Looking back – a year ago Shawshank, September 4, 2021 So Crystal installed a way back machine on the site when I hit 365 days of posts, and yesterday I saw a book post from last year asking what 3 books that I would bring if I was marooned on a deserted island. Last year, I said I’d bring: Twilight. Because, it’s Twilight, possibly one of the greatest vampire love stories of the 20th century. ‘Nuff said. House of Leaves. Because, it’s a totally immersive book that you can almost take a bite of. It pulls you in all the way. Ship of Theseus. Again, another immersive book. Looking back, I’d probably lose all the extras that are stuffed in the book. I saw the post, and was inspired to update the list. There’s only one that has stayed the same. Can you guess which one? I bet you dollars to donuts, that you cannot guess which book will be the same as last year. The first book is one that I haven’t read yet, as I’m waiting for October to read a horror book. The first book that I would bring to a deserted island would be The Troop by Nick Cutter. The second book I would bring is the last book that I finished – Bats of the Republic by Zachary Thomas Dodson. It was a great book that pulls you in from the first page. I’m sure there’s so much more to learn about the world that Dodson created. The last book is …. Wait for it …. Are you shivering in antici….. …. pation? The last book is House of Leaves. If you haven’t read it yet, then all that you have read couldn’t have possibly prepared you for HoF. Until next time book nerds!

I said a couple of days ago, that I probably wouldn’t buy books while in SlightlyBiggerTown, because the second hand store was closed on Saturday. I was in the local “general” store. Kind of like a tiny Walmart, and there’s a little section of books. I found just one that caught… Read More
Lockup Library Oh baby can you hear me moan August 30, 2020August 30, 2020 “About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was part of him — and I didn’t know how dominate that part might be — that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.” Aww yis! You know it. Let’s do a book… Read More
