You said you’d stand by me in the middle of chapter three

Shawshank, October 22, 2020

Here’s what everybody has been waiting for! Help me choose my next Book Club book!* I’m going to post my bookcase, and then write out the titles of all the books per shelf (it’s easier this way) – I’m going to try and label the books that I’ve read with (r) I’ll try and capitalize all the titles.

Ok, are you ready?!

Top shelf:

Twilight (r), Twilight (r), New Moon (r), Eclipse (r), Breaking Dawn (r), Midnight Sun (r)

Second shelf:

Ship of Theseus (r), House of Leaves (r), The Goldfinch (r), Night School, Pet Sematary, Lord John and the Private Matter, The Hunger Games (r), Catching Fire (r), Mockingjay (r), Raw Shark Texts (r), Night Film (r), The Escape Artist (r), Cats Cradle (r), The Slaighterhouse Five (r), Foucaults Pendulum (r), Red Sparrow, Verses for the Dead, The Cabinet of Curiosities, Still Life with Crows

Third shelf:

ABC and XYZ of Beekeeping, The Girl on the Train, Shōgun part 1, The Essex Serpent, Mr Mercedes, Finders Keepers, Full Dark no Stars, The Bazaar of Bad Dreams, NOS4A2 (r), Dreamcatcher, Lost Girls, The Clan of the Cave Bear, The Fellowship of the Ring (r), The Two Towers (r), Return of the King (r)

Fourth shelf:

Cemetery Dance, Brave New World, Sharp Objects (r), Die Trying, Sphere

* it would be wicked awesome if y’all had some of the same books, and we could actually chat about the books in the Book Club. But it’s all good, I write this stuff for me, and then for you guys.

Take a look, it’s in a book

September 26, 2020October 5, 2020

So there’s this “discover” option in the WordPress app, and the tags I’m interested in are books etc. And I found a couple of book blogs that I looked at and found one with a pretty interesting post, Opposite Books Tag. I guess there’s a series of questions of opposites…

    Slaughterhouse Five is on my list of books I’d like to read, so I’d vote that.

    Of also like to recommend The Kingkiller Chronicles to you. A series of fantasy books by Patrick Rothfuss. Two books so far, with a third still to come. I loved them.

      Hiya Michael, welcome! Unfortunately, I’ve already read Slaughterhouse Five. I was looking for help in choosing a book on my shelves that don’t have an (r) behind the title.

      Right now I’m limited to the books I have on my shelves, as I’m literally a half hour from 2 other small towns and 2+ hours away from big cities with bookstores. I aggressively patrol second hand stores where I can get good books cheap. But if I see the KingKiller Chronicles in the second hand shops, I’ll pick em up!

    Brave New World. I think I’ve read that one before but I’m not sure so would also be interesting to read your review. Someone is advertising you again lol.

      Hey John! That’s two votes for Brave New World. I guess that’ll be the next book. I’ll see if any more comments come through. My reviews are awesome!

      She’s the best for advertising.

      Thank you very much for stopping by 🙂

    I’d suggest Brave New World or Full Dark, No Stars. They’re both wildly different from each other, but I don’t think there’s anything on your “read” list that’s similar to Brave New World.
