I did a bad thing today...I bought more books. This time they were all non-fiction books. I feel like that should matter. They're all about expanding my mind and my health. So its an investment in me and my future. That's what I'll tell my wife. And they were all used, and I got them on sale!

School Vacation and we are at the library! I came prepared and already have my bag filled with my new foster books. The kids are searching for theirs. This is my kind of day off!!

January Book Reviews:

My Wife: You have too many books for that bookcase, it looks cluttered. Me: It's a good thing I have another bookcase downstairs...but then I won't have enough books to fill them both. My Wife: I guess you'll need more books. Me: 20 years in and you still know what to say to get me excited.

Did someone say “buy physical copies of banned books”? No, yes? Is this a good start?

Today’s book haul. Book Dragon in me is sated for today. #bookdragons #booksunbound #booksky

Mama did some damage! Birthday gift cards are GONE!

Has anyone else used WorldofBooks.com to order from before? My ship tracker still says USPS doesn't have the package yet, its been 3 days. Is this usual? Their site is less than helpful, as is their customer service. Any experience with this?

Everyone is sick. My fever has reached “cannot read” level. There were no books at Costco. The world is ending. My Wife: Your book order is ready at the library. Me:

Why am I so happy this morning? Wife: We really should buy physical copies of banned books. Me: Yes, we should. Wife: Can you start making a list of them? Me: What, like now? Like you want to start getting them now? Wife: Yes, sooner than later. MISSION ACCEPTED!

Leader at work asked me to work dinner next week, letting me choose the location. Set it up for a nice place next to a Barnes & Noble, because I have birthday gift cards burning a hole in my pocket!!!! Can't wait to share my next haul!

It's a good thing I write using Scrivener on a personal laptop at home. I'd be fired by now. Sitting at work, trying to focus, while plot hole after plot hole is being filled by my adhd brain who does NOT want to write another email...Thank goodness for Notes apps. #lovetowrite #authorsky

OMG! Finished the 2nd in Tracey Deon's trilogy and it did NOT disappoint! WOW. That ending! I highly recommend. The audiobook was amazing, the narrator is fantastic. SO GOOD. #booksky #booksunbound #bookdragons #fantasy #arthurianlegends

So many amazing book recs this week. I updated my Amazon book list (for tracking...I'll get as many possible through the library and local indie stores). Keep them coming! #booksky #bookdragons #booksunbound #bookrecs #bookwishlist

Books in my "I need to buy this ASAP" pile. Have a lot of work ahead of us, but with a bit of preparation and education I'm hoping that we can be just a smidge more self-reliant/local-reliant. Local CSAs, small bookstores, I'd rather give my money to my neighbors, people I can look in the eye.

In the current climate in the US, this feels like something I want tattooed somewhere prominent!

WOW! I love it! Some fantastic book recs by black authors! I'm always looking to branch out my reading but never know what's good. Thanks for the recs! Think I may grab "The Gilded Ones," "An Academy for Liars" and maybe "Blood Debts". Which ones are you going to add to your TBR?
