Getting ready for my first trip to Maine…
I didn‘t know what books had an eclipse in them because I haven‘t read any. I searched on Wikipedia and it said this,”Gerald's Game and Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King (1992) depict the solar eclipse of July 20, 1963.” They both sound interesting so I just tagged 1 of them. I haven‘t read either of these books but they‘re both on my Goodreads TBR. I‘ve read a few of his books and I‘ve enjoyed them.

I read this with a book club years ago. Though not what I normally choose on my own, I enjoyed it. #SundayFunday @BookmarkTavern
“Master storyteller Stephen King (writing as Richard Bachman) presents this gripping and remarkable New York Times bestselling crime novel about a damaged young man who embarks on an ill-advised kidnapping plot—a work as taut and riveting as anything he has ever written.”
Charlie the Choo-Choo will not add anything new to fans' understanding of the Dark Tower cycle. It contains no juicy new bits of story and, in the way of text, absolutely nothing you'll already have read elsewhere. Having said that, the illustrations are a lovely realization of how they are depicted in the Dark Tower series, and it's a nice little piece of King ephemera to have. 4/5
1. Nope. It was a WHOLE thing though 🤣 apparently, I‘ve never been told the WHOLE STORY….

As I started reading From a Buick 8 by Stephen King, I couldn‘t keep my mind from thinking about one of his earliest novels, Christine. These novels turn out to be quite different from one another. The Buick 8 is also a creepy and bizarre piece of machinery that only King can create.

I‘m doing a pop-up book club at the library for the eclipse in April. Where I live, we are in the path of totality so it‘s going to be pretty cool.
What better book to celebrate an eclipse than Dolores Claiborne, lol #IYKYK

Scarier than King meant in the late nineties…
This book was definitely worth reading even after seeing the movie. There is a lot of detail and it is such a psychological experience of what goes through Jessie‘s mind while she is trapped with no way out and the thoughts of survival and fear that she goes through. Even though I knew how it would end, I was still in suspense through the whole book. Definitely a book that will stay with me.
