Hipsy's View: Blogs from my Bookstore


If you have read my blogs recently (as of last year), you know that when I am not working my regular job, I work at a bookstore. While though I am one of the toys/miscellaneous buyers, my passion still resolves around books, history, and mythology. Beginning last year, I was asked by the events manager if I could write a few blogs once in a while to post on the store's website. Now, I'm not the only one that writes for the blog, of course -- this is a state-chain store with six locations -- but if you would like to know why I do not post as much here as I would like to (jobs and distracting hobbies are time-consuming, as we all know), I have created a list below of all of the blogs I have written for my store, with links attached them to take you straight to the pages.

Oh, and if you get the chance and you want to explore the store's blog, check out some of the bloggers' posts. With the bookstore also being an entertainment trade store, we blog about everything to do with entertainment, be it books, movies, video games, local events, you name it! For now, thank you for being supportive readers and I hope you will enjoy these following blogs.



Note: Though I may have written these blogs, they were altered and edited by my event manager and the store's social media manager, to fit properly with the website. I still have my original copies, and if you would like me to post those, please let me know so I can check with my events manager (since I report to him) before posting them. Thank you for reading!

Hipsy's Blog from the Bookstore
You'll notice some months where there were no blogs. Those are months where I could not write due to my schedule with my other job, and then, of course, the COVID-19 quarantine months; at this time the store was closed for almost two months, and the social media pages were not posting anything but updates. I did have one written for February (Valentine's Day themed), but with many other great blogs being posted and the pandemic scare, it sadly did not get posted. I will check in with my manager, and if it is okay with him, i will post that blog here. Stay healthy and safe for now.

Hipsy's View: John Malkovich

This is my first view on an actor, and is more than likely not the last. John Malkovich, in my opinion, is one of the greatest actors known in today's entertainment society. Every character he brings to life is unique in its own way. One of my favorite characters Malkovich help bring to the movie screen was a character named Lenny. Lenny is a character from a book by John Steinbeck called Of Mice and Men . Lenny is mentally disabled, due to kick in the head by a horse when he was young. He's a big man who is more like child in his own way. In 1992, Malkovich starred in the the movie Of Mice and Men , along side with Gary Sinise (who also directed the movie). Just look at the video clip from the movie (the link after this paragraph) to see Malkovich's performance; those that have read the book may agree with me that his performance was great. http://movieclips.com/watch/of-mice-and-men-1992/lennies-dead-mouse/ One the thing I love about Malkovich's performances and ...

Hipsy's View: Matched

Well, today's the day I give you my very first review on a book I have read during my leisure time. I couldn't put it down, and though I had to begin classes today, I finished reading it within four days (which is like a record for me). So all of those of you that enjoyed Stephenie Meyer's The Host , I would certainly recommend that you read Ally Condie's Matched . Condie plans to write two more sequels to this novel, completing a trilogy by the end on 2012 (the second is rumored to be released November 2011, and the third on November 2012). As an avid reader myself, I must tell you, this book was GREAT!!!!!!!!  Growing up, I was always told two things about books:  One, never judge a book by it's cover, and two, never read the ending of book because you'll ruin the story and not be interested in it. Well, this may come as no surprise, but I usually break those two rules. It's habit for someone to judge a book by it's cover, plus I find it helpful to do...
