Sometimes I’m a strong man, sometimes cold and scared Shawshank, October 6, 2020October 7, 2020 So I emailed the local library asking when the next book sale will be they didn’t have a date planned, but they said I could come down and poke through their shed of books. Nothing jumped out at me – a lot of Readers Digest Condensed books, kids books, a couple of James Bond novels, but nothing I had to have. I did volunteer to organize the books and take photos for an online book sale. But we’ll see if that pans out. I’ve offered to volunteer at a couple of places, and people seemed excited, but nothing has come of it. It’s been six months and nothing yet. But maybe I’ll be able to help the library out. So from there, I hoofed it over to the second hand store. I stood in line for half an hour – as they have their pandemic rules in effect, only six people in at a time. That’s ok, I’ve never seen it that busy. Then I saw why, they’re doing a bag sale – stuff a bag full of clothes, and only pay $7 I did manage to find two books! Can’t wait to start them after the book I’m currently reading. Crystal always says that his short stories are really good, but I don’t think she’s read these ones because they are some of his newer ones. We’ll see how it turns out. Yay reading!

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… Read More
Lockup Library I don’t want to be buried in a pet cemetery August 26, 2020August 26, 2020 In an effort to prolong this glorious read, I labeled all the inserts and pulled them out of the book. Then, I did what I’ve been known for (in order to prolong House of Leaves, I re-read it 4 or 5 times before I finished it); I started Ship of… Read More
Lockup Library So I want to be a paperback writer October 4, 2020 I stare at my books a lot. I look for more books that I want to read. Hopefully I can find some in the two or three second hand stores that I regularly go into. TinyTown and the surrounding areas, I figure, aren’t really into reading. The closest book store… Read More
