The collection grows

Posted on by Shawshank

Just a quick note. I just finished putting together the LEGO Cullen house from Twilight. I enjoyed putting it together. For those of you new here, I like the Twilight Saga. I have the books (multiple copies), movies, etc. Yes, I know the books and the movies aren’t the greatest in the world, but hey, ya gotta have hobbies, amirite?

It sits on top of the bookcase, because we have a kitten. I don’t want to give him any sort of thoughts that he could jump up and break it. Looking at where it’s placed, I’m pretty sure he can’t make it up. And he was sleeping while I put it up there. So I think we’re gonna be ok. I’ll be sure of that in the morning, if it’s still sitting there.

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!

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!
