King writing about a political clown goofing his way into office spelling certain disaster, decades before Drumpf disgraced the White House. I hated James Franco as narrator; he sounds either hung over or bored for the majority of the audio. It was a well constructed story, though, with lots of foreshadowing and good payoff. #losersclub #constantreader

vivastory This one is still on my King TBR, but the adaptation is one of my favorites. Speaking of topical King, how appropriate that we're getting a new adaptation of The Running Man this year? ☠ 5h
Susanita I read this many years ago and couldn‘t put it down. 3h
AnnCrystal @vivastory I read a concerning news story yesterday about a possible new reality series,

“A television reality show concept is under consideration at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) where immigrants would compete for U.S. citizenship through a series of challenges.“

Running Man was one of the stories that I compared this to... along with Hunger Games...

Disturbing and terrifying.

AnnCrystal P.S. never actually watched/read The Running Man or the Hunger Games...maybe the running man movie when I was a kid... 3h
vivastory @AnnCrystal If I told you I was surprised...I'd be lying. The following is from 3 months ago:

vivastory @AnnCrystal I'm a major King fan, but TRN is one of his books I haven't read. I also haven't read any HG books. I', planning on remedying BOTH in the next couple of months. 2h

This book was gripping from the start! I wish the ending was less open ended but it was still definitely worth the read 😁

Oh man.. what a story! I‘m really enjoying all these creepy classics lately 📚 This was long but held my interest throughout. I‘m happy I listened to it as an audiobook tho 😅

May selection for the IRL Constant Readers Book Club. It‘s a re-read for me. I had forgotten quite a bit about the story, so I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting it. It boasts incredibly likable characters and a unique perspective on the concept of author pen names. It seamlessly weaves together classic horror elements that King is renowned for, while also enduring the test of time.

Had to bail, the opening was so bleak, I tried skimming forward a bit but I‘m still dreading reading on. Plus SK has been an idiot online this week 😂 wouldn‘t be a deal breaker but it‘s certainly not helping. As @dabbe says #hailthebail ! I‘ll check in with #losersclub & see what I missed @BarkingMadRead

BarkingMadRead This is a super dark book! I totally get it 1w
dabbe YES! 🤩 #betterbooksahead 🙌🏻 1w

Short #audiowalk today because of the potential for rain, so I didn‘t get much listening in.

‘A high school show-and-tell session explodes into a nightmare of evil...‘

Read this in January for the #LosersClub.

Starts with a shooting then turns into something that reminds me of a twisted version of The Breakfast Club. Great writing. Strange twist.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The overwhelming crowds make a visit to The Stanley rather underwhelming 🤷🏻‍♀️

bookandbedandtea Why are there always sooooo many people in Estes?? 2w
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea Omg, it was horrible!! The West's equivalent to summer in The Hamptons 😂😂 Saturday there wasn't a parking spot to be found in town. So glad that was when we chose to visit Rocky Mountain state park!! 2w
bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau Weekends in Estes are generally hideous (I assume as I haven't been there in years- see hideousness!) but RMSP is a delight. Maybe I'll suggest to the hubby that it's time for a visit... if we can bear to drive through Estes! 2w

TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea As we have discovered!! 😤 RMSP is breath taking, at least the 3 miles of it that we hiked 😂 Unfortunately Estes is a main access point so 🤷🏻‍♀️ Have you ever been to Tahosa Coffee House on the way to Estes? 2w
bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau I'm glad you enjoyed your time at RMSP! About 3 years ago we did the Bear Lake Loop (easy "hiking" being my speed ?) which was wonderful and gorgeous but the crowds chased us out when we tried to wander through Estes itself. I don't believe I've ever been to Tahosa Coffee House. 2w
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea If you'd been, you'd remember! It's an absolutely beautiful stone building that shares property with the Chapel on the Rock. And the views of Longs Peak are just 😍😍There's a stations of the cross hike that we didn't get to do bc we spent 3 hours just taking pictures and staring at the views. Has a very alpine village feel to it. 2w
