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!

Lockup Library Book Review: Sharp Objects November 16, 2020 So I watched the HBO miniseries long before I read the book. I loved the series, so I really wanted to see how the book was. I loved the book as much as the miniseries. Newspaper journalist Camille Preaker, is broken. Mentally broken. Fresh out of a recent hospitalization for… Read More
