21/23 I‘ve stayed up late finishing this one! I just couldn‘t put it down. I went into it completely cold after picking it up on a whim. I didn‘t realise it had originally been serialized and had no idea that would make it such a compulsive read. I loved the characters and it felt very contemporary considering it would now be considered historical fiction!! 5⭐️ This is my #booked2023 #featuringanonbinaryortranscharacter pick and also #192025 #1978

Librarybelle Hooray!! 2y

Magpiegem @CarolynM I feel really lucky! I also have The Night Listener sitting on my shelf from the same shopping trip. Xx 2y

The Garden of the Gods | Gerald Durrell

This is the last book in the Corfu trilogy and I‘m a little sad to say goodbye to the Durrells. They are quite the family.

Gerry is mostly focusing on his animals and his trips with Theodore. But there‘s also room for Larry and Larry‘s friends that suddenly drop in, Leslie, Margot and their mother. Their mother must be a saint to put up with them all.

Jerdencon I haven‘t read the books - but the show was excellent!! 2y
DivineDiana @Jerdencon Agree! The mother was a saint! 2y
AnneCecilie @DivineDiana @Jerdencon The show‘s amazing, but the books have even more episodes that happen 😊 imagine having a mother like that. (edited) 2y

Librarybelle Excellent! I‘ve seen some of the shows, and I have to agree that the mother has to be a saint! 2y

It's official. After 11 years in the suburbs, next month we are moving into the city of San Francisco. So it seems like the perfect time to finally pull this one down from #TBRMountain. #BirthdayChallenge #1978 #SanFrancisco

ValerieAndBooks Exciting times for you! Hope the move goes smoothly. 7y
ValerieAndBooks And I've enjoyed what I've read of this series so far. 7y
KVanRead @ValerieAndBooks Thank you! And good to know... really enjoying it so far. 7y

Another one down for the epic reread! I forgot how much I love this book. It's so dark and sad and enthralling. It's insane knowing that King wrote this when he was still in high school. *we are not worthy* In other news, I need a new copy of this book! It almost fell completely apart, but it held together and we finished The Long Walk together. #epicstephenkingreread #1978 #book7

Gayan King is everything' 7y
Hollie I fully intend to read this one this summer. The only King I've read so far is 7y

I don't normally like short stories. So I wasn't looking forward to this book. Surprisingly, I really enjoyed it. I must be maturing. Some of the stories had me cringing, which is not something I do easily. I don't know why I'm surprised. It's the King. #epicstephenkingreread #1978 #book5

Little_Reader I don't normally like short story collections either, but King does such an amazing job! 8y
Josie @Little_Reader I agree! I remember reading this when I was younger and just didn't enjoy it. And I obviously didn't retain any of the stories lol but I loved it this time around! Guess I just needed to age a bit to appreciate the art of the short story. 8y
TheNextBook I just bought this yesterday and it's the last book I needed!!! I'm so excited to get it! I'll post when I do. I finally started Different Seasons yesterday for #keepingitshort. 7y
IamIamIam This is one of my favorite short story collections period! 7y
