A mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep it's edge.

If we ever need a young Sherlock Holmes I think we should get Tom Holland to play him.

Person looking at my bookshelves: Wow. Got enough books yet?
Me, hides a Barnes and Noble bag behind my back, shoves bookmail beneath the bed, discreetly throws blanket over new books from the thrift store: Enough what?

January Haul and Wrap-Up
In the wake of Christmas, and my complete and utter lack of impulse control, I went just a little crazy with the book buying. In January, I bought over 10 books (anything more than five is a lot of books, folks). Some are research material for my sudden Sociology/True Crime fascination, some are Historical Nonfiction, most are YA. I bought the following books in January: Far from the Tree- Andrew Solomon A Mother’s Reckoning, Living in the Aftermath of Tragedy- Sue Klebold No Easy Answers, The Truth Behind Death at Columbine- Brooks Brown Dark Water and Thunderstruck- Erik Larson Lusitania: Triumph, Tragedy and the End of the Edwardian Age- Greg King and Penny Wilson Shooter-Caroline Pignat Nineteen Minutes- Jodi Picoult Grave Mercy- Robin LaFevers The Diviners(E-book)- Libba Bray This is Where it Ends(E-book)- Marieke Nijk Dead Until Dark(E-book)- Charlaine Harris How to Hang a Witch and Haunting the Deep- Adriana Mather
Also in the month of January I managed to finish three books(only two of which actually came from my haul).
How to Hang a Witch and Haunting the Deep- Adriana Mather Sleeping Beauties- Stephen King and Owen King
