It‘s getting chilly again. I had to wear a jacket for the first part of my walk. It‘s been a long time since I read The Body, and I‘m not sure how much I remember is from the movie. I cannot picture these kids as anyone other than the actors who played them. It was jarring, though, to hear Gordie say, “F**k the World Trade Center” given 9/11, which hadn‘t happened when this story was written. #audiowalk

Today I started The Body — the second novella in this collection to be made into an excellent movie, Stand By Me. (The Apt Pupil movie was just okay.) There‘s one of adult Gordie‘s short stories inserted into the story so far, and I didn‘t remember that at all. Not sure of the necessity of it. #audiowalk

I‘ve been adding to this stack all week so it‘s a hot mess, but here it is! #bookspin #bookspinbingo @TheAromaofBooks

Nobody does psychology better than King who keeps you on the edge of your seat as you wander with a missing little girl in a forest. She finds a way to believe she‘ll survive, battling her own psyche in the process. In a new twist, King works to charm the reader with this sweet little girl who loves baseball.

Just a reminder that December‘s #LosersClub read is #Christine Put your library holds in now, search your shelves, or buy a new copy, and check back on or about Dec 1st when we begin reading this one. Discussion will be at the end of the month! #StephenKing #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader #ReadAlong #BuddyRead #BookDiscussion

Whoa! I completely forgot that, in Apt Pupil, we learn about Todd‘s nature almost immediately instead of having a slow buildup. #audiowalk

The second of 2 redeeming things from some social plans that my bus screwed the pooch on tonight…

That makes 4 SK books scored at a discount for the journey I‘ll be taking myself on through some reads of my dad‘s favorite author in his honor and eventually in his memory.

I‘m not sure if I‘ll be able to purchase any more that are on the list until next month, but now I just want to keep going on this mission!!

Thought I would continue to post when I get new SK book mail and let you know when the ones you recommended to me make their way into my mailbox and into my book collection!!

“Under The Dome” and “Duma Key” are still on their way through the mail to me!!

Finally got this after some issues with Amazon. Still have no clue what happened to my original copy! #losersclub
