Book Review: Bats of the Republic Shawshank, August 24, 2021 Hey hey book nerds! Long time no reading. Yeah, I went through a bit of a reading slump as of late. But thanks to BossLady being gone, and harvest here, it’s pretty slow at work. So I ran home and grabbed my book. Let me first say that this is a gorgeous book. When it finally arrived, I quickly flipped through it while on a video call with Crystal – she’s the one that thought that I’d like it, she knows my tastes so well. I loved it on first sight. Bats of the Republic by Zachary Thomas Dodson is an amazing book. Essentially, there’s two stories – the first one is set in the Republic of Texas in the year 2143, and the second in 1843. These two stories are intertwined. I don’t want to give too much away – but I will mention an envelope in the back of the book that says DO NOT OPEN. I had finished the book, and was still uncertain if I should open it. I’m glad that I did. What a great book – I think I understand it. But you know what’s great about books? If you don’t understand a part in it, you can go back and reread it. I definitely plan to reread this beautiful amazing book. Until next time, book nerds!

Lockup Library Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high August 29, 2020 Still reading ‘Ship of Theseus’, I still have no idea what’s going on. I’m dealing with the main story, and the secondary story in 3 different time frames (depending on the colour of the ink). It’s very confusing. I’m going to have to find a guide to reading this book,… Read More
