The Stand | Stephen King

Just reached the part that will always make me scared of the Lincoln Tunnel. #IYKYK #LosersClub #KingFromBeginning #ITakeTheBridge

BarkingMadRead

TrishB Yeah, I‘ve never been near the Lincoln Tunnel and am not even on the same continent- but it put me off. 4d

TieDyeDude Iconic scene. Such a mindscrew! They handled it really well in the comic adaptation, too. 4d

Bookwormjillk @TrishB @TieDyeDude I don‘t get scared by books easily but that scene- shivers. 4d

Fridays | Andrew Johns

#5joysfriday it‘s been a glorious week of nothing much thanks to March Break. 1. I finished Mona and hung her in my bedroom ( a little gallery wall moment is happening) 2. John and I went out to dinner Wednesday to a new place in the ‘hood ( no pics) and breakfast on Thursday to an old place 3. I had a massage, got my haircut and my nails done and walked to a McDonald‘s for a fountain Diet Coke because I could 4. It was 11° C yesterday

AmyG Mona Lisa looks great! 1w

mcctrish so I dragged the lounger onto to the deck to read on ( today it‘s going to 18° ?) 5. So much reading time is happening - on my kindle, audio and print #livingmybestlife laughing out loud with #hashtagbrigade daily makes my life “dead ladies can‘t do crimes” #iykyk ???????? 1w

mcctrish @AmyG I am so happy with her 1w

willaful Could you take me off the tag list please? I'd really like to read it with you but I just don't seem to be doing it. :-( 3w

BarkingMadRead @willaful absolutely 3w

ElizaMarie Percy is lower than a dog! That doggie not liking him is a #RedFlag and just #AlllTheMoney IF she dies? Hmm... are we setting up for some future murder? Or is my mind just dark/gutter? And -- Why does she have to marry #RightBefore she is of age? Like if she was of age, would she have been able to make the will work? 3w

BarkingMadRead @ElizaMarie that‘s exactly what I thought! He‘s twice her age, obviously he will be the first to go, unless…. 3w

mcctrish The fact he wants to marry her before she‘s 21 is a red flag! Wait 3 months and she can do her own will without that stupid #unclesmellingsalts having any say! Also Aunt Eleanor and her Count were giving me brief Udolpho vibes #iykyk 🤣🤣 she needs to put Marian in a legal document #percypig is going to run her out of town aka #lockherup 3w

Bklover @mcctrish Next thing you know Marian will suddenly be in an asylum. Soon following will be Laura. #percypigisanass 3w

mcctrish @Bklover #thewritingisonthewall 3w

Bookwormjillk I felt like Uncle Crabby in his room yesterday. Every time I tried to read this section someone would talk to me. My nerves! All caught up now and you all said what I was thinking. I‘m loving reading about the same events from different points of view. 3w

Clare-Dragonfly I appreciate how Collins drums in that Percy is a jerk and not to be trusted. As though we didn‘t all hate him already, the dog can‘t stand him. Dogs know! Do you think Collins was getting paid by the word like Dickens? That last section was a whole lot of words to say “he gets all her money if she dies first” 😂 And even if he doesn‘t have nefarious plans… this book is still in a high maternal mortality era. 3w

Clare-Dragonfly @mcctrish Udolpho vibes yes 😂 3w

mcctrish @Clare-Dragonfly I love our ‘inside vibes‘ connections #bestgroupever #trustthedog 3w

BarkingMadRead @Clare-Dragonfly 💯 Gilmore was like, let me just explain this last bit real quick, and then it took like 5 pages. Sir. 3w

Clare-Dragonfly I forgot to mention, I have serious doubts that uneducated Mrs. Catherick really wrote that “yeah Percy is cool with me” letter. 😒 I wish we were reading this more slowly—so much happens in each day‘s section that I can‘t remember it all, let alone have time to discuss it! 3w

julieclair Whew! Lots going on 3w

julieclair #trustthedog for sure. And what's with #unclesmellingsalts allowing this ridiculous inheritance business? 3w

Leftcoastzen Always #trustthedog could Gilmore make it any more obvious to #unclesmellingsalts ? Lost in his own little world to the perils of his family 2w

willaful Man, what a depressing chapter. I hope Esther is going to get some help but I kind of doubt it. :-\ 1mo

