I'm a Libertarian and free-market Capitalist, a loyal UofL & Bengals fan, I love movies, music, and books, and I have a penchant for sarcasm...but I'm mostly here for the books.
Book #50 for the year!

Finishing off the year in style with my second favorite author! (A very close second to Stephen King!)

I added another author to my collection, and I figured @jonathanjanz.bsky.social wouldn't mind "sharing" a shelf with @gabino.bsky.social!

THE ALEX CROW, by @marburyjack.bsky.social

This one is a bit bittersweet, as it's my last one by Andrew Smith, having read 14 of his 15 published novels, with the only exception being an audio book.

(Now I just have a few more to track down.)

The only thing I love more than receiving a new book in the mail is receiving a new signed book in the mail!

One of my favorite things is receiving new books in the mail (and my bank account can attest to such!), and the latest additions include @jonathanjanz.bsky.social's newest novel, VEIL, & @urbancik.bsky.social newest biographical-fiction, URBANCIK: A MEMOIR! Two cool books, from two cool authors!
