Ahh, part one of a three part mini series. Hello book nerds! Welcome back, pull up a chair and settle in. Part one is the biggest of the three parts.

It’s a big one isn’t it? In the grand scheme, it’s not a lot, but it’s a start, isn’t it? This is also the only pile of books, that there are one or two books that I won’t reread. I always try and be diplomatic and positive in my book clubs, and reviews, but two of these books won’t be reread. I’m holding on to one of those for Crystal to read when she gets here.

That book? The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt.

The other book that doesn’t get a reread from me is Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

I didn’t enjoy either of these books. And it was a slog to get through them. I shouldn’t have to put that much energy into doing something that I love. Thankfully I only put pocket change into buying them.

The only other one that was meh, was The Escape Artist by Brad Meltzer. It wasn’t great, it wasn’t terrible. But it was like he tried to remake The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in America, and he paired her with a mortician. Odd couple? For sure.

And, if you’ve been following this blog for a while, this pile has my favourite book in it. Go a head, hope you guess my name!

Catch ya later, book nerds!

Hey book nerds! This is just a quick note, a “State of the Union” so to speak (so please hold your applause til the end), of what’s going on over here at the Lockup Library.

I’ve been slacking, but reading a lot more, so I have to get back into it. I assume most every book blogger out there schedules posts. They rarely talk about it, but they do. I’m going to talk about some posts that’ll be coming up in the near future.

There’s going to be some fun stuff coming up. I’m excited to share that sometime this week, or next we’re going to have a guest blogger – Crystal from chicky dot blog will be stopping in to talk about crafting with books.

I’m going to be doing a 3 part miniseries of the books I’ve read since last June. I didn’t want to shove all the books I’ve read into one post, so it’ll be a three parter.

I’m going to schedule a couple of Book Club books, that way if there’s any lurkers out there that want to participate, but don’t want to comment, they can still go out and get the books and follow along.

I’m gonna put out a quick list of 3 or 4 books I want to reread, no time frame for the actual rereads, just some books I want to reread.

I still have one book to put up a book haul. The last time I went into BiggerTown, I only got one book. While disappointing, I still walked out with one book.

Then maybe a meme or two.

That’s all for now, keep on reading you beautiful book nerds!
