Open Trolley

Not too long ago, while searching for the book American Predator, I came upon opentrolley online bookstore.

Prior to this, I used to shop for books at (the now defunct) Book Depository (introduced by another blogger). I was very disappointed when Book Depository announced their closure.

Well, I was very pleased when I found opentrolley.

This is my second book delivery. The package was delivered by DHL.

Neatly packed in a cardboard box. Now the unboxing.

It's always very exciting unwrapping a delivery or even better if it is a present.

See how well the book is packed, as if it is fragile.

The book itself is also wrapped in bubble wrap.

This is Toxic Superfood by Sally K Norton. She is an expert on oxalates.

I want to learn more about oxalates. I believe I have eaten many vegetables that contain oxalates in the past.

I also ordered another book earlier to this one.

This was the first book I bought via opentrolley, American Predator, a true crime by Maureen Callahan. I became a Maureen Callahan fan after I watched her podcast The Nerve on Youtube.

After reading her book Ask Not : The Kennedys And The Women They Destroyed, I became even more of a fan. Hence the purchase of American Predator, her first book.

Two evenings ago I started on this book (after finishing my reading/re-reading of When I Was A Kid 1, 2 and 3 hee..hee..). Right from the first chapter, I was riveted. 

My evening ritual is to first listen to a podcast for say 30 minutes to 1 hour (if I cannot finish a long session, I stop and continue the next evening). Then I switch off my phone and read my book.

Reading helps me to wind down and get sleepy. Sometimes I find myself forcing myself to complete a chapter even when I my eyes can hardly open. LOL!

So I close my book, turn off the lights and snooze ......
