I've owned about a quarter of these books since high school, and I read two to three books a week, so your math isn't far off! I'd say I'm closer to maybe two thousand books, maybe 2500. I want to get an accurate count at some point! I also want to catalog them so that I can tell what I own without having to call home and have my SO tell me if I've forgotten (I forget pretty often). Just haven't gotten around to doing that yet. But someday!
Ready Player One is set in the near future, in the year 2044. It's a dystopian novel that deals with a virtual reality world. The guy who created the world died, and whoever solves his puzzle gets ownership. The puzzle is solved through a bunch of easter eggs hidden in the world, all of which involve 80's pop-culture and video game references. The first couple of chapters are kind of slow, but by about a quarter of the way in, it just sort of hooks you. I finished most of it in one night before passing it off to the SO. He's not a big reader, but he practically inhaled the book. We've been buying copies from my store when they come in, and just handing them out to friends ever since.
Indy is surprisingly graceful. He corners on a dime! My SO actually nicknamed him "Indy 500" because of his speed, although I'd say the cornering ability is more akin to that of an F1 car. Scott, on the other hand, has some slight brain damage and is pretty derp. He doesn't know how to retract his claws all the way, so they stick to the area rug in the living room as he walks across it. And his tail throws him off balance a lot when he flails it around, so he falls off the furniture when he's excited. Aw, dog! What's his (her?) name? What kind of dog? Also, dog tax.
So jealous of your weather right now! Mid-seventies is perfect. It's been in the forties and fifties this past week. 38º right now, but that's because it's five AM. Sleep is totally important! I don't do mornings. At all. Like, if I'm awake before noon, it's because someone's paying me to be. (Side note: maybe the military isn't the best idea for someone who likes to sleep in late, dude.) Field training should be interesting, if nothing else! Accepted for what?
Pressure cookers can be fun! Slow cookers might be what you're after, in the beginning. Pressure cookers can lead to accidents like this if you're not careful though. Slow cookers don't have, y'know, pressure, so they cook slower (hah, words), but it's the same principle. I've got a slow cooker, but I'm a little nervous to pick up a pressure cooker just in case! Don't want to lose my security deposit on this apartment so spectacularly. XD You should totally ask him! I bet he'd love to teach you. What kind of food does he make?
Yeah, dude, it was a pretty sad thing to watch. The guy stole a book that we paid $100 for, which we priced at $400 (Sex, by Madonna-- unopened, still in the mylar wrapping, and in perfect shape), and he got $20 for it at a pawn shop. I checked online and it doesn't look like the guy has any more convictions after that one (this was in 2013), so there's hope. His defense attorney gave a story about how the guy was abused by his father, made to steal just so he could eat... I don't doubt it. Coming from that sort of background, it's no wonder he'd turn back to theft whenever times were tough.
Jesus, our government sounds kind of like my store. We've spent so much money replacing the broken, leaky AC units that half our computers are still running WinXP while connected to the internet. Thankfully, with PCI compliance, at least they're not the POS terminals! Those are running Win7 and have no internet access. Hooray for F-35s?
Oh man, I've heard so many good things about The Witcher series! I've been meaning to pick them up, I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm re-reading Discworld because SO is supposed to start them soon and I want to refresh my memory a bit. Next on my list is The Blood Mirror, by Brent Weeks. It's the fourth book in the Lightbringer series and it's a really well-done fantasy series. You should check out the Night Angel trilogy by the same author; it's good, and it's finished so you don't have to wait.
Holy crap I'm watching DS9 right now too! I'm halfway through season six! The SO and I started watching it together a few months ago, but I've been on leave because of my hysterectomy (I go back on Friday, woo!) so I powered ahead of where he last saw. Been trying to catch him up this past week. We also just finished Stranger Things, which was phenomenal. Highly recommended, especially if you liked The X-Files at all, or suspense-type stuff. After that, I don't quite know what we'll end up watching. Maybe we'll pick up Voyager? Or we might go back and actually finish TNG. I've seen lots of bits and pieces, but we never watched like, full seasons in a row. The SO grew up watching it with his dad, and has the science officer badge tattooed on his chest! I'm trying to catch up to what all he's seen, I guess.
As a kid, I thought that kids had a lot of things geared toward them, but it was ultimately a grownup's world (mature TV shows, freedom of mobility, etc.). I wonder if times are changing. Like, we kids had our fun and our parents put us first, but we were given boundaries, rules, and taught lessons that come with parenting. We learned that kids don't have to be included in everything, and we could only attend certain events when we were older. And if we did go to an event for the parents (Idk, like if we were dragged to a Tupperware party), we would bring a book/video game and quietly entertain ourselves or play with the other kids without disturbing the adults. There was a book I've been wanting to read here that pertains to this issue.
Edited for grammar.
I bought baby's first cthulhu for my friends baby too! I also got her Pet the Zombie.
I love getting my nices and nephews things like that. I got my other friend a bib that has an arrow pointing up and says "Zombie Snack."

