Lockup Library Show me your bookcase(s) March 29, 2021 So I just had to get out of Shady Acres for a while. I was going stir crazy. My mom yelled at my gramma because she’s not walking. She’ll get up in the morning, walk to the kitchen. Make breakfast. Sit for 2 hours playing in her iPad. Get up,… Read More
Lockup Library Book haul – I took my dad to the hospital edition May 3, 2021 So after I dropped my dad off at the hospital, I figured I had about 2 hours before I had to be back to pick him up. So I had some time. First stop – Value Village. I didn’t find anything of note there. Sadly. Then, after thinking about it,… Read More
Lockup Library Books – a year in review December 31, 2020December 31, 2020 As I lie here at 10:42 on New Year’s Eve, scrolling through the discover feature on the WordPress app, I feel the need to talk a lot about all the books I read this year.

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. Reply
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! Reply
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. Reply
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 🙂 Reply
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. Reply
