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!

Then, I did what I’ve been known for (in order to prolong House of Leaves, I re-read it 4 or 5 times before I finished it); I started Ship of Theseus all over again. Read More
Lockup Library Book haul – Outlander May 24, 2021 So the trip to CapitalCity was a good one, on the book front. My mom had mentioned in the past, that she wanted to continue to read the Outlander series. A couple of years ago, I had sent the first couple up her, she read them and sent them back. Then she had the first… Read More
Lockup Library And your hearts against my chest, your lips pressed to my neck September 3, 2020September 4, 2020 So I was thinking last night. About books, as i picked up Twilight for the thousandth time (hey, i just wanted something light to read last night), of what books I would bring if I was trapped on a deserted island. I know, so deep right? Then I thought, you can’t bring them all, you… Read More
