Just started this and I‘m already intrigued! #stephenking #constantreader

October #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks 🎃🎃🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

A group of small town women meet weekly to eat good food, confess their sins, and support each other. This was a good, heartwarming story. The dialogue felt real, such as how the ladies often interrupted each other during their confessions. The only downside was that I found one of the main story lines to be a little unbelievable. Even so, I enjoyed this book and would definitely read more by this author.

Yep, that‘s true. I look up every time. 🌧

The glacial landscape reminded her … Sometimes you want to go back and re-read a paragraph just to let it fully sink in. I love it when that happens.

#bookspin for September 😊📚 @TheAromaofBooks

Rita Hayworth & Shawshank Redemption was my favorite, but all four stories intrigued me. Overall, I prefer his full-length novels for various reasons, but this collection of novellas is still very much a pick. Recommended! My #bookspin for August. 📚

I sometimes hesitate to read a book with all sorts of rave reviews. I think it makes me expect too much. But this story kept me on the edge of my seat for three days. It would‘ve been one day, but life got in the way (you know, eating and sleeping). As for the ending, you may guess part of it, but you won‘t guess all. A good story that reminded me a little of Hatter Fox. A few similarities there.

Pretty sure my cat has read this book. #litsyhumor

It‘s hard to read bc I used blue ink instead of black, but here is my #bookspin list for August. Can‘t wait to get started this month! @TheAromaofBooks

A family takes one last vacation before the oldest child heads off to college. Problem is, oldest child disappears on said vacation. This suspenseful read focuses on how each family member copes with grief and while the overall tone of the book was depressing, in the end I was moved by this story. If you like a more character-driven thriller, this book is for you!

I needed a break from thrillers and my son offered his beat-up copy of a book he had to read in high school. So far, I am enjoying this new-to-me author and loving this bittersweet story. 🧡

My very small #stephenking collection. Just finished Four Past Midnight and really enjoyed it, but #thestand will always be my favorite!

My last minute #bookspin list for September. 😍📚 @TheAromaofBooks

Happy September! Hope everyone is having a nice day. I‘m still enjoying the Four Past Midnight collection. I wanted to read in my backyard, but it‘s still way too hot! ☀️📚☀️

I was going through some old books, deciding which ones I wanted to trade in for credit. Knowing this one was a keeper, I put it back on my shelf, but something fell out. It was an old postcard my mom had sent me while on a business trip to Iowa. I guess I tucked it away and forgot about it. So glad I didn‘t trade it!

I don‘t know if I‘m completely sold on the existence of ghosts, but who really knows? I do enjoy reading about them - that‘s for sure! I was very intrigued by Leslie Rule‘s well-researched stories and I never had the sense that anything was being exaggerated. The photos were an added bonus.

There was something irritatingly self-centered about the cat, Coraline decided. As if it were, in its opinion, the only thing in any world or place that could possibly be of any importance.

Of the four novellas in this book, I chose to read “The Library Policeman” first because the title appealed to me. It was good in the beginning, even humorous at times. But it soon took a dark turn. Too dark for me. If I were to rate the book on this story alone, it might be a thumbs down. But I‘ll keep reading. After all, it‘s Stephen King. It has to be good. 📚