>Kristin Newman spent much of her twenties and thirties buying dresses to wear to her friends' weddings and baby showers. Not ready to settle down and in need of an escape from her fast-paced job as a sitcom writer, Kristin instead traveled the world, often alone, for several weeks each year. In addition to falling madly in love with the planet, Kristin fell for many attractive locals, men who could provide the emotional connection she wanted without costing her the freedom she desperately needed.
>Kristin introduces readers to the Israeli bartenders, Finnish poker players, sexy Bedouins, and Argentinean priests who helped her transform into "Kristin-Adjacent" on the road–a slower, softer, and, yes, sluttier version of herself at home. Equal parts laugh-out-loud storytelling, candid reflection, and wanderlust-inspiring travel tales, What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding is a compelling debut that will have readers rushing to renew their passports.
Gonna see if my library has this now.
I wouldn't want to contribute to the possibility that you will be somewhat paranoid, spiteful, or even just jaded about your brother. You sound pretty darn levelheaded, but I'm just asking you not to file the following comment into those negative buckets.
But these people don't sound like they are capable of appreciating anything you did, and may be just as likely to contrast it negatively with all their favorite premium garbage that they have been inexplicably gifted with. I would expect them to see its lack of designer label. I hope I'm somehow wrong, but in the big picture, it doesn't matter because you are right to cut them.
So yeah you can store the blanket for the time when your nephew (or someone else) is able to appreciate it, just as easily as they can.
This sucks so bad, but you did your best. Your response makes me think of this book which I just stumbled upon.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0316270725
I've read a couple of books about childfreedom (this one and this one aren't on your list), but I'd be more interested in regular books where childfreedom is portrayed positively within the story.
They also need to read Bringing Up Bebe by Pamela Druckerman, which about how the French style of child-rearing produces healthy, happy children who also don't run roughshod over their parents.
Interestingly, the parenting techniques in Druckerman's book were commonly being used 40+ years ago in the USA. I'm still not sure what happened that our culture dropped those methods.
I love my Moldex sparkplugs... they are very comfy and efficient.
All my friends are Dead is another great one.
Many of them say "Adults on Board. We want to live too" Always thought seeing those were pretty funny. https://www.amazon.com/Adults-Board-Want-Live-Too/dp/B00MAO3MD6
My cousin had a shower for every kid. She has four. I was invited to the first one and brought [this] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0743224450/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=999UJX39RKF3&coliid=I229DK1OQILYJP), [this] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0762424915/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=999UJX39RKF3&coliid=I3NVUOR1RXEXLP), and [this'n.] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0061759570/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=999UJX39RKF3&coliid=I2S7SJAR3Q9ZWA). For some reason or another, I wasn't invited to any others. Didn't even get a thank you card like everyone else. And she used to be the snarky fun cousin before she had an "accident" to keep her man from leaving.
I. Love. This. So much that I had to go find it on Amazon.

By a parent, describes what it's like to be a parent with a lot of honesty.
The Myth of Motherhood by Susan Maushart. Mother of 4, wrote the book about a sociologist's view of motherhood from the inside.
[Here] (http://www.amazon.com/Wondfo-Pregnancy-Test-Strips-25-count/dp/B0002YIQEQ) is a link to a really good deal on pregnancy tests courtesy of r/birthcontrol.
You can buy super cheap pregnancy tests on Amazon, 100 for $18.

