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?

When the landlord came today, he measured everything

August 17, 2020August 17, 2020

So just thinking about it, I should probably write a review for my favourite book; House of Leaves. I remember that Crystal had a copy and really loved it, and was trying to explain it to me, but couldn’t. After reading the book, (I think during my first read, I…
