Went scuba diving ✔️
Came home to my second SK book having been delivered! ✔️
This one is the first one on my list, so I can officially dive in and have bought enough of them to keep going until like spring/summer now since I‘m committed to one SK a month until they‘re all checked off the list!!
Red Wings victory! ✔️
All in all a pretty solid Saturday!
First SK book mail delivery of 2026 made it to me today!!
It was free, too!!
Mercari gift card exchange credits FTW!!!
Now I wish I got more gift cards to places I won‘t use!!
😂🤣
Four more on the way…
Can I get the last few on my list before my birthday at the end of February?!?
LMFG!
I think Arnie is completely lost now; he‘s incapable of seeing what Christine is doing to him. #audiowalk
pickExcellent as ever from Mr. King. Excited to travel through this series.
There are a lot of really vicious bullies in King‘s work; Buddy is no different. This is a world that‘s so foreign to me. #audiowalk
It had been warming up a bit; now it‘s getting chilly and rainy. Christine is beginning to show signs of becoming a problem for Arnie‘s friends. #audiowalk
so-soIn turns a fever dream and a slog, this is by no means the worse King I‘ve read. Long sections were pretty entertaining. Super icky body horror.
Next up in Chronological King is Lisey‘s Story. I recall that the first time I tried to read this, I DNF‘d because there was some self-harming that I find nearly impossible to read without feeling faint. But so far, nothing. Did I misremember? If not, can someone give me a heads up on when I need to be alert?
pickPeople call this book terrifying, but with its narrative structure and multiple points of view (after the fact), it never felt creepy. It felt much more like a cable documentary. Still, I had to get to the end, knowing Carrie‘s point of view. I think King wanted us to empathize with Carrie, only to remind us in the end that we‘re just another one of the bullies who viewed her as a freak-show as we rushed to the end of this thriller.
