Book haul, but not for me Shawshank, June 19, 2022 So yesterday, while I was in CapitalCity, one of the main goals was to find this specific book for my dad for Father’s Day. Let me preface this by saying that my dad isn’t a reader. I believe he may be on the spectrum, and has a heathy dose of dyslexia. It’s very very hard for him to do any reading. When he was studying for all of his mechanics courses, he would literally memorize the entire book for the course. My mom would read all of them to him. Anyways, I told him about this book a couple of weeks ago, and immediately was very interested in it, and was asking a lot of questions about it. So like I said getting this book was one of the main reasons to drive 2.5 hours to a city that actually had a book store. I get to the book store and find the last copy of it. I was so happy, I think I did a little happy dance right there in the store. I have a YouTube video for him to watch, and then he’ll be able to make his own murder wall! I have all the faith in the world that he’ll solve this mystery! Lockup Library blogbloggerbookbook bloggerbook loverbooksjournalpersonal blogreadingtalking about books
