#creepy #booktober #octophotochallenge #allhallowsread #giveascarybook Both of these books, set in alternate realities of each other, are pretty freaking creepy. I love that the back of each book is a glimpse into the alternate reality. Creepy doll, stalking bird, spider, it's a recipe for a trip to creepyland. And King delivers in both books!

[DELETED] 3323341091 of the two books, which is your favorite? i really dig Desperation. 8y

LeanneAslin I was given these books as a kid - I took one look at the covers and never read them 😂 8y

TheNextBook @fern I'm going to go with you and say Desperation. The plot on that one was tad more coherent (Tak!) but I still thought the Regulators was good. @LeanneAslin Right?! It's crazy! But these are good. I thought it was cool of him to do the alternate storyline using his psuedonym. 8y

Not sure if he'd be considered a #madscientist exactly, maybe just obsessed? But he's who I thought of for today's #octophotochallenge @LibrarianRyan

DuckOfDoom Did you like the book? I read it a couple of years ago and thought it a bit weird and was not really happy with it, but I am thinking of giving it another chance 8y

JustTrish @DuckOfDoom I loved it but it did take awhile to get into. Mieville can be difficult it takes so much concentration just to figure out what the heck is going on! 8y

11/22/63: A Novel | Stephen King

#ilikebigbooks and I can not lie! When your favorite author is King of the doorstoppers (see what I did there) you tend to read some pretty damn big books! And you love every single bit of it! #octophotochallenge #booktober #giveascarybook #kingsbigbooks

GoldenGirl I completely loved 11/22/63 and devoured it in less than a week the first time I read it. Under the Dome, however, was a different story....of course, we'd been watching the show before I ever decided to pull it off my shelf and try to read it! 8y

Godmotherx5 Where's The Green Mile? 😉📚😉 8y

TheNextBook @GoldenGirl I read Under the Dome before it was a show and loved it. I couldn't even watch the show. They are so completely different. @Godmotherx5 I have it in serial! So it's the 6 smaller books, not as intimidating! I have the complete novel on my reader! 😜 I almost left out the Stand! 8y

Godmotherx5 @TheNextBook You're a good sport with my geeky humor. I couldn't watch Under the Dome either. 8y

Khanthulhu I couldn't believe how long the first day was in the book. What was it, a good third of the novel?! Despite that King still had the pedal to the metal. 8y

TheNextBook @Khanthulhu yes!! I think the entire book is less than a week! But the TV show took place over a much longer stretch of time! 8y

#wishIcouldbethere #octophotochallenge #booktober I want to go back! This was summer 2015! The weather was hot. The butterbeer was cold. I was extremely happy! I could live at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Good times.

moranadatter I hope to get there someday. 8y

TheNextBook @kmdartist you have to go! It is absolutely amazing. @LauraBrook can you tell how happy I was! I was ecstatic. That was our first time back since Diagon Alley opened. @Texreader I absolutely love it there. We lived in Orlando for a while and I went a few times then and then we went back in 2015. I could seriously live there. I would never be unhappy! 8y

Texreader @TheNextBook I can tell by the smile on your face!! It is an amazing theme park. And we love Marvel too so we got our dose of superheroes too!! 8y

TheNextBook @Texreader no one told me how the Incredible Hulk started the first time I rode it! ? Lost my mind! So much fun. That summer my son loved seeing all the Transformers. He "met" Optimus Prime and Megatron. 8y

Texreader Oh I forgot about the Transformers! My son loves them too. Universal just rocks. 🤗🤗🤗 8y

queerbookreader I HAVE THAT SHIRT you look so cute in it omg. I nearly lost my shit when I saw the Knight Bus when I went last year 8y

TheNextBook @Texreader I honestly need to just retire in Orlando! I love everything there. Disney and Universal just make me happy! @lemonlime799 Thanks! I love this shirt! I lost it when I walked into Diagon Alley. I needed a minute to adjust! 8y

