Daily Prompt: Always a book, never not a book

What is the greatest gift someone could give you?

It’s a new Year, dearies! 🐲

I saw this prompt and immediately thought of books, but to make more into the ‘greatest’ gift, I’d say a first edition of a classic like Pride and Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, or Frankenstein.

But I would take any book to be honest.

A Box Set with a saga or a trunk full of books. I’m not picky, yet, for some reason, I don’t get that many books as gifts. My fellow readers have gifted me gift cards from bookstores and I have done the same, but my family gifts me anything but… perhaps one time or twice.

So, the greatest gift someone could give me, would be a book. Paperback or Hardback, I’d take it. 😎📚

Daily Prompt: I was looking for: what in the world was peremptory?

Interesting question. Funny answer.

What was the last thing you searched for online? Why were you looking for it?

Hey, dearies! 📚

Quick answer on this one. I am reading Dune and this word: peremptory. It came up and at first I kept reading for a few seconds then came back to it like, what is that? Did I understand the sentence?

So, yes, I had to look for it online. And it means:

adjective: peremptory
insisting on immediate attention or obedience, especially in a brusquely imperious way.

Similar: brusque, imperious, high-handed, brisk

Or in LAW
not open to appeal or challenge; final.

Similar: incontrovertible, irreversible.

Hope you learned a new word as I did. 😄📖
