Welcome to Litsy!

When the Shining plays at the theater on Halloween, you go and see it! #scarathlon2021 #teamhendrix @StayCurious @Clwojick

My gosh, this was so great. Jack Torrence‘s descent into madness is terrifying and so are the gigantic hedge animals. Danny Torrence is a great character, far more interesting in the book vs the movie. Fantastic backstories in here that we never see on screen. A haunted hotel, alcoholism, and cabin fever are a terrible combination. Y‘all are right, Stephen King really must be the best.

Up next in my #readingStephenKing project: Night Shift!!

I grew up on The Shining movie. I‘ve seen it a billion times. So I‘m blown away by the differences in the book, just how much more to the story there is in almost every way. I should have expected this, but I still can‘t get over how much bigger the book is.

I‘m reading it slow, taking it all in. #readingStephenKing

What did I think of the book? Well, it was hesitant. In the process of reading it, it seemed too progressive.

I‘m finally starting The Shining!! Very excited!!

#readingStephenKing #FabulousFebruary

I have seen the movie but never read the book. Here we go!

#bookspin #doublespin #bookspinbingo

I disregarded all bedtimes and stay up until 3AM to finish The Shining. A very good book and much different than the movie. (But I couldn‘t get Jack‘s voice out of my head 😂) This was also my #doublespin book! And it‘s my January pick for #posedbythebook (mountain pose) with @AkashaVampie

#MotivationalMonday

I forgot to post this yesterday so we will call this #IforgotitwasMonday. Thanks for the tag @Mrs_B

1. Finish The Greatest Secret and move my bookcase back where it belongs.
2. I love to read in bed. It‘s so comfy and cozy.
3. I don‘t think there is a character similar to me.

#BFC21

My goals for February 2021. I‘m looking forward to a new month and new challenges.

#BFC21

This month went okay. I completed my first goal, and I‘m working on goal two. The mountain pose is relatively easy. The Shining is really good so far.

February 2021 #bookspin

The Shining means I can't go into a maze without feeling something creep across my soul.

4/5 - I really enjoyed it! I couldn‘t believe how different this was from the movie

“So dark! I love reading this novel when the snow is coming down outside and the weather's too bad to leave home.“

“There was no way of knowing what else might be out in the night, slinking hungrily through the shadows, watching and scenting the breeze.“

“When a child says he's seen a troll in his bedroom or a vampire outside the window, we simply smile indulgently.“

1. The Shining (it was my first horror book & there‘s a callback in the Dark Tower series that links them, my favorite King series. Yes my way of cheating & answering twice)

2. Roland/Flagg

I could go on & on ... so many great books/protagonists and he writes some of my favorite antagonists. The Crimson King, Pennywise, the Overlook 😁

1. Read a book from my #bookspin list - focus on books I own and then make the hard decision to keep or rehome

2. Learn and master the mountain yoga pose as part of a book challenge - read The Shining (resort is in the mountains) and focus on tarot for spirituality

Thank you so much @wanderinglynn for hosting this challenge again. This 2021 I really want to focus on my health and soul. This challenge will help a lot.

#12ColorsofChristmas #WinterGames2020 #ReadNoseReindeer

My super shiny silver copy of The Shining

And that‘s my Christmas #bookspin done! This book is always frightfully creepy and a dear favorite. It never ceases to give me the heebie jeebies. I wonder what Christmas at the Overlook would be like? 🤔
+31 for #teamreadnosedreindeer and #wintergames

A full weekend of quarantine = time to read as many books as possible. Good idea or bad idea to start the tagged? 🤔 Anyone up for a #keephannahsane Readathon this weekend? 😂😂

I can‘t believe how different this was from the movie! I‘ve watched the movie so many times but this was my first time reading it and I loved it!! Very creepy and of course well written.

Jack Torrance is the first #writer that comes to mind for today‘s prompt. One of my favorite Stephen King novels!

#ForeverNovember

.

A full list of titles for this months #bookspinbingo. This one has lots of audio, a couple of classics, and more. Can‘t wait to get started and see what I get for my #bookspin and #doublespin!!

October had only one bingo, not as good as last month. I struggled with some of the books on my list. I had 2 DNF‘s on here, and 2 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reads. I am adding more audio to next months list. #bookspinbingo

I haven‘t read that many of King‘s books, but this one might be my favorite so far or very near the top of the list. I don‘t agree with Joey that this is a freezer book though. It is definitely creepy, but I wasn‘t ever really terrified.

I‘m also very pleased that I did not remember Joey spoiling the ending for Rachel in that Friends episode!!

#Screamathon #BookspinBingo

Didn‘t quite finish my last spooky read in October, but still a great read while enjoying a perfect beachy November 1.

Finishing up the horror marathon with The shining. Also watched 3 episodes of People Magazine Investigates and 2 episodes of medical detectives.

Nothing quite like a good book to keep you company while you code you life away. Got a solid 12 hours of listening in today and with #littenlisten #screamathon and #creaturefeaturathon that‘s an additional 360 pts for #teamharkness! @StayCurious

3 days until Halloween! All work and no play means it's time to watch a movie! Is there an obscure horror movie you think is great that you'd recommend? (Always looking for suggestions.)

The Shining is one of my favorite of Stephen King‘s books. I love Jack‘s descent into madness, caused by the ghosts of the Overlook Hotel. This time around I decided to give the audiobook a go, my only complaint about Campbell Scott‘s narration is that he mispronounces Estes Park, he pronounces it Estees with a long e, versus the short e for an es sound. Still a great listen though. #Scarathlon2020 #TeamHarkness #AuthorAMonth #Screamathon +16 pts

#TeamHarkness this is the final game for #Scarathlon2020! Have fun! First book to get us started: The Shining by Stephen King - and go!
