Some days ago, a neighbor invited me over because she was donating books that belonged to her husband, who died from covid during the pandemic. There were a lot of books, and even by choosing only the ones which caught my attention, I was able to get over 100 different books.

It was the first donation I have ever received and I got really happy about it. I am already halfway through The Shining, which was in the collection. So it got me thinking about donation itself.

What about your experiences with it? And I am asking about donation of things, not money.

      I do. The first thing that caught my attention when she invited me over were the photos with Stephen King books on them, I got five of them. I have never read horror before, and I am loving it (It even made me read a published manual on the rules of Roque, just to know what the hell it really were).

      Actually I never saw the movie either, by choosing not to until now. So I am going in completely clean and having no idea how the story actually ends. I will watch it only once I have finished the book.
