What books do you want to read?

Usually I don’t want to read, I do read.

But right now I am waiting on some books.

I’ve been curious about this book “Thy Kingdom Come” by Ariana Tosado. I haven’t read any of her stuff, but it sounds interesting.

I’ve also considered reading “Tears of the Wolfe” by Elizabeth Wheatley once it comes out.

I hesitate to read new books if I don’t know the author, often because I’m picky about quality.

I also am a lot busier than I used to be. Whenever I have more free time, I tend to start a new book if I can. Or I’ll read on my work breaks. I have several since I work at a school and there’s time between periods.

I also recently bit the bullet and downloaded Kindle and started reading on that. I prefer a physical book, hands down, but it’s hard to carry them everywhere, and they’re pricey, and Kindle is cheap,so if I’m not very liquid, buying it on Kindle works better for me.

And I listen to audiobooks on my long commute. I don’t think it’s the same as reading (and I read faster than they do anyway) but, it gets a little more books into my busy schedule.

I guess next to Christianity, reading is the closest to a second religion I have… in that I support it, preach it as a necessity, and find a way to work it into my schedule somehow no matter what I’m currently busy with.

Of course I read my Bible daily too, not usually for very long, but it’s something.

My family traditions

Daily writing prompt
Write about a few of your favorite family traditions.

We don’t have a lot, just never seemed like a big deal to us.

But around Christmas, we always do the Advent thing Catholics and Lutherans do, though we aren’t Lutheran. We also make cookies. Usually fudge too.

My mom always makes our birthday cakes. Usually chocolate.

I do think traditions are important. It’s one way to know this is your family, and this is what you do.

This is a fun one

Daily writing prompt
If you could un-invent something, what would it be?

It’d be hard to pick just one thing.

I have noise sensitivity. (Actually high sensitivity in general.)

I would like to uninvnet air horns. I think they’re more annoying than useful.

And panty hose. Leggings and socks and stockings work better for the same function, and don’t leave markrs from squeezing your insides.

Also, on a more serious note. GMO food. I think it’s a disaster we’re bringing upon ourselves.

Anything messing with DNA, really. It’s too Frankenstein for me.

Also, could we un-invent elevator music? Who actually enjoys it? Micky Mouse?

What’s everyone else’s annoying product of choice?
