Birthday month book haul!

Shawshank, June 22, 2021

What’s up, book nerds?!

So yesterday, I’m sitting at home – as one does on a day off, and I hit refresh on the 4 packages that I’m tracking from the beautiful Crystal. After the page refreshes, it says I have a package at the post office. It’s noon, and TinyTown shuts down from 12-1 everyday. I’m serious, an air raid siren actually goes off every day at noon.

So I wait an hour to go and get my package. I know what’s in it. I remembered a couple of nights ago that it’s ponies – custom My Little Ponies, and some DVDs. No biggie. I walk over and get the slip out of my PO Box. But there’s two tags on it, meaning that I have two parcels.

TWO PARCELS!

I get the box of ponies, and there’s another. I don’t look at it. It’s an international package, that means that there’s a customs sticker on it saying what’s in the envelope. It sits upside down on my kitchen table for 9 hours. 9 HOURS. I won’t open a birthday present without Crystal watching on Duo.

I open it, and it’s a book! It looks very cool, and Crystal says that it was suggested – if you liked House of Leaves, you’ll love Bats of the Republic.

I can’t wait to start reading this! It looks strange and different, and has a ribbon bookmark!

Fancy!

Hey book nerds! Just wanted to do a quick book haul from SlightlyBiggerTown. I hope the second hand store here in TinyTown opens again soon because I really do miss going there. I went last Friday, and they had already closed for the new year. I don’t know when they…
