The Shining (The Shining #1) | Stephen King

pick

I haven‘t read that many of King‘s books, but this one might be my favorite so far or very near the top of the list. I don‘t agree with Joey that this is a freezer book though. It is definitely creepy, but I wasn‘t ever really terrified.

I‘m also very pleased that I did not remember Joey spoiling the ending for Rachel in that Friends episode!!

Lisey's Story: A Novel | Stephen Book

pan

Mare Winningham's audio narration was FANTASTIC but I'm glad this smucking book is over! Listening to Lisey's Story for 19 hours on CD over the last two weeks means I had a lot of time to think about this. It was too long. Parts of this book felt unimportant to the ultimate story and others were repetitive to the point where I was hoping for some clown to emerge from the sewer in an unexpected crossover to take out every last one of them. ⬇️

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Lisey is boring. Her sisters are boring. Zero scares, and the most thrilling part was a scene with a can opener! And worst of all, there were so many words and phrases that are like inside jokes/family phrases that are supposed to take you into their specific story but really just grated my nerves into a parmesan-like substance. Among the grating are smucking (in lieu of it's rhyming F word), bool (still couldn't 100% explain WTF it is), ⬇️ 4y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick parents referred to as Goodma & Dandy, and most annoying, is this famous writer can't call the blanket an afghan, but an African. The only vaguely supernatural thing about this is the place Lisey's husband has taken her at times, a bit like The Upside-Down of you're a Stranger Things fan, called Booya Moon. I'm just not sentimental enough for this sort of self-indulgent story. At least there are beaucoup team points for this one. ⬇️ 4y

'Salem's Lot | Stephen King

pick

I remember seeing the made for TV movie of the late 70s of Salem‘s Lot and being thoroughly engrossed and rooting for the vampire hunters as a small child. Thankfully finally reading the book as an adult, the book did not disappoint. Although a bit long winded, (17 1/2 hrs on audio), I loved this book and can‘t believe it took me so long to read it. #AuthorAMonth #AAMSK #LittensDressedinBlood