BookishFeminist I love your shirt!!! I still need to make it down there. One of these days! 8y

TheNextBook @BookishFeminist um yes! You have to go. It is everything. I'm going to try and go before they try and stick Ilvermorny or Fantastic Beast stuff in there somehow. 8y

BookishFeminist @TheNextBook Oh good call!! Cause you know they will 😒 8y

TheNextBook @BookishFeminist yeah I'm not here for any of that as an addition. Fingers hopped it wont 8y

The Dark Tower VI: Song of Susannah: Song of Susannah | Stephen King

The moment when Stephen King demolishes the fourth wall and inserts himself as a character into the the Dark Tower series. It was a very surreal moment that caught me by surprise. Definitely didnt see that coming. #reallifeperson #booktober #octophotochallenge #onlyking #darktower

Maike What? I should move this series to the top of my tbr 🤓 8y

intothehallofbooks I'm reading the first book in this series now! My first Stephen King, so excited!! 👏🏻👏🏻 8y

TheNextBook @Maike yes! And the twist keep coming the entire series! @intothehallofbooks enjoy! If you like the first book you will love the rest of the series. I'm re-reading the entire series in December. Very excited to fall back in. 8y

So I dont do fanfiction but I did create my own Harry Potter character! Her name is Felicity Endura. My husband did the most boss thing ever and got me a Hogwarts Alumni ID made for my character! #felicityendura #harrypotteralumni #bestcharactername #myowncharacter #octophotochallenge #booktober 😂😂😂 I know. I'm a mess but that ID is everything. It even has my house! #gryffindor

Seekingtardis That is amazing!!! Hubby gets an A++ and a high five! 👏🏻 8y

Foxyfictionista This is adorable. I love that your husband is involved too. For me, this is true romance; indulging the one you love in whatever nerdy obsession they have without judging. My husband does it for me too and it makes my heart flutter! 😍 💘 💞 8y

rubyslippersreads What a lovely thing for your husband to do. Plus think of the magical discounts you can get with an ID like that. 😄💫🔮 8y

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix | J.K. Rowling

#bestcharactername Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore 1. Five names for some reason feels so fitting 2. The only traditional name is Brian 3. It only matters if you know the correct order in which you say his name. #APWBD #octophotochallenge #booktober

Lizpixie Great choice! My nan had four names, Betsy Rhoda Violet Payne, and when we were kids it was like a magic spell, say it four times and she'd appear kind of thing. I had a big imagination as a kid obviously.👵🏻 8y

TheNextBook @Lizpixie I love her name and yes it does sound like magic! Some names just flow off the tongue and sound like a melody. 8y

#greatfirstlines "The man in black fled across the desert and the Gunslinger followed." And it's also the beginning of an epic journey. #octophotochallenge #booktober #rereadindecember

BookmarkTavern My sister keeps telling me I should read this. I should probably listen to her. 😆 8y

Lizpixie Great minds hey. This is my choice too, how can you beat that line! 8y

TheNextBook @krysannethemums you need to go for it. This book is an amazing tone setter for the rest of the series! I tell people all the time to try this one and if they like this one they will love the series! @Lizpixie right?! I looked at my shelf, landed on this book and my reaction was simply "Duh!" Epic first line for the win! 8y

Star Wars Trilogy | George Lucas

#starwars #maytheforcebewithyou #husbandandson #litsyconfession I never watched the original 3 movies until I started dating my husband. We then bought all 3 and marathoned. My son and husband are on the same wavelength. I consider myself a casual fan. They could give you details about the planes. So this is for them. These are their books. #octophotochallenge #booktober

Christine I am the same as you re: my husband/two boys, though I have gotten more into it since Force Awakens, including reading and loving Bloodline and now having some knowledge they don't! 😆

Bloodline

TheNextBook @Christine ha! I enjoy the first 3 movies and Force Awakens but I watched the prequels that came out in 2000's and laughed my way through it! 8y
