KS
grumbled at me on Thursday. I forgot about it. She has/had (I don't
know the proper tense at the exact moment but it was “has” when I
saw) a relatively large cardboard box in her trunk full of books.
When she was getting some tote bags for Price Chopper out of the
trunk, I was rummaging through the box. I grabbed a copy of The
Sea Wolf by Jack London out of it. Because I happen to like Jack
London.
Am
I good or am I good? I figured out how to easily and accurately
remove stickers from the back of glossy books. I haven't figured out
how to do it for paper/matte finished ones yet. I know it works on
glossy though. You take some hand sanitizer and spread it over the
sticker and let it sit for a few minutes (2-3). Then you can just
peel the sticker right off. I never thought to use it that way
before. Now I can get a lot of stickers off of books with glossy
covers. I'll have to experiment with paper and matte.
Finished
DragonHeart by Charles Edward Pogue yesterday (maybe the day
before, I don't remember). It was okay. 3/5 for that alone. I liked
it pretty well. I've already put it into the box marked “Books”
in red. (Get it? Re(a)d Books, I crack me up). Dad said to put the
books I've read into the box. So I did. It must be lonely in there
all by itself. I should really add more to it. Too bad I haven't read
any of the books on the shelf yet.
Yay! I got my review copy of Dear Mr. M by Herman Koch (Hogarth edition estimated publication date of 6/6/17) in on the 1st. It's my....sixth, I want to say sixth, review book from Blogging for Books. Yes, it's the sixth. I've already submitted five reviews for them this year. I want to do at least....twenty-five for the entire year. Sounds like a reasonable goal that I can meet by oh....August.
Anyway, I'll sign off for now, see you next Friday!!
