Welcome to Litsy!

#expandeddt completed ✅

This took me far longer than intended as I went on a lot of reading detours along the way but I‘m happy to have finally made it through. I finished up with the Dark Tower VII which just has so much going on but did have me in tears towards the end. 🥺
I thoroughly enjoyed tracking the connections thru so many books (if even loosely connected).

❤️Oy ❤️

Only 2 degrees might be a little cool for sitting outside reading, but the ☀️is shining so, we‘re going with it!

My 2nd read through book 6 of the DT series. I recall it being one of my least favourites of the series, and that opinion holds. It‘s not the whole book per se but I don‘t love the Susannah-Mia path. I did like the Roland-Eddie story line tho. Sooo... it is what it is I guess.

While I generally enjoyed the stories in this collection, I don‘t think they‘ll have a lasting effect. I‘ve just finished and already can‘t really recall specifics.
I read this for ‘Ur‘ for its relationship to the Dark Tower and my #expandeddt journey.

Other SK collections have left a stronger impression, but this one was ok.

I was hit and miss for my January #BFC21 goals (French reading was a little too much like homework 😬) so I‘m revising a little for February for some better focus.

Book goal: read down my #TBR lists starting with finishing up my #expandeddt #darktower journey. (I started in 2019 and am so close!) 📚

Finished up on a chilly morning this weekend ❄️

This sequel to The Talisman has a much closer connection to the #darktower series. I was a little slow getting into it, the omniscient narrator POV was kinda annoying... but that largely disappeared for most of the rest of the book, otherwise I liked it (gory details and all!)
Reading the broader #dt linked novels is offering a much deeper understanding of this multiverse. I ❤️ it!

Part memoir, part practical writing advice...this will inspire any would-be writer and entertain any Stephen King fan.

I‘ve been slow to the King party, but he‘s become a favourite of mine so it was interesting to peek behind the curtains .... especially the book lists he added to the end. I‘m always a sucker for a reading list and to see his was revealing.

Another one down in my #expandeddt reading. 🤗

I wasn‘t super stoked about this one (probably just because of my #bookishpeeve ... that I HATE movie tie in covers🤯).... buuuut, I really enjoyed it. Especially the first 2 stories. The Low Men details really provide some context for the Dark Tower series.

I‘m also really enjoying the reading-outside-with-a-blanket weather 😊

My second read through the #darktower series as I go through #expandeddt journey. I didn‘t read this the first time I read the series. There were a few fun little tidbits and the story was alright, but I guess I was hoping for a little more to the overall plot. This could be read as a little (certainly a short novel by SK standards!) stand alone story, but when reading the series you just want a little more.

This was my first Stephen King short story collection.

Read it for the 2 #darktower related stories - “Little Sisters of Eluria” and “Everything‘s Eventual” - for my #expandeddt journey but I enjoyed all of them! 🙂
