Dolores Claiborne | Stephen King
Pickpick

This novel is set in Maine. I listened to the audiobook. Having grown up in NH, I liked the narrator as she sounded like “home” to me. Dolores Claiborne was quite the character. I found her to be a strong woman and mother of three. Dolores was the housekeeper for Vera Donovan who was very wealthy. Death happens and sometimes there are suspicions concerning them. This story is no exception. 4.5/5⭐️

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! 1mo

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. 1mo
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. 1mo
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! 1mo

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! 1mo
shortsarahrose Shawshank Redemption is one I definitely need to read still (I‘ve seen the movie, though!) 1mo
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. 1mo
Mirazzles I loved this audiobook! 1mo

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.

Sneaking in one last title for 2024…another recommended by my 10 year old King-loving son.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Happy New Year, friends!

Bag Of Bones: A Novel | Stephen King

Pickpick

It was no spirit-guided wind blowing passed me that gave me chills and goosebumps, rather it was the outstanding narrative concocted by King. This novel about a small town paying a price for the sins of its fathers drew me in because of my genuine care and concerted belief in the protagonist‘s goodness. I post this review at this wee hour of the night because I couldn‘t put it down.

Is this one of King‘s best books? I‘ll tap once as my answer.
