Just back from a preview screening of this! So good. Very much not the film you expect it to be.
I‘m pretty sure I read the book in my pre-teens. My parents would let me watch and read anything I wanted. Guess that‘s why I turned out to be heathen vegan pinko

LoverOfLearning A heathen vegan pinko! Ha I lol'd at that! Good for you. I've not read the book. Maybe one day! now

Sorta sad about this one. I know it‘s a beloved book by many. I‘ll rank it “Pick” but had a rather hard time with it.

First being, boy howdy there‘s some dark material here. My bigger problem is with Stephen King: animal death, particularly in his early work. I know what he‘s thinking—he‘ll make a character bad by killing the animal—a cheaper thrill than immediately harming a human.

David the hawk. The intelligent mindlessly sacrificed bird.

Soscha How dare?! I‘ve got thing for birds. I won‘t lecture here but humans need to do better by birds, “pet” birds. They are living descendants of dinosaurs and if life were fair they‘d be taking some CHOMPS against us. 🦖 21h

1. Hopeful-ish. As long as elon doesn‘t keep my tax refund I‘ll be able to pay off a lot of debt which will relieve a lot of stress for me.
2. Sleeping? What‘s sleeping? It‘s has been the worst, I‘ve had better.
3. Don‘t eat sugar after 8, don‘t drink caffeine or coffee after 3. LOL both things I ignore on a regular basis. Reading helps to calm the brain to sleep.

Kerrbearlib Crossing my fingers for you with the tax refund! I‘ve also found I sleep better when I don‘t drink caffeine in the evening. I also try avoiding big meals/snacks later in the evening. I don‘t always succeed though 😆 Thanks for sharing! 2d

Duma Key: A Novel | Stephen King

It only took me 16 years to get around to reading this!
The premise is a bit silly, but as usual, King creates a compelling story with fully fleshed out characters.

LoverOfLearning Just started my third SK book. Read the first two (Misery and Dolores Claiborne) within the last few months. Currently listening to Shawshake 2d
LoverOfLearning Oops Shawshank Redemption on audio. It's heavy. I'm guessing the movie is better? 2d
bookaholic1 @LoverOfLearning the movie is awesome, but in the book there is always more 1d
DavidDiamond @LoverOfLearning It's been awhile since I read the short story, but the movie is excellent. One of the better King adaptations. 1d

Dolores Claiborne | Stephen King

I devoured this audiobook. Dolores is such a wild and humorous character, she definitely had me hooked the entire time. I couldn't turn it off. I got nothing else done. This is only my 2nd ever Stephen King novel. The first was Misery. This one I enjoyed more. :)

What SK should I read next?

shortsarahrose I loved this book, especially on audio. If you‘re ok with horror, I also really enjoyed Pet Semetary. It‘s one of the creepiest books I‘ve read (well, listened to - audio is also great for this one), but it has good character development like Dolores Claiborne. 2d
KathyWheeler A much later Stephen King book that isn‘t really horror and is great on audio is 11/22/63. The hero goes back in time to try to stop the assassination of John F. Kennedy. 2d
LoverOfLearning @KathyWheeler so funny you say that! I just thrifted 11/22/63 for free in perfect condition! Ha! It would be cool to do a tandem read with the book and audio! Soon! 2d

LoverOfLearning @shortsarahrose I'm listening to Shawshank Redemption now on audio. Just started it because it's short. I'll look for this audio too! I know it's a favorite of many! 2d
shortsarahrose Shawshank Redemption is one I definitely need to read still (I‘ve seen the movie, though!) 2d
KathyWheeler @LoverOfLearning I‘ve both read and listened to many of his books. This was one where I‘ve done both. I hope you enjoy it. 2d
Mirazzles I loved this audiobook! 2d
LoverOfLearning @Mirazzles it really is! 🤣 1d

This is our February selection for the Constant Reader book club. I‘ve watched the original 1983 movie adaptation multiple times and first read the book in 2015 as an audiobook. This time, I decided to read my physical copy. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it again and liked it better the second time.

Soscha Is Constant Readers a local or online club? Just curious, behind one indeed! 4d
LoverOfLearning Finally read my first ever Steven King bookm Started with Misery was pretty good! Any recommendations for my next read by him? 4d

NatalieR @LoverOfLearning Misery was my first King book too! 😃 Glad you liked it. The Shining is one of my favorites. 3d
Soscha An online King Constant Reader group is doing the second Dark Tower book. I‘ve not read the first yet though. 😓 3d
sarahbarnes I liked this one too when I read it. He has some really good ones. 2d
LoverOfLearning @NatalieR that's funny! 💯 love that. That's a long book huh! Maybe I'll read it ! 2d
NatalieR @Soscha The Dark Tower series is quite a commitment. The first book was tough for me to get through. The rest were really good though. 2d
NatalieR @LoverOfLearning It‘s not too long. It‘s engaging and suspenseful. 🤓 2d
Soscha I read the Dead Zone some time ago. It‘s logged on my Goodreads but I didn‘t leave a written review. Is this the one with an insane POTUS candidate? Damn good but way too close to reality at this point in history, if I may say. 2d
NatalieR @Soscha 😅 Yep, that‘s it! While reading it, I kept thinking how It‘s VERY close to our reality. 2d

Ready to mark another off my Stephen King list! I‘m almost half way done with this book and I‘m loving it. Great story telling. This will be my 41st King book.

Starting this one tonight @BarkingMadRead - here‘s my #boringkindlecover

I figure I‘ll read a short story or two in between other things throughout the month. I thought I had read this as a teen, but maybe not. We‘ll see.

BarkingMadRead I‘m reading one a day, I forgot how twisted some of these were! 2w

Fairy Tale | Stephen King

Another good read by Stephen King. Really enjoyed the relationships between Charlie, his father, Mr Bowditch and, of course, sweet Radar. The story moves easily between this world and another more magical world. Like any good fairy tale, there is good and evil, heroes and villains. This book is an enjoyable, easy to read, page turner.
