Insomnia | Stephen King

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! 4d

Dolores Claiborne | Stephen King

pick

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. 4d

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. 4d

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! 4d

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! 4d

shortsarahrose Shawshank Redemption is one I definitely need to read still (I‘ve seen the movie, though!) 4d

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. 4d

LoverOfLearning @KathyWheeler thank you :) 4d

Mirazzles I loved this audiobook! 4d

Henry V: The Astonishing Triumph of England's Greatest Warrior King | Dan Jones

This is my first time doing a Reading Bracket. It's harder than I thought to get the pic of the book just right. Anyway, Henry V was by far my favorite of January. I always learn new things when I read a Dan Jones book.

BethM That was so freaking hard for me that I printed it and wrote my answers in each month 😂 doing the same thing this time 🙃 3w

RamsFan1963 @BethM I might switch to that method, I'll see how it goes 3w

Meshell1313 Ooh I can‘t wait to read that one! I recommend PicCollage app for the perfect alignment! ❤️ 3w

jitteryjane724 No hope for me there! I'd have mine on a whiteboard or something 😆 3w

Henry V: The Astonishing Triumph of England's Greatest Warrior King | Dan Jones

pick

I finished this audio history book a few days ago. Dan Jones writes the most lively books! This one completes his Medieval English history trilogy and connects The Plantagenets and The Wars of the Roses. I wish Dan Jones narrated more books because he‘s so engaging to listen to! Highly recommend!!

RamsFan1963 Yes I enjoyed Jones narration of Henry V more than I've liked John Curless's narration on The War of The Roses. 1mo

bibliothecarivs I recently found a like-new hardback copy of Henry V for only $5 at a local charity shop! I really enjoyed Jones' Summer of Blood (paperback) and Plantagenets (audiobook), although the narration of the latter by Clive Chafer was boring. 1mo

Henry V: The Astonishing Triumph of England's Greatest Warrior King | Dan Jones

pick

05/100 Dan Jones never fails to entertain and educate. If you want to understand English History this is the author to read. Like Mary Beard with Roman History, Jones work is full of details, from major events like the Battle of Agincourt to seemingly minor things that had a big impact of Henry before he became King. Henry V was a complex man, full of contradictions, he was pious and religious, but he was also cruel, easily angered, and vengeful.

RamsFan1963 I think what raises this above the average biography of Henry V, is the time Jones spends on him when he's still the Prince of Wales. We see how events in Wales, and Scotland, shaped Henry's personality, how Richard II and Henry V reigns played a big part in how Henry V chose to rule his kingdom. 5 🌟 read 1mo

Amiable I received this as my #jolabokaflodswap gift —so glad to hear that it‘s good! 1mo

Cuilin Looking forward to this one. 1mo

Henry V: The Astonishing Triumph of England's Greatest Warrior King | Dan Jones

This was a Christmas present that I bought for myself. I wanted to wait until the new year before diving in. Dan Jones is one of my favorite history writers.

TrishB I have this one ready too 👍🏻 2mo
