5 more bookish questions Shawshank, December 9, 2020November 28, 2020 Just scrolling around in the discover feature in the WordPress app, I can usually cobble some pretty interesting questions. Usually enough to fill a post up. What’s your comfort book? It’s been a long time, but I remember really enjoying Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. It’s a story as old as time. Married woman travels back in time, falls in love with a red-haired virgin Scotsman (who by the way can do or build anything). Marries him, travels back to her own time pregnant with the Scotsman’s baby. You know, the usual. It’s well done, and has a great attention to detail. I haven’t read it in such a long time. What’s the book you love so much you want to be buried with it? That is so easy to answer. House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. It’s simply my favourite book. It’s 100% immersive, and always keeps my attention. What’s a book that makes you feel warm inside? Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall. I loved the ending. I definitely smiled when I put the book down. Was it a happy ending, or did the character get what he wanted. I think so. What’s a winter themed novel that you’ve read previously? The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis. I’ll admit, the only book that I have read from the series is this one. But I remember really enjoying it. I have the whole series here, in one book, one day I’ll read it. What’s a book with the best plot twist? Another easy question. I knew the answer without even thinking about it. A Storm of Swords by George RR Martin. Anyone who’s read this can tell you the exact place they were when they read Catelyn’s chapter. I’m talking about The Red Wedding. I threw my book when I read it. Went and got it and read it again. I hadn’t seen it coming. Crystal laughed at me Would you look at this. A book post, and I never even mentioned Twilight. Are you proud of me? I’m proud of me.

Lockup Library So I want to be a paperback writer October 4, 2020 I stare at my books a lot. I look for more books that I want to read. Hopefully I can find some in the two or three second hand stores that I regularly go into. TinyTown and the surrounding areas, I figure, aren’t really into reading. The closest book store is 2.5 hours away. My… Read More
Lockup Library They’re gonna clean up your looks, with all the lies in the books October 9, 2020October 10, 2020 I have a book haul! Well, a book haul over the last two days. Completionist? Yeah, it’s been picking at me. When I first got to TinyTown, I found The Lord of the Rings. Cool, I thought. Then a few weeks later, I was in a rush and thought I was picking up book two,… Read More
Lockup Library Book haul – just one this time January 18, 2021January 18, 2021 I know, I know. I said a couple of days ago, that I probably wouldn’t buy books while in SlightlyBiggerTown, because the second hand store was closed on Saturday. I was in the local “general” store. Kind of like a tiny Walmart, and there’s a little section of books. I found just one that caught… Read More
