Everything's more fun if it's a vice!

by
Post by love drops My best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in your life, and it can become a vice if you play your cards right.

Everything's more fun if it's a vice!😂

I mean, I get it, it should be the other way around because Koontz is better than King 🤔😁

by
Post by geeky steven - Abortion is a right When I worked at a bookstore, I learned that when an author like Dean Koontz signs his books, their resale value goes up. I also learned that when an author like Stephen King signs Dean Koontz's books, the price goes even higher and that Dean Koontz is not amused by this.

I mean, I get it, it should be the other way around because Koontz is better than King 🤔😁

Post by Louise Jensen Duffy So, a lot of people ask me why I buy so many books. The truth is, I have a genetic disorder where my body doesn’t produce enough books of its own, so I have to supplement.
