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? This post contains affiliate links. If you use these links to buy something, I may earn a commission. Thanks.

Lockup Library You walk like an angel, talk like an angel October 13, 2020October 13, 2020 It’s a another book haul – with a twist. One of the books, if I had known it was part 1 I probably would’ve put it back. I have a feeling it’s going to be hard to find part 2 – book club edition. So a while back, I bought… Read More
Lockup Library What’s your bookcase look like? January 7, 2021January 7, 2021 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… Read More
