Book thoughts
I keep ordering more books, but I am reading my books at a solid enough pace that my book count is not rising crazy fast..
Although I did just buy 10 books online the other day so I will be over 100 unread books at that point... Help
Current unread physical book count: 95

PERSONALITY SHIFT!!
I got a septum piercing,got a skateboard, fell off my skateboard, went to a concert and found a band that I love, went to another concert and found ANOTHER band that I love. Saw a band that I love with Poob and had a baller time.
I’m finally getting to a spot where I do not give a single damn. I’m getting stronger personally and I am proud of it.
Unfortunately I have been sick twice and have gotten injured so I have not been reading much at all for the month of May. I might not even reach over 2 books read this month.
But here are my band recommendations as of recent:
Colorblind
Windwakers
Paleface Swiss
Sace6
Greta Van Fleet
Jutes
Thats all I have! Thanks for tuning in!
Okay I love you byee!!
Im still looking to get this gal. Although the timeline has shifted a bit.
Classics Corner
Classics are daunting. I have a total of 28 classics (what I consider to be classics anyways) sitting at my house right now. I have read about 3 of them. That's a little embarrassing. This is my "Classic Corner" where I will update my progress on my classics.
THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES - SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
This book novel is about the Baskervilles, a family long ailed by the lore of a large hound due to past family member's wrongdoings. The former head of the house Sir Charles Baskerville has seemingly passed away from the sight of a hound come to kill him, but his physician thinks there is something more to the case and now the new inheritor of the house, Henry Baskerville's life has been threatened.. There is something more to be had and Sherlock and Watson are on the case.
This book was a treat! I finished it in just a couple of days when I put my mind to it! Find the post in our book reviews!
My scary hound, also subsequently could give an old man a heart attack worthy of killing him
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself. Would you look at the chap? This is a guy with a mind for something larger and more intricate than that of a pint at the pub.
< A much prettier cover of the book
The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde
A young man falls into the path of evil, he remains beautiful but his portrait twists into a disgusting portrait of the person he has become.
This book has a good concept but god it was sooo boring. Not until the very end does it become quite interesting. 4 deaths on his hands and Dorian then decides to lose it. Okay. This book needed to be 50 pages long. Good premise, too long.
^ I wish I had this cover of this book
Look at this fuckin guy. Oscar Wilde looks British (derogatory)
Live footage of Dorian Gray going out to eat dinner and get drinks and the fuck else he does all goddamn day
In Dubious Battle - John Steinbeck
I do not even have one notion to what this book is about. I just know its about fruit farmers uprising in the great depression. Very excited for it though bc John S. is a baller writer. UPDATE - I am 113 pages into this book and it is pretty good. Fruit pickers are staging a strike in order to have livable wages. I'm a little cautious of one of our main characters though I am not going to lie.
The Pearl - John Steinbeck
THROW THAT PEARL BACK IN THE OCEAN PLEASEEEEEEEE!!!! This book was so tiny I can't even tell you what its about without spoiling it, but just know it was a heater.
WOWIE ZOWIE HE'S SMART AND HANDSOME??
