Or do I? I’m rescuing them. Yes. That’s the term. Rescue. Not all heroes wear capes, friends.

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!
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!
