You said you’d stand by me in the middle of chapter three

Here’s what everybody has been waiting for! Help me choose my next Book Club book!* I’m going to post my bookcase, and then write out the titles of all the books per shelf (it’s easier this way) – I’m going to try and label the books that I’ve read with (r) I’ll try and capitalize all the titles.

* it would be wicked awesome if y’all had some of the same books, and we could actually chat about the books in the Book Club. But it’s all good, I write this stuff for me, and then for you guys.

Way hey and away we go donkey riding

Awake. It feels like I slept in my left eye. It hurts a little to blink, like not hurt hurt, but hurt. Yanno?

And sometime today, I’ll be posting pictures of my bookcase, in hopes that You, the readers will help me choose the next book to review, and talk about in the Book Club.

But right now, it’s coffee time. Please, excuse me for a moment. Mm, kaffee.

It’s early, and I can’t think of anything else to write this morning. Later, I’ll post something else. Happy Thursyay!

With the furies breathing down your neck

My mom and dad had to go to another province for some tractor parts, so I’m here babysitting my gramma. I just popped out to grab the mail, and now I’m back where it’s warm.

I also brought in some contraband.

We have a provincial election on the 26th of this month, and as Crystal can corroborate, my mom is a staunch conservative. STAUNCH. from what Crystal says, every second or third post on Facebook is about how the liberal government are a joke, the Prime Minister is an idiot, and so on and so forth.

I am not a conservative. I’m not going to vote for them, even though they’re the favourites to win. It’s a lot more difficult to figure out who to vote for here. I think there’s 4 or 5 different parties to choose from.

I’m voting for these guys. Part of their platform is to raise the minimum wage to $15. This province has the lowest minimum wage in the country.

For my American brothers and sisters – VOTE

And love is only one fine star away

Well we’re almost there! What day is it? That’s right, it’s HUMP DAY! I woke up this morning, and the snow is still on the ground. I was hoping it was a fever dream or something. But, alas (earwax), it was not.

I just heard a riveting story on how my grandmother found a pair of gloves on the sidewalk in front of her retirement condo, and put up notices and talked to just about everyone in the building, and no one said they lost a pair. So she kept them. And still has them. And, fun fact, is wearing them today.

Her and my mom are currently at the medical clinic for them to get some blood drawn I think. They’ll be back in about a half hour. But until then, sweet silence. Just me, my coffee, and the local morning news.

I’m in the final stretch of The Historian. It’s getting good, and there’s a chance that I won’t make the third Book Club, because I’ll be done. I think I have about 250 pages left.

She obliterated everything she kissed

Just a quick book haul. I’m bleeding the local second hand stores of their good books. It’s starting to be slim pickings – which is a good thing, because I have a few books in a pile to read.

I plan on when I’m finished with The Historian to offer up the next book to read (and book club) to you guys. But that’s another post entirely.

Anyways, here’s the book haul 🙂
