Talk Tuesday: Reading Material

Tuesday, January 23, 2018

Distractions waste time,
unless they encourage your muse
to write or to read.

The Talk Tuesday prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" 
What are you reading? Tell us what's at or near the top of your TBR (to be read) pile, and why you're interested in it.

Reading Material

What am I reading? Online I am reading a novel, https://www.wattpad.com/story/132347172-the-royal-renegade, and a series of articles called "God Speaks Again", http://bahaiteachings.org/series/god-speaks-again. Offline I am reading Summons of the Lord of Hosts and Dawn-Breakers: Nabil's Narrative of the Early Days of the Bahá'í Revelation by Nabil-i-A'zam and translated by Shoghi Effendi. I am, also, reading and reviewing short pieces on writing.com.

What is on my to be read list? On my offline reading list is (1) whatever science fiction or fantasy books I have in the house, (2) Tahirih in Hisory: Perspectives on Qurratu'l-'Ayn From East to West, (3) Kitab-i Aqdas: the Most Holy Book, and (4) Kitáb-i-Íqán: The Book of Certitude. On my online reading list are (1) a series of articles titled "Figuring Out Prophecy", http://bahaiteachings.org/series/figuring-out-prophecy, and (2) articles in the online journal e*lix*ir, http://www.elixir-journal.org/.

That is all I plan to read in 2018. I don't know if I will finish those items, but I plan to make a good attempt at it. What I do not finish this year will go on my reading list for next year. However, I would like to start a new reading list in 2019.
