pickRead for #losersclub @BarkingMadRead
An iconic King novel.
My first time reading this one, it was good. I thought it would be more like Carrie, but it has a wider reach as far as Charley‘s backstory and the conspiracy surrounding those that are seeking to stop/control her.
pickThis book had very ‘Stranger Things‘ vibes and that‘s why I wanted to read it. A secret compound where gifted children are kidnapped, held hostage and abused. What could go wrong? A screen adaptation is coming soon!
I will definitely be reading the tagged book and whatever summery titles I can fit in with this over 1000 pager. #BookSpinBingo
Just a reminder that July‘s #LosersClub read is #roadwork Put your library holds in now, search your shelves, or buy a new copy, and check back on or about July 1st, when we begin reading this one. Discussion will be at the end of the month! #StephenKing #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader #ReadAlong #BuddyRead #BookDiscussion
It came to him (and with the force of a revelation) that life was basically one long SAT test, and instead of four or five choices, you got dozens. Including shit like some of the time and maybe so, maybe not.
Her name was Marjorie Kellerman, and she ran the Brunswick library. She also belonged to something called the Southeastern Library Association. Which, she said, had no money because “Trump and his cronies took it all back. They understand culture no more than a donkey understands algebra.”
(Much love to SK for always taking trash about this orange nazi fuck). ⭐️
pickI still like Firestarter. What‘s weird though is that I always forget how it ends. It does hit a bit differently with what‘s going on with the government now. Given how awful Rainbird was, I feel that his fate was a little glossed over. #audiowalk #LosersClub
I haven‘t read any of these other books. The only book I‘ve read from this list was the tagged book The Shining and I enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the movie. There‘s also a sequel to this book called Doctor Sleep where Danny is all grown up and there‘s also a movie adaptation of that book. I liked the sequel too and the movie adaptation for the sequel was good too but I still like The Shining better.
