Lockup Library First Line Friday November 20, 2020November 19, 2020 This one is simple. I post the first couple lines from a random book on my shelf, and you try and figure out which book it is. The answer will be posted the next Friday, with another first line! Sounds like fun. And away we go! I still get nightmares. In fact I get them… 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
Lockup Library Book appreciation – House of Leaves April 16, 2021 Crystal is rereading House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. This, contrary to my post history, is my absolute favourite book. Ever.

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
