Cold Days (The Dresden Files, #14) | Jim Butcher

My #BookSpin list for February is full of books from my TBR, with the exception of Night Shift by Stephen King, which is the #LosersClub book of the month. I will be getting it from the library since I don't already own it. All of the other books will qualify for my #ShelfLove reading challenge and many of them will qualify for the #2025OffMyShelf prompts as well. I picked mostly shorter books since February is usually not a good month for me.

Night Shift | Stephen King

Just a reminder that February‘s #LosersClub read is #nightshift Put your library holds in now, search your shelves, or buy a new copy, and check back on or about February 1st, when we begin reading this one.

The Shining | Stephen King

Started #losersclub over lunch @BarkingMadRead

BarkingMadRead I have that same copy! 6d

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Lunch looks yummy! 6d

ShelleyBooksie That looks so good 6d

5feet.of.fury @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @ShelleyBooksie it was pretty dang good! The iced mango green tea was delicious too. @BarkingMadRead Awesome! there are so many versions of this one! I read Doctor Sleep with your group but I‘ve actually never read this, though I was traumatized at a young age by both adaptations 😂 6d

BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury it‘s so crazy how different these feel as an adult, I read a lot of these as a teenager 6d

Salem's Lot | Stephen King

so-so

3✨It took me a long time to get in this one. The kids dying was the hardest for me to get through. I lost track of all the characters, but the overall plot was good. #LosersClub @BarkingMadRead #DoubleBookSpin @TheAromaofBooks

BarkingMadRead I hate when kids die in books, especially when it feels unnecessary. 1w

Roary47 @BarkingMadRead I was especially upset with the baby that was being abused. The mom trying to make him okay and feed him pudding. Most memorable sad moment. 1w

5feet.of.fury @Roary47 the baby was so upsetting 😭 1w

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!!! 4d

The Shining | Stephen King

Ok #losersclub I watched the miniseries of the Shining with Rebecca DeMornay and Steven Weber and it‘s way more accurate than the original. I still like the original better, but this was really good! #stephenking #kingfromthebeginning #booktomovie

Bookwormjillk Where did you find it? 2w

BarkingMadRead @Bookwormjillk I rented it on Amazon prime, I think it was $4? It took us two nights to watch it 2w

5feet.of.fury I like the miniseries, it is more psychological. Kubrick‘s version is just so good (no matter what SK thinks 😂😅) 2w

Doctor Sleep: A Novel | Stephen King

pick

I re-read Doctor Sleep by Stephen King, which is the January selection for our Constant Reader book club. I first read it in 2013, so it was like reading it for the first time. I had forgotten so much, and I had no idea how the story was going to end. I seldom re-read books, but being part of this book club has required me to change that behavior. I‘m discovering that I enjoy re-reading books.

Full review at abookandadog.com/blog/doctor-sleep

DimeryRene Yes! I love a reread! It‘s always like reading it anew for me. Things just fall out of my brain, so I hardly remember too much. 3w

Reggie I thought it was so cool that he references Charlie Manx from his son‘s book Nos4ATU in here. Their universes overlap. Very cute. 3w

NatalieR @DimeryRene Same here! I think I forget more than I remember. 😆 3w

NatalieR @Reggie That was pretty awesome! 😎 3w

TieDyeDude Nice! We are reading The Shining for #losersclub; it's my first time reading it. I'm interested in reading Doctor Sleep this year as well, and checking out the movie, which I've been avoiding since I know there are significant differences between The Shining movie and book, and Dr Sleep is more in line with the book. 3w

NatalieR @TieDyeDude It‘s probably good you haven‘t seen The Shining movie yet. 😅 There are few similarities to the book. I‘ll be curious about your thoughts. I hope you enjoy both books. 📕 3w
