Trying to re-enter my literate era and exit my iPad baby era because ebooks are not cutting it… I finally explored the library in my new neighborhood and it was glorious. I forgot how exciting it is to leave the library with a veritable HAUL! when I was a kid I would check out like 30 books at a time, fiction and nonfiction, just whatever piqued my interest as I walked through the shelves. Returning them was always an ordeal where I would have to go through the receipt item by item to make sure I didn’t miss anything. I exercised self control this time so it wasn’t that extreme but I can tend to want to flit from book to book so getting a mix of titles felt right.
I’m most excited about Joyce Carol Oates’ newest novel Butcher and will probably start with that because her writing is addictive and I love her deranged fanfiction accounts of real life historical subjects that end up feeling more real than the actual facts (lol I’ll drop the synopsis in the comments because it’s kind of long)
