The before and after of my bookshelf. I don’t really want to say after though because I haven’t filled it with books I read yet, so the before and in progress.

I love reading books.

I have done it since I was very small. I really wish I still had all my Beverly Cleary books. I was a huge fan of Ramona Quimby. The only bummer for me was that I could only get one book at a time when I was a kid and I would finish that one book in one day.

I guess that’s why my dad took me to the library so much though, then I could check out more books.

Now that I am older I don’t put a limit on myself with the amount I buy. Also I read very quickly so I finish a book faster than most people.

Yesterday I finished Ghost Camera by Darcy Coates and I started My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones.

After that I am going to read Slaughter House Five by Kurt Vonnegut.

When I get down to one book, so like next week, I’m going to get more, or I’m going to finish the ones on my Kindle.

I like my Kindle but I feel almost like it’s a back up, I like holding a book in my hands sometimes and sometimes I don’t. It’s a weird paradox.

I’ve also been cutting down on caffeine.

I bought an electric tea kettle and some loose leaf tea samples. The teas have a description on the side with the things they help you with like immunity, relax etc. etc.

There was one that was this almond cream flavor, it was so good.

Last night I made a blueberry tea the description said it was for eternity. I told my middle son I didn’t know what that meant, he said, “It makes you immortal?”

So now I live FOREVER!

It made me very sleepy so I don’t know if it makes you live forever or sleep forever all I know is I slept very well last night.

That could be because I’m limiting caffeine though, especially at night.

Ok well that is enough from me. Enjoy your Thursday.
