New Friends, Old Friends

Bloganuary writing prompt
What books do you want to read?

Books have been my friends since I was very young. I enjoy reading, only I do not have much time to read. There are some old friends I would like to visit with again, such as Black Beauty and Man O’ War. There are some new ones I would like to read as well.

Books are wonderful for taking me to faraway places, places that do not have my current day’s stress or problems. I can sit, read and drift to the land of the author, living through another’s words and imagination. Or perhaps I am interested in the history of an area, such as New Zealand, and the author shares the past with the present of the women and men as they settled a new land, such as the Fire Blossom series.

Currently, I would like to read the two books I have on meat cutting. Unfortunately I am tired after work to study and retain any knowledge. The days I am not working are busy with farm work and household duties.

Hopefully, when I get fully adjusted to the new routine of working forty hours a week, I will once again have time to visit with old friends and new friends, with a cozy blanket and cup of tea.
