Lockup Library – retail therapy edition

Shawshank, March 3, 2021

Yesterday, I had a lot nervous energy. We were closed, so I told NewGirl I was going for a walk.

And walk I did.

Right to the second hand store that just opened again. After a twenty minute wait, I went right the the book section. Within seconds, I had a couple of books. The Twilight actually has the Life and Death novel where it’s gender changed. New Moon – just because. And the 50 Shades? Why not? Might as well have the crappy fanfic of the Saga.

Don’t you judge me… 💀

I’ll admit, I felt better afterwards. I really did. And the best thing, all for $5

They’re already in the bookcase.

Question: should I take my grammas Louis L’Amour books? She’s offered them for me to read. Who knows, maybe I’ll be in the mood for a good western novel. They used to be my grandfathers.

Until next time, book nerds!