BarkingMadRead @willaful I‘m worried that she will think she doesn‘t need it 1mo

Deblovestoread Mrs. Kravitz! 1mo

Clare-Dragonfly @BarkingMadRead Same! Or that the shrink will be terrible… 1mo

Bookwormjillk I‘m with you all hoping she gets the help she needs. 1mo

tpixie @Deblovestoread 😝 @BarkingMadRead Mrs Kravitz!!! 🧙 I LOVED Bewitched 1mo

willaful @Clare-Dragonfly I think it's almost guaranteed that the shrink will be terrible. 😞 1mo

Deblovestoread I loved Bewitched, too! @tpixie I was glad the family doc didn‘t just throw more pills at her. Hopefully her referral is a good one! 1mo

dabbe Esther has never had anything below an “A“ in her life. She wins contests, too. Not getting into the summer class was her complete undoing. I'm almost scared now to read more.

BTW, do they live in a house in Boston? If so, why do the mom and Esther share the same bedroom? Or am I wrong in that assumption? 1mo

TheAromaofBooks Waaaaaayy too casual about eating raw hamburger + raw egg 😂 1mo

ElizaMarie Buddy !!! #RunForYourLifeNurse !! Hopefully he doesn't seduce that poor nurse who he “falls in love“ with. I mean. poor girl to be sucked into him! I am #proud Ester put her foot down with that one! 1mo

julieclair @mcctrish Maybe the Lark Rose vibe was why Esther got on my last nerve in this chapter! 😂. But then I reached the end of the chapter and felt guilty about her getting on my nerves. She does need someone who can help her. I do hope the psychiatrist turns out to be a good one. But I'm fearful 1mo

I watched this movie last week (Tom Hanks, #iykyk) & cried as hard as I've cried at a movie in some time. I didn't know it was based on a graphic novel until the credits rolled, & I immediately ordered it. The premise is brilliant - the "camera" stays in one place for the entirety, as we jump back & forth through time, often with multiple years in different, overlapping panes on the same page. Almost no words. So good.

Et Tu, Babe | Mark Leyner

so-so

Well… that was something. I have no idea how it landed on my book shelf (but a receipt tucked inside showed that I bought it in 2015).
Definitely felt like a product of its time (the 90s) and maybe had I read it 20 years ago I‘d have been more into it.
It was just ‘meh‘ for me BUT I do get where he was going which …

Snowfall: A Slashes in the Snow Prequel | M. Never

Didn't get anywhere the predicted amounts, right here at least #iykyk

Shoveling done and onto coffee and book time ☺️☕️📖

dabbe It's still so beautiful--even though you had to do some hard work. 🩶🤍🖤 2mo

marleed You are lucky - we got the high-end predicted. It‘s pretty but maybe a bit too cute for all the danger it‘s brought to the roads. 2mo

TheBookgeekFrau @dabbe It's like a powdered sugar coating on the world 😊 Luckily, it was cold enough that the snow wasn't wet and heavy so the work was easy compared to other times! 2mo

TheBookgeekFrau @marleed Yeah, I've seen some horror stories on the news about travel 😔 Hopefully you get to stay home with a good book🙏🏼 2mo

DogMomIrene You are a very neat shoveler! 2mo

TheBookgeekFrau @DogMomIrene 😂 Thank you! I've been conditioned by 33 years of marriage to a snow freak who is particular in the ways of snow shoveling 🤣🤣 Plus, there wasn't a whole lot so it made it easy to be neat! 2mo

DogMomIrene @TheBookgeekFrau 😂😂😂 I‘m living with snow again after years in Arizona, so I‘ve been honing my technique. Snow that‘s not too wet is definitely my preference. But it‘s still a good workout! 2mo

TheBookgeekFrau @DogMomIrene The technique for early winter is to remove the snow far away from the driveway leaving room for future piles. And as much as I want to roll my eyes at my husband, I have to admit he's right 😂 2mo

DogMomIrene @TheBookgeekFrau Oh wow! You definitely get more snow than we do if you‘re having to plan that far in advance. I totally see how that removal style would be necessary, even if a pain in the early winter. 2mo

TheBookgeekFrau @DogMomIrene Nah, we don't get a lot. It's just his one fuss-pot area as compared to my dozen so I can indulge him 🤣 2mo

mcctrish I have to say I share Laura‘s decor style, every summer I decorated the inside of outhouse at the cottage with pictures from magazines my aunt got from her friend who worked for Air Canada. Every summer had a theme- once it was food, once flowers, once each wall a different colour. The pig running away mid kill made me laugh out loud 3mo
