Books books, books (sung to the tune of Girls girls, girls) Shawshank, November 23, 2020 So today, with moms approval, I was allowed to move the “Romance Rack” – consisting of at least 80-90% of Nora Roberts complete library out of my room, and back into the living room, where they came from. The Romance Rack with all the dust catchers on it. I waited until my mom and grandmother left for a hair appointment, then moved the bookcase out, and through multiple trips? Brought all the bodice rippers out. So then, I had to move my bookcase over a bit. You see the chunks of wood there? I cut those, with no adult supervision! It only took a few seconds to figure out how to turn on the table saw. I need them there because when I moved moms bookcase, my books fell to the floor. Wood paneling AND that carpet. Hello 1972! Shady Acres is taking a nap. Then we’re off to SlightlyBiggerTown, and I think this’ll be the first week in a long time that I won’t look for books. For two reasons: 1. I’m out of money. 2. I’m out of room on the bookcase. This will be the week that at least 1 of the books on my want list will be there, and someone else will pick it up. I just know it.

Lockup Library Book Review: Sharp Objects November 16, 2020 So I watched the HBO miniseries long before I read the book. I loved the series, so I really wanted to see how the book was. I loved the book as much as the miniseries. Newspaper journalist Camille Preaker, is broken. Mentally broken. Fresh out of a recent hospitalization for… Read More