That's interesting - a friend has a 2.5 year old, and he's started throwing tantrums, etc. So I've read a few articles about toddlers, and they all seem to say you're SUPPOSED to give them choices (to give them the illusion of choice, to reduce tantrums). These articles talk about it like that's the latest science. It'd be odd if the French style also reduced tantrums, but without giving them choices.
There's a popular book called "Bringing up Bébé" about how French parents raise their kids:
https://www.amazon.com/Bringing-Up-B%C3%A9b%C3%A9-Discovers-Parenting/dp/0143122967
> can be overwhelmed by loud noises
Slightly offtopic, but have you tried earplugs? I carry them everywhere and it's really helped me cope with social outings that are loud like bars, concerts, and movies.
I was also thinking of handing her this book sooner to hopefully get her ready for the big talk
http://www.amazon.com/Okay-Youre-Brat-Priorities-Parenthood/dp/1580632025
I doubt it'll sway her opinion, but worth a shot.
These are pretty good for passive noise isolation, wearing them is similar to putting in earplugs. Got them because my neighbors across the hall have a screaming kid:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004U4A5RU/
If taking the pregnancy tests helps keep you calm do it. As far as the cost for the tests goes here's 100 pregnancy tests for $18 you have to pee in a cup then dip em in to use them, but they're just as accurate.
Haven't read yet, but this one got recommended to me:

Not to be an enabler...but if you all don't want to spend a ton of money on pregnancy tests from drugstores or grocery stores, check out these from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Wondfo-Pregnancy-Test-Strips-25-count/dp/B0002YIQEQ
Dollar Tree also has very accurate ones for $1 (and I believe that is specific to Dollar Tree, not any other dollar stores, but someone correct me if I'm wrong!).
I want to smash this turtle when I see it.

All the local neighborhoods have at least one person with one of those stupid yellow plastic kids holding a flag in their yard. http://www.amazon.com/Step2-787699-KidAlert-V-W-S/dp/B001R5CJII
If they were less than $36 I would use them for target practice.
"Abortion. It results in less criminal charges than me drop kicking her stomach."
"If I find out I have a kid only one of us will be alive within 6 months."
"I bet people told Hitler's dad he'd make a great father, look how his kid turned out. Mine would be worse."
"I'd rather remove my testicles with a shard of my glasses."
"I've already picked up a book on parenting! It's called How to Traumatize Your Children. It's the only guide on parenting I'm going to use."
"Sorry, there's already over 20 court orders preventing me from being in any way responsible for children. In fact, I should even be within 200m in any direction of one, but my parole officer is pretty understanding."
"But I'm nearing a metric ton of aborted foetuses. I need to complete my collection first."
"It's the only way I can still consume the flesh of my victims, I actually am a doctor who performs abortions."
"My therapists are concerned that I might listen to the voices in my head which say to flay the flesh of all those related to me by blood, and so shouldn't have kids."
"How long do you think it'll take to have the kid drinking me under the table? Nobody can keep up, and if I can't make a person able to I might as well just stick to slapping down a grand every time I come across someone drinking."
"Pffft, my girlfriend is aiming to be in the Guinness book of records for the most abortions, and I'm not getting in the way of her ambitions."
"I won't allow any baby that can't beat me in a fight share my DNA. I'm nearly at 500 victories, no losses. All fights have resulted in fatality."
All that I can come with right now.
Yeah picking boogers out with their hands is gross, but somehow I find this (admittedly more hygienic) thing to be even nastier.

My daughter had both of these and they were the inspiration for my long standing hatred of Fisher-Price.
Generally speaking you need an earmuff style headphone. Not active-noise cancelling, but passive noise blocking. The type people who work in loud environments are required to wear for safety. Some have headphone jacks. This blocks out noise from across the noise spectrum, they are essentially sound isolation for your ears. They are much bigger though. FYI....Like This: https://www.amazon.com/Howard-Leight-Honeywell-Earmuff-1030110/dp/B004U4A5RU/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1504928713&sr=8-8&keywords=noise+blocking+headphones+for+adults
Active noise cancelling actually lets quite a bit of sound through, it is really not the best tech. As somebody stated it is really for blocking white noise, not the entire sound spectrum.
