Welcome to Litsy!

A book held long in the wings, but worth the wait. ⭐⭐⭐⭐

"You f*cking self-righteous turd worm!" ??

Well, that's one heck of an insult! ?

Years ago I was about 12 hours into this #audiobook when major life changes distracted me from finishing. So here I am at the beginning, again. Hopefully there will be no distractions this go round because I'm very eager to see how things play out!! (I've successfully avoided all spoilers for all these years, so...) 😁

Thanks for the tag @TieDyeDude

📖 I'm not a big mystery reader, but when a giant dome appears over a town people want to know where the hell it came from.

This book has always felt to me like King took the wanton destruction of Castle Rock and its inhabitants seen in Needful Things and cranked it to 11. While entertaining, this remains a tough read. People you love will die in cruel and senseless fashion, and they will do so throughout. The main and supporting cast are well-written and (mostly) likeable, but that ultimately makes this a very tense read as you dread their possible end. 5/5

I usually don't mind 1000 pages long Stephen King novel but I was really struggeling with the last 100 pages. But it worth it and He is very excellent to write about ordinary people and how easy to manipulate them.

Another great birthday gift❣️

I enjoyed the TV show and loved the book! My Amazon Book Wishlist has sooo many King books!

I love the jacket art.

I‘m happy to add this book to my collection & can‘t wait to re-re-re-read it. 🎉

The premise and the plot, and scene setting, are great, but then it gets a bit waylaid and the ending is a bit weak. Also, he seems to have an odd way of writing about women and non-white people.

My 21st King read 👍🏼

Just finished this game.

Yes, Your Grace.

Was really enjoyable and fast paced, acting as a king with a kingdom in turmoil.

Been a bit absent for the last 6 months or so due to being pregnant and having a small gang of wildlings to look after!

8 months pregnant and hoping to start being more present and posting again!

Here‘s our little gang and me at a ninja obstacle course last weekend! @TheNeverendingTBR 🖤

Why is this book over 1000 pages?? Guess I'll be here a while

Just started reading and wow, so much stuff happening already, I'm so excited 😂💚

Done and ready for #losersclub
Honestly, for 1000+ pages and 100 characters it‘s easy to follow and straight forward plot wise. I watched the show for a bit when it was on, but never got to the resolution (no idea if it follows the book). It‘s quite a whirlwind!

So meta. 😂 #losersclub

Forecast for today was clear and dry. Here in southern Illinois we seldom get snow this early. Think they dropped the ball this time! I‘m going to spend today in front of a fire catching up on Under the Dome, which is a chunkster but moves quickly!

Trying to make it before #LosersClub
There‘s so many people in this book. Every person in the town gets a backstory.

Here is my November list -

Make a great day everyone -🍂

Here is the cover for my tagged book -
Starting it late for #LosersClub @BarkingMadRun - have read it before but don't remember much, I did enjoy it though, so hoping it is as good as I remember and I can get into it - it is a chunkster!

Make a great day everyone🎃

🎧📚 I loved this TV show!

The book was a great story & now I want to watch the series again!

An invisible dome comes down on a rural farm town. And typical of King, here comes the most horrible human beings possible!

Great mystery & fun to watch how quickly a town falls apart & the insane take over. So many characters! A bit science-y for King.

Some gruesome bits which make it a good fall read. There are some triggers so beware.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️3/4

#LosersClub #chunkster
1074 pages 🤪

Y‘all, I never realized how big this #chunkster was, it was the first book I ever bought with my Nook! Don‘t drop this on your foot! Tag me in your copy, I‘m. It sure how many different covers there are! #losersclub #stephenkinginorder #youcouldkillyourneighborwiththisbook #oryourspousewhentheysayyouhavetoomanybooks #illbailyouout #loserssticktogether

Hey #losersclub it‘s time to order those books for our next #buddyread on October 19th we start Under the Dome, and discussion will begin on November 18th. This is a #chunkster so prepare yourself!  #StephenKing #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader #ReadAlong #BuddyRead #BookDiscussion

Damn, SK… don‘t let up AT ALL on the tension and misery. 😬

I feel like 17 hours of my last four days have been spent in the dome with this poor, abused cast of characters. Just when I thought the situation for the inhabitants of Chester‘s Mill couldn‘t get any more dire, King thought of something worse.

Great writing, some really excellent characters, a story that I could not quit… all the things I‘ve come to expect from this guy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I think reading about a town suddenly stuck under a mysterious dome was just a little too claustrophobic and 2020 for me because I did not enjoy this one very much. I do appreciate how much research King puts into the details of his books though.

Finishing this was my #20in4 goal. Glad I got it done!

Did some audio cooking this morning to this chunkster. Usually I aim to finish four books on a Readathon weekend, but if I can just finish this one I‘ll be happy #20in4

Campus bookshelf isn‘t quite as glorious as the two at home, but my shrine has quite the set up here.

Been reading under the dome while smoking and can say that it makes a way better experience

We‘re getting to the end of the alphabet! Went with a Stephen King classic for this one!

“‘The workman is worthy of his hire,‘” Big Jim said in a pedantic but kindly tone. “Matthew ten-ten.” He neglected to cite the previous verse: Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses.

Spent some time at the local church book sale this morning 😁

I browsed, drank coffee and just generally enjoyed a good hour of my day for the first time in a long time.

Good thing I only brought one bag with me....there were SOOO many books!

Not pictured: the pile of children's books the boy already took off with 🤣

#BookHaul #MeTime

I loved it up until the ending. The ending was disappointing to me. It felt rushed and half baked, like he just got tired of writing and said, “Oh, screw it.” Will I keep reading his books? Absolutely. I wouldn‘t put up with this from any other author, but Stephen King is the exception. I‘ve been reading his books since I was eleven years old, and I doubt I‘ll stop now.
