Welcome to Litsy!

Just a reminder that August‘s #LosersClub read is #cujo Put your library holds in now, search your shelves, or buy a new copy, and check back on or about august 1st, when we begin reading this one. Discussion will be at the end of the month! #StephenKing #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader #ReadAlong #BuddyRead #BookDiscussion

Mostly mediocre short stories cobbled together by the publisher from other sources (magazines, etc). King provides an Introduction and Notes with some insights on many of the stories. The novella anchor, The Mist, has a great premise--a bunch of acquaintances from a seasonal summer town are trapped together in a grocery store while *something* outside gets closer and closer--but completely fails to deliver.

I‘m not really loving Roadwork, but I will finish it. It was warm today, but there was such a nice breeze by the bay that I was able to walk outside. #audiowalk #LosersClub

Ep. 3 📺🪡🧵✂️

The focus was squarely on the villain and the violence he perpetrates which was reminiscent of the very worst of true crime. The adolescent shock talk and wink-wink, nudge-nudge references to his other creations and pop culture was just annoying. The plot was decent. This just isn‘t for me.

So good! My #doublespin for July @TheAromaofBooks

I‘m wining and dining with Stephen King. Give me the red door! 🚪🔴

Today's 'scratched my brain just right' sentence. 💙

The second book of the Dark Tower series, The Drawing of the Three, is a well written story with an imaginative plot. I am glad I didn‘t stop at the first book! Roland puts together his “fellowship of the Dark Tower”, an unusual group of misfits from different times and places.

My current read. I'm working my way through the series. I hear it gets better after noon three. 🤞🏻
