Reading The First Law series, the first book is called The Blade Itself. Genre is fantasy which I don’t usually get into but have really enjoyed these books.

I went to the mall earlier, half the stores were closed. But the bookstore itself was open and had about 20+ people waiting in a line to get in.

So yes, they still exist.

I'm not really a fan of the band, but read that book years ago. It was pretty good. Also The Heroin Diaries and Slash were good as well.

If looking for fiction Dean Koontz and Harlan Coben.

Cheesy to say given this forum, but Arnold Schwarzenegger's autobiography is an amazing book. It gives a pretty detailed account of his political career.

KJV is such a bish to read though. I like the New International Version, written for a 3rd grade reading level so it's right at my pace.
