BookwormAHN I listened to the audio version and in the intro King was clearly not happy about the movie version. I was wondering if anyone has seen it and what were their thoughts on it. I really enjoyed the book. 6y
DGRachel @BookwormAHN I didn‘t even realize there was a movie based on the book. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I‘m also curious if King has liked any of the adaptations. I know he hated a lot of the earlier films, especially The Shining. 6y
Karkar @BookwormAHN I did not realize it was a movie either. 😮 6y
Readingismyescape @BookwormAHN I watched the movie after I read the book. It‘s completely different. In the movie Richards was a soldier who disobeyed orders, escaped prison, then was recaptured and “encouraged “ (read: forced) into being part of the game. Also, the hunters looking for him were cartoonish characters with gimmicks that he easily “got rid of” (read: killed). 6y
Readingismyescape I listened to the audio version and was annoyed that the intro revealed the end of the book. ☹️ 6y
Readingismyescape Also, in the movie there are three other contestants running at the same time. That Schwarzenegger has to save (when he can). 6y
Readingismyescape I enjoyed the book. I can see a similar premise in many of the popular ya dystopian books of the past couple of years. The book‘s ending was quite abrupt which I had forgotten about. It‘s kind of jarring. 6y
BookwormAHN @Readingismyescape I was also annoyed that the ending was revealed and how abrupt it was. 6y
Readingismyescape @BookwormAHN Right? Why reveal the ending in the prologue. At least include a spoiler warning. 🙄 6y

JulAnna 😊I mixed up the months. I read this one already and am waiting for my copy of Cujo to come in the mail! Duh! 😂 6y

DGRachel @JulAnna No worries! You‘re all set to comment when we have discussion and you can always go back to the Cujo discussion at any time! 6y
SconsinBookyBadger A couple weeks late, but I finally made it to the library to check it out! 😄 6y
SexyCajun Wait March 18th for discussion? 6y
SexyCajun Oh it says it started in February. Whoops 6y
DGRachel @SexyCajun Yes - each book has a month to be read before I post the discussion thread. I know it can be a bit confusing, but I don‘t know how else to phrase the posts and I‘m using the template developed by the original host. We‘ll discuss this one next week and reading starts for a graphic novel & The Gunslinger 3/19. I give a reminder for the following month‘s read in case people need time to obtain a copy. 6y
SexyCajun @DGRachel The Bachman Books. I'm confused on why some explanations say it's someone else's work. 6y
DGRachel @SexyCajun Whose explanations say they‘re someone else‘s work? My understanding is that Richard Bachman was a pen name used by Stephen King. They‘ve even republished a lot of those books with King‘s name on the cover to sell more copies. Now, I‘m going to have to go Google...😂 6y
SexyCajun @DGRachel ok I must've misunderstood or just flat out didn't know!!! Actually I did NOT know that he ever used a pen name!! Son that explains it😳😳😳 6y

Misery | Stephen King
post image

This weekend past I took part in the #24in48 readathon. I managed just over 16 hours of reading, which was pretty reasonable since I was sick. I loved my tbr stack and made it through 3 books, Misery, The Running Man and Final Girls (which was thrown in at the last minute).

bbackes Hahaha Sometimes this kind of thing happens! Enjoy the new books! 7y
Tamra I did, earlier this week & today. 😬 7y
mcipher Love this picture!! @ruskigurl16 I'm usually all about the library, too. But Litsy is a bad influence and I've bought (used) books three times this week. 7y
Aaronlisa Me. I have given up on trying to ban myself from buying books. The only time it works for me is when I am saving up to go to a particular book store a few cities away from where I live. This photo is great by the way. 7y
Caroline2 Love the photo! I'm a huge Gilmores fan! I broke my book buying ban to get Ready Player One too if it's any consolation! 😆 7y
JaclynW New books! 😍 Nice picture!! 7y
CoffeeCatsBooks Yeah, I had a book buying ban for last two months but bought about 30 books each month. Book buying bans seem to backfire for me. 📖❤️ (edited) 7y
Zelma You picked some good ones. Ready Player One is quite fun and Hate List was very good. 7y

It's a #GilmoreGirls kind of day.

I'm stuck in my #library #bookhaul & every time I step foot inside their walls I find another that I MUST read. These are my past, current & future reads!
.

Last night I almost broke my book buying ban! @holden_beerfield posted about #therunningman & I almost bought it. Thankfully my husband suggested I look at the library first.

Happy #saturdaymorning & #threedayweekend

What are you reading?
