Borders

 

I know that I have not updated in a while but I want everyone to know that I work part time at Border’s and even though I know that Border’s Group is going through a tough time we are still strong at Borders in Wyomissing PA. We have wonderful knowledgeable people who are happy to talk to you and help you find a book or several books you will love. We also have an in stock guarantee which means if it is at all possible we will not only order the book for you but we will have it shipped for free. We help customers in anyway we can to achieve the highest satisfaction and greatest pleasure of receiving what we at Borders like to think of as a new friend.

 

Yes you can order a book at Amazon but you cannot get the satisfaction of talking to someone who has read the book. Reading reviews has nothing on being face to face with someone who is truly knowledgeable, and friendly. When you come into Borders we understand that not everyone likes all books so we can point you to someone who likes the same genre you do to help you get the most out of your money and your trip to the store.

 

Keep an eye on Borders. I truly believe that we will pull through and again be on top.

Thanks for Thanksgiving.....

Well it is almost Turkey day and I am so happy to have a whole day off on Thursday. I love my second job and working at the bookstore is delightful and I will never give it up but I am tired. So what am I thankful for? I am thankful that my family is healthy. I am thankful that my grandbaby due in April is growing at a normal rate and is having no complications. I am thankful for my friends. I have so much to be thankful for this year and that itself is a reason is to be thankful.So to all my friends and family that read my blog in this a few days before Thanksgiving I wish you time to be thankful for all you have and the hope and wish that you have a properous and wonderful year.

Check it out !!

I am on Goodreads.com. This site is considered a social network site for book worms like myself. I have put a few short reviews on the site and it allows you to track what you read and see what other people have read, along with their reviews. So check it out and friend me!!

Sorry....

Sorry the blog has not been updated daily but life has been kicking my butt. As most everyone knows I am working two jobs and even though I love my job at the book store but it is taxing to work all day going right from one job to another. I know that it will calm down after the holidays but for now I will just deal with it. I do have another 2 books done and as soon as I can focus I will write reviews.




Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I cannot wait for turkey and filling…….

My Lobotomy

Dr. Walter Freeman invented and promoted the ice pick lobotomy. He performed this procedure on approximately 10,000 patients who all manner of mental illness.

At the age of 12, Howard Dully was one of Dr. Freeman’s patients. Dully’s neurotic, jealous,stepmother scheduled the lobotomy. Even though other doctors stated that Dully did not demonstrate any behaviors other than that of a typical preteen boy. After being manipulated by the stepmother Dully’s father agreed on the labotomy, and the family paid $200 to Freeman.
The book chronicles Dully’s life before and after his lobotomy. His childhood was cruel, and not just the normal amount of cruel a child of the ‘50s could expect. His stepmother was verbally and physically abusive; his siblings verify the treatment he received as the family’s whipping post.
Dully began to act out even more when he was labeled a problem child - petty crimes and a bad attitude were the norm. It is difficult to determine if he was actually a troubled child or just living up to the expectations of his stepmother.
Dully’s lobotomy went off as expected, and the results were immediately positive. Eventually, though, the positivity faded away when Dully began to have greater issues that further strained his family relationships, found him in and out of the system, and secured an adult life of instability for him.
At the age of 54, with children of his own, Dully set out to discover the circumstances of his young life and the lobotomy that altered it forever.
My Lobotomy is remarkable as a survivor story, but also as a commentary on medicine and abuse. It answers tough questions and poses important new questions as well.

Rathbone

Just watched No Ordinary Family because Jackson Rathbone was in it. Besides being a little disappointed that his part was not very big I think that he did his usual outstanding job !! Bravo !!
