The Silkworm | Robert Galbraith

pick

Bk1 of #JumpStart2025 & January is done! Bk2 of the Strike series, it‘s honestly one of the goriest murders I‘ve ever read. And I‘ve read a LOT. The author has definitely proved they can write well in two completely different genres! And is able to spring a surprise murderer on you at the end. #FourFoursIn25 #RobinBobbin #ISpyBingo #FictionalTraveler #Read2025 #WickedWords #Rage #SeriesLove2025 #BookspinBingo #BookChain2025 #TBRTarot #ReadYourKobo

AllDebooks I had to bail on this, too much for me, along with The Long Walk! 😱 4d

BarkingMadRead @AllDebooks it was a lot, and knowing that he pulled it from the shelves added a little weight! 4d

Karkar What always surprises me about this one every time I read it is back when he wrote it school shootings were not a thing. But you would think from this book he wrote it today. 4d

5feet.of.fury Yeah, that was nuts. I can see why he pulled it after Columbine (and the continued epidemic of school shootings) with the way Charlie is presented in the end/showing the impact on the hostages as positive. 4d

BookwormAHN @5feet.of.fury That always bothered me too. It was almost cult leaderish. 4d

5feet.of.fury @BookwormAHN agree! Cult leader is what came into my mind, too. 4d

Rage | Stephen King, Richard Bachman

This month‘s book is #Rage Grab your copy and check back at the end of the month for open discussion! Don‘t forget to tag me so I can see which version you have! #LosersClub #StephenKing #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader #ReadAlong #BuddyRead

5feet.of.fury I found a link on Reddit where you can read the full book online which I would never officially advocate for, but I know this one is hard to find. So, just putting it out there. Happy googling to those impacted (edited) 1mo

BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury I feel like if you could buy the book but read it that way, that would be like taking money from the author. But if the book isn‘t available for sale 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1mo

5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead yeah, I‘m gonna hit up a couple of the used bookstores near me (on the off chance they don‘t know what they have, because wow those prices) but it‘s my backup plan. King has alot of my money 😂 I‘ll sleep ok this once haha 1mo

JenlovesJT47 You can also download it for free here, since it is unavailable for sale: https://annas-archive.org/md5/47f228955fd87588ff9965f1e5cc92cb 1mo

TieDyeDude @5feet.of.fury @barkingmadread King has specifically let “Rage“ go out-of-print, so read it wherever you can find it with a clear conscience! https://screenrant.com/stephen-king-rage-book-out-print-controversy-explained/ (edited) 1mo

BarkingMadRead @TieDyeDude yes, that is correct 1mo

ImperfectCJ I know my mom has a copy of The Bachman Books, but she's 2000 miles away and not at all keen on splitting up her King collection, even temporarily. I'm probably skipping this one for now, although it would be interesting to read again with the context of a few decades. 1mo

BookwormAHN Is this the one that was banned? 1mo

BarkingMadRead @BookwormAHN King actually banned it himself. I didn‘t realize that. It‘s not available for sale anymore, I‘m not sure if libraries carry it. 1mo

BookwormAHN I found a copy years ago of a similar book like yours with it. 1mo

BarkingMadRead @BookwormAHN I checked Amazon, and this book only has 3 books in it now 1mo

BookwormAHN They have them on ebay starting at around $50 and I found mine on alibris for around that price back when this first started. 1mo

Fortifiedbybooks I won't be able to participate this month, The book isn't for sale (other than costly collectibles) and my library doesn't have the individual title or the collection. 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Fortifiedbybooks so sorry! I had no idea when I made the schedule 🙈 King fan fail 1mo

Fortifiedbybooks @BarkingMadRead that's ok! Honestly, this will give me the month to catch up on some other reading challenges I'm participating in! 😂 1mo

BarkingMadRead @Fortifiedbybooks #silverlining 1mo

MatchlessMarie It‘s available on internet archive. I‘m not sure of the ethics of that seeing that it‘s out of print but… 🫣 1mo

The Collected Poems of Dylan Thomas | Dylan Thomas

#PoetryMatters @TheSpineView
#Rage

This poem is probably the most famous of Dylan's work. Short but powerful about fighting against death until the very end.

PageShifter Powerful indeed 3y

TheSpineView @PageShifter 👍🤩😊 3y
