Lockup Library: book haul

Hey hey book nerds! Just a wicked quick post. It’s been a while for sure, but I have a book haul!

I wasn’t gonna get the Spanish version of Twilight, but I’m glad Crystal said to get it. I’d be kicking myself if I hadn’t.

And of course, Honor Among Thieves. I read this a few years back, and it’s been on my list to buy if I found it.

Ok, time to relax. We’ve been on the road since 8 this morning. Talk to y’all soon, book nerds!

Book haul!

Hey hey book nerds! It’s been a while huh? We’ll it’s been whirlwind here, but we were in the right place at the right time!

Some guy had just dropped off two bags of Stephen King books. I used one of the bags he carried them in with to stuff it full. Usually the second hand store does a bag sale for a dollar with books. Just a grocery bag. So the lady at the counter said $2. I told her I’ll give $3, so I wouldn’t feel like I was cheating them out of money.

She thanked me. I thanked her.

What a great haul!

Oh baby, don’t you know I suffer? Oh baby, can you hear me moan?

Fuck yeah Twilight!

If you’ve been on my site for a while you know how much the Saga means to me. I wouldn’t say that they’re the perfect movies, but I will fight someone if they call them stupid movies, and most importantly stupid books. I would punch a baby.

They 👏 are 👏 the 👏 best 👏 they 👏 can 👏 be 👏

So now that we have that out of the way. Crystal was buying stuff on Ali Express, and I asked if I could look to see if there was anything that jumped out at me.

Spoiler alert, there was. And let me tell you, I was very surprised that they made it to check out. It was more of a joke, but I’m happy they did get ordered.

Now I just have to wait until mid July to get them!

Hopefully the phone case that ships is the one that’ll fit my phone.

Book haul, but not for me

So yesterday, while I was in CapitalCity, one of the main goals was to find this specific book for my dad for Father’s Day.

Let me preface this by saying that my dad isn’t a reader. I believe he may be on the spectrum, and has a heathy dose of dyslexia. It’s very very hard for him to do any reading. When he was studying for all of his mechanics courses, he would literally memorize the entire book for the course. My mom would read all of them to him.

Anyways, I told him about this book a couple of weeks ago, and immediately was very interested in it, and was asking a lot of questions about it. So like I said getting this book was one of the main reasons to drive 2.5 hours to a city that actually had a book store.

I get to the book store and find the last copy of it. I was so happy, I think I did a little happy dance right there in the store.

I have a YouTube video for him to watch, and then he’ll be able to make his own murder wall!

I have all the faith in the world that he’ll solve this mystery!

Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve posted a book haul, but here it is. It was my birthday a couple of days ago, and Crystal got me a book. She’s really really REALLY good at choosing strange, weird, and wonderful books for me. She’s been responsible for all my amazing books.

She didn’t fail this time either! I’m proud to present –

According to a random blog post about this book there’s 15,511,210,043,330,985,984,000,000 different ways to read this 60s masterpiece. I don’t know if that’s true, or if that blogger is just blowing smoke up my ass.

I’m very excited to read this bad boy. Should I read it how it was presented to me when I opened the front cover, or should I shuffle it more and dice in that way?

Like I said in my previous post, I went to a second hand store, and found a book that completes my movie cover collection of the Twilight Saga! Yay for completionism!

But first, The Unfortunates!
