kind of eraser and not some tiny flower or a part of some pack that, put with all the other tiny pieces, turns into a giant, erasing...book. Or anything else, really. That probably doesn't make any sense, but basically, you need a boring pink eraser probably in the shape of a parallelogram.

2) You get a pen. Or a relatively thin marker. Or something like that. Yes.

3) You draw a face on one of the wide sides of the eraser. But not just any face! It's a happy face with a tongue sticking out. :P Like that!

3) You—oh wait, this isn't the third.

4) You flip the eraser over to the other wide, flat side. Then you draw the same face, except frowning with the tongue sticking out and with x's for eyes. So it isn't really the same face.

5) You ask your eraser a yes-or-no question and throw it. The dead face means no and the happy face means yes. It may not be an alethiometer, but it's as close as we'll get in this universe! Maybe! It may lie sometimes, though. *nods wisely*

6) You notice that each of these instructions  begins with "you." This somehow ends up with you thinking about secret codes that may or may not be present in this post (hint: books).

I probably have to tie in books with magic erasers now. Okay, here's a suggestion: Don't use erasers on good books. *nods wisely again* Books.

    I will have to do this with an eraser. Hehe, if I can find any pink ones that don't have text on them…
