No pictures or map from my #audiowalk. It was in the gym and boring. I had forgotten how much I hate the Shop in Firestarter. Government agencies with bad intentions also hit a bit different now. New little baby that my daughter found and brought home when he barely had opened his eyes yet. His name is Moxy, and he‘s doing well now. We weren‘t sure at first if he‘d be okay. #LosersClub
It‘s been a long time since I read this; my copy has the original white cover with fire partially covering a little girl‘s face. As with most King books for #LosersClub, if I‘ve read it in print before, I‘m using the audio for this reread. So far I‘m liking the narrator. #audiowalk
so-soI had heard it but never believed it. I mean I‘ve read at least 20 of his books. But when I hear people say he coulda cut 200 pages about one SK‘s books, I thought they were outta their minds. I loved the first 200 pages. Pages 200-450, what a slog. But in the end I cried. That emotion does not erase that snooze fest of a middle. A young man finds a portal to another world and sets out on an adventure with his dog. Hurts my heart to do this-meh.
Today we had training on an update to one of our systems and this guy was one of the trainers. When he got up he asked if we had any questions. I asked if anybody had ever told him he looks like Stephen King. He said all the time. The photo does his likeness no justice. In person for a minute I thought Stephen had Schwarzeneggered Chloe. He looks like Joe. Fairy Tale is my bookclub book for this Friday, so it all felt serendipitous. He was so nice
The completely elusive Misery in Flipback Book format. This format was UK Publishings answer to portable reading in 2011, then the Kindle happened and killed it off.
Been searching for this for 10 years and never seen one for sale on Ebay until now. And the price was so much less than what I expected to pay.
Number One Fan is very very happy 😊
We had to make a pit stop in Bangor to see Stephen King's old house. Rumor has it that most of It was written here, which checks out especially when you turn the corner and see the massive Paul Bunyan statue...
Perfectly reasonable reaction to the loss of good oatmeal cookies and you know death 😅
