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!

Lockup Library Mondrei (drei is German for 3) December 21, 2020December 21, 2020 Who’s your favourite fictional couple? Wow, that’s either an easy answer, or a very difficult one. Depending on what you expect me to say. Heh. The easy one would be to say Bella and Edward. Or even Hermione and Ron. But that might be really too easy, amirite? So I’ll… Read More
