Martin's Collection

A few times a year I find something in the Goodreads give away list that intrigues me and I enter. Well for the first time I actually won one.

The Cold Millions by Jess Walter:

The cover photo really looked like Spokane falls to me so I tried to find info on the photo. I failed but I did find that the author was born in Spokane so I believe the photo is of Spokane falls. Now I just need to fit the novel into reading list.

Used my $25 gift from eBay to move one step closer to completing my Joe Hill ARC set.

Nice!! I love the art work. Not find of the shape. I passed on this edition and I have no regrets based on the book shape....... But I have plenty of regrets based off the art work.

I had no issue with the shape but was not keen on the art when it was first announced. Now I really love the art.

Took these photos a while back. Chose not to post them as people had not received their copy yet, then never got back to them.

Thanks! I’ll add to to the queue for my October viewing.

I will probably watch it again in October.

Watched it tonight. The acting will not win any awards but I really enjoyed it, very dark and creepy. Overall a good film.

A couple of shipping side notes:
Amazon puzzles me. Yesterday I received a package of Clorox toilet bleach tablets. It was bagged in a bubble bag with additional bubble packaging snuggly enclosed in a box. This one comes in a slightly padded envelope.

USPS has gone from very reliable to a complete mess in the last month. At this time I have four packages now marked as arriving late dating as far back as August 18th.
