Redo of This Post because i missed alot and had more to add

I will be honest, I had totally forgotten that a few years ago, Andrew Tate had mocked anime fans.

So basically what I'm saying is I am enjoying this WAY more than I should but I'm 45 years old today and I have fewer fucks to give.

Oh but wait...this gets better...

The above pic is even funnier if you have already seen "Glass Onion"

Bo-bo-book haul! 🕵️‍♂️🥳

Hit my favorite used bookstore for the first time in a long time and was not disappointed. I might have gone a bit overboard with the mysteries and thrillers. 😅

Finding the Ruth Rendell made my day because Sins of the Father (pubbed in the UK as A New Lease of Death) is insanely hard to find: from what I can tell, only Amazon had it and they wanted $14 for a brand new copy. I liked From Doon with Death and want to continue reading the Inspector Wexford series, but I don't like it enough to spend that much on a copy.

I bought Murder on Bamboo Lane because the main character is a bicycle cop and that's a novelty that I can get behind. 🚴‍♀️👮‍♀️

Miss Otterbourne is right. I love to talk. I am vain, you see. I love people to hear me bring the solution to a crime and say, “See, how clever is Hercule Poirot!”
