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!
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 🙂
Welcome back, it’s the second week of the Lockup Library Book Club. We’re still reading The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. I hope everything is going well in your reads
The Historian chapters 21-40
The action is starting to pick up a little. Our main character is with her dad, when she wakes up one morning, looks for her father, but finds a letter addressed to her instead.
“I’ve gone to find your mother…”
I was under the assumption that her mother had passed, but I guess I was wrong. So she goes off to find him. and starts her own adventure to find out her past, and the past of her father.
But the regular story from her father continues as well. By now he’s teamed up with a young woman, who says her father is Professor Rossi, the fathers advisor in university.
The mysteries continue in Budapest, and the mysteries get thicker and deeper.
What did you think of these chapters? We’re over half way through the book now. What do you hope will happen?
See you again next week!
Went to SlightyBiggerTown today for some running around, including groceries. So we carved out some time for me to hit the second hand store for a…..
BOOK HAUL!
I walk in, and do a couple of passes on the book cases, and only find one lonely Stephen King. And it’s the book that I made fun of when we watched the movie long ago. MITER GAY! MITER GAY! Crystal does say the book is better than the movie. Fingers crossed
So I start to walk back to pay for it, and I spy a little blue sign that says fill a bag of books for a buck. Say no more, a nudge is as good as a wink to a blind bat, yanno! So I went up to the counter and asked for a bag, and went back for more.
I’ll try and be short with my motivations for buying each book. Please hold all questions to the end of the presentation.
Sometimes you just need a mindless book. Of course it’ll have to be a Jack Reacher novel – now with 100% less Tom Cruise.
I’ve never seen the movie, but a quick google says this one could be scary.
The Cemetery Dance is your chance to do the hump – now it’s stuck in your head too.
Now this one just looks kinda of cool. Who doesn’t judge books by their covers?
Now by this point of been over these 4 bookcases (that are a lot and I mean a LOT of Danielle Steel, and other romances), and this little gem is sitting there, just waiting for me to pick it up. I’d have pushed people out of the way to get it. The TV show was amazing.
Any questions?
