What’s one book that you wish you could read again for the first time? Shawshank, January 5, 2021January 5, 2021 I’ve always said that you can only read a book for the first time. You can only be surprised by a twist or a cliff hanger once. Which book do you wish you could read again for the first time? For me, it’s A Storm of Swords by George RR Martin. Yes, that one. For those in the know, they know what I’m talking about. Crystal does for sure. This is the one book that I’ve thrown across the room once I hit that certain chapter. Do you know which one I’m talking about? The North Remembers. Yeah, I’m talking about The Red Wedding. Martins writing in that chapter is flawless. He navigates with expertise, I didn’t know what was happening until it was over. Cue throwing the book, and just rushing to get it, and rereading the chapter over again. I wish I could read it again for the first time. Lockup Library blogbloggerbookbook loverbook questionsbooksjournalreadingtalking about books

You have to start your admiration of it by the cover. You simply cannot judge this book by the cover. You can’t even read reviews if it on the internet. You have to… Read More
Lockup Library They’re gonna clean up your looks with all the lies in the books November 11, 2020 Just scrolling through the discovery open here on the Wordpress app – using book keywords to find like minded people, I’ve seen weird things lately. You book people, is that all you do? No jobs or anything? I was scrolling and saw one person “was well on her way to 400 books read this year”.… Read More
