I wanted to get out of the house today so we went to eat at a nearby restaurant this afternoon. Then I wanted to go to the bookstore. Which we hadn't been to in quite some time, since the spousal person works at the library and he just brings home books for me to read.
I've been feeling fine lately and just chilling and reading and playing games, but man, the longer car ride to the bookstore and then the standing up for a while showed me that I do still need to be off work and I am still recovering.
Am home now and will rest and chill.
Also I got three things at the bookstore!
A collection of Dungeon Crawler Carl pins, which I need to find something to put the "Mongo is appalled!" pin on.
Monk and Robot by Becky Chambers. I saw the description about robots wandering off on their own and then one coming back to talk to a monk and I had to get it. Read the first couple pages at the store and I like them.
Caste by Isabel Wilkerson. The spousal person said he'd read it and it was good and I've seen some people mention it online.
Also the newest book by a girl I went to Duke's TIP program with, Karen Russell, was there. Looked at her author pic. She doesn't look like a teenager now. ;)
Bookstores have changed since the olden days. There was a lot more fantasy romance and isekai type stuff and it seems like kdrama style plots are now popular for books in general. I also saw a good amount of non-het romance, which yay for that.
There was also a vinyl and CD section and yes, I know I don't look like a teenager anymore either.
