Book Club: The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle

Ok book nerds, I’m really trying to get back into the swing of things and actually try to bring back the Lockup Library Book Club.

So for the balance of this month, and probably next month, the book is going to be The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton.

I just started to read it yesterday afternoon, and I’m totally hooked. I can’t wait to have a chance to sit down and read some more!

Until next time, book nerds!

Book club – Bats of the Republic

Hey book nerds! According to my last book post, I finished Orange is the New Black, that means I can start a new book!

Last week, I got a book from CrystalBats of the Republic by Zachary Thomas Dodson. I told myself yesterday, that I’d only read the first chapter – you know to take my time and stretch it out. I ended up reading 49 pages. It’s so easy to fall into this book.

There’s two stories going on in the book – one in the 1800s and one 300 years in the future. Both stories are intertwined in one family.

This should be really good, and I’m excited to take it 1 hour at a time!

Have a great Sunday, book nerds!

Book Club – Orange is the New Black

Well good morning, book nerds! It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? Well I’m back. Today, we’re talking about a new (to me) book for the Lockup Library Book Club. It’s a good one, and I’m sure that most people have seen the show, but today I’ll be talking about the book.

Orange is the New Black by Piper Kerman. It’s basically her memoir of spending 15 months in federal lock up. It starts off mostly the same as the show, probably faster than the show.

I’m really enjoying the book. I’m enjoying the show, but it’s hard to understand how a 295 page book can last 7 seasons.

I’m only a couple chapters in, but it’s pretty good so far.

Until next time, books nerds!

Book club – The Fifty Year Sword

Hello book nerds! The masses have spoken, and yesterday I started The Fifty Year Sword by Mark Z. Danielewski.

Let me tell you I’m throughly confused so far. In House of Leaves, there were only a few different stories to read at once. In Sword, from what I can tell, there’s 5 different “voices” – made plain by different coloured quotation marks. So while I know the “just” of the story, I’m only 23 pages in, and I really have no clue what’s going on!

And I know that I said that I’d talk about the first chapter, but I’m pretty sure that there’s no chapters in this book. But I think that I’m enjoying it!
