Book haul – welcome to the world!

Posted on by Shawshank

Hey book nerds! Just wanted to share a quick book haul. But get this, the books are not for me this time! They’re for my baby nephew, E. as an aunt and uncle, we’re trying to get things for the kids that have nothing to do with screen time.

Board games, card games, and LEGO. that’s the kind of aunt and uncle we are.

Well baby E came in to this world a couple months back, and for his first present, we’re getting him books. Books are awesome, and I hope he grows a love of books like Crystal and I.

Until next time book nerds!

Lockup Library questions for you guys

Posted on by Shawshank

Hey book nerds. I’m sitting here wracking my brain to figure out what to post – bookish stuff.

I’ll admit, I have no idea what I’m doing here. It’s hard to know if what I am doing is right. I get no feed back from people reading. At this point I don’t even know if people are reading what I write.

I post stuff looking for feedback, or some sort of interaction. I get nothing. EDIT: the last 10 book posts (at least 4 asked for feed back) I got NO comments. Nothing. Nathan. Nada. It’s very frustrating.

What do you guys want to see?

Hello, is this on? – taps microphone.

I post for me, I really really do. I do however hope for some interaction. It’s hard to spend time and energy into book blogging when people just scroll by. Do I need flashier graphics? I don’t know. I think I will keep posting about book stuff. I probably should learn how to link back to people and all that stuff.

I guess I’ll have to buckle down and continue putting out bookish content for me. And maybe, just maybe, someone will make a comment.

Until next time, book nerds!

Book haul

Posted on by Shawshank

Hey book nerds! Just wanted to do a quick book haul from SlightlyBiggerTown. I hope the second hand store here in TinyTown opens again soon because I really do miss going there. I went last Friday, and they had already closed for the new year. I don’t know when they open again. Hopefully soon.

Anyways, here’s my 3 book haul!

If anyone has the dust cover for Breaking Dawn, I’d very much like it. Message me, and I can give you address. I’ll send something back from TinyTown if you’d like.

Crystal says the the host is a better book than the movie. So we’ll see. Until next time, book nerds!

What’s your bookcase look like?

I’m a curious guy, I like to see what other people book shelves are like. When I got to TinyTown in June, I had 7 books. They, when stacked on the floor came to probably lower shin. I didn’t have a bookcase until July or August I think. My mom and I went to a yard sale where they had a metal 4 shelf bookcase. She bought it for me. By that time I maybe had 20 books.

Well, that bookcase is full, and the stacked pile on the floor comes to close to my knee. I’m working on finding another bookcase. As long as it’s inexpensive.

So what’s your bookcase look like? I’d love to see it.

Where’s your reading nook?

What’s your favourite place to read? Your Fortress of Solitude? Do you hid in the bathroom to read to get away from your kids? In the bathtub after a hard days work? Where’s your book nook?

Me? I’m a simple guy. I like to lay on my bed. That’s my Fortress of Solitude. I’m left alone when I’m in my room. When I’m in my room, I’m surrounded by friends. My friends are my books. Crystal is in my room too. There’s pictures of her all over the walls there. I’m not alone when I’m in my room.

I do all of my reading in there. It’s quiet and for the most part mine.

It makes me happy in there.
