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! Lockup Library birthday monthblogbloggerbookbook haulbook loverbooksjournalpersonal blogreadingtalking about books

I think before I left, I had about 20 books in my “TBR” or to be read pile. Some of them looked… Read More
Lockup Library Last book haul before moving March 15, 2021 First things first – I’m terribly sorry about the complete lack of bookish posts here. I’ve been working my way through the full series of Downton Abbey. And preparing to move. I’ll be moving in about 2 weeks. But I did go into SlightlyBiggerTown today, just to get some odds… Read More
