I need a photo opportunity – I want a shot at redemption

Shawshank, October 15, 2020October 16, 2020

Went to SlightyBiggerTown today for some running around, including groceries. So we carved out some time for me to hit the second hand store for a…..

BOOK HAUL!

I walk in, and do a couple of passes on the book cases, and only find one lonely Stephen King. And it’s the book that I made fun of when we watched the movie long ago. MITER GAY! MITER GAY! Crystal does say the book is better than the movie. Fingers crossed

So I start to walk back to pay for it, and I spy a little blue sign that says fill a bag of books for a buck. Say no more, a nudge is as good as a wink to a blind bat, yanno! So I went up to the counter and asked for a bag, and went back for more.

I’ll try and be short with my motivations for buying each book. Please hold all questions to the end of the presentation.

Sometimes you just need a mindless book. Of course it’ll have to be a Jack Reacher novel – now with 100% less Tom Cruise.

I’ve never seen the movie, but a quick google says this one could be scary.

The Cemetery Dance is your chance to do the hump – now it’s stuck in your head too.

Now this one just looks kinda of cool. Who doesn’t judge books by their covers?

Now by this point of been over these 4 bookcases (that are a lot and I mean a LOT of Danielle Steel, and other romances), and this little gem is sitting there, just waiting for me to pick it up. I’d have pushed people out of the way to get it. The TV show was amazing.

Any questions?

4 books I’ve discovered while blogging

November 30, 2020November 30, 2020

Since I’ve started blogging, I’ve tried to stick to new and interesting books. Books out of left field, like Ship of Theseus, House of Leaves, etc. I’m trying not to just go back to the old comfortables, like the Dresden Files, random, mysteries, etc. I like to be challenged. Make me work for it! I…

So did everyone guess correctly? Was it too difficult? Will this one stump you or not? Ok, last weeks book was: House of Leaves. Quite possibly my favourite book. If you haven’t read it, you probably should. And now this weeks: The naked child ran out of the hide-covered lean-to toward the Rocky beach at…

This or that Tuesday

This one is also a fun one, forcing me to choose this or that. Sometimes I can choose, sometimes I can’t. It’s fun to figure out when I can or can’t. So let’s not wait for it. Let’s get this party started. It’ll be lit, as the kids say these days. Trilogy or book series…
