Confrontations | Simone Atangana Bekono
post image

We enter the library and it's quiet, in that lovely way I remember from the past, when Miriam and I went on Saturdays with Mum, and eventually on my own. First the reading desks and magazine racks, then the rows and rows of books. Children's books, thrillers, archaeology, translated books, English. I don't even know which titles I want to pick up.

This book ❤️❤️❤️ so many times while LLH was telling me her story I was saying “No No No” and almost in tears, or in actual tears while she told tme something else. This is a 5 ⭐️ book. What phenomenal perseverance she has and what an eye opening look at the justice system this is

I treated myself to the new iPad Air with the back pay the government owed me for freezing teacher wages ( they did nurses too and not fire and police - things that make you go hmm) I wanted it for Pinterest recipes and craft and cook books in my kindle. So now I have my book playing on my phone and recipes on my iPad #livingmybestlife these egg tortilla bakes were so good https://pin.it/2xZCH3z2y

This is probably one of my favorites by Stephen King. Some of the scenes in this book will stick in my head for the rest of my life and haunt me. This was such an excellent book and so underrated. I remember watching the movie when it came out and reading the book years ago but I am glad I revisited and read it again to remind myself of the story. Definitely one of my top favorites by him.

TieDyeDude This may have been the first King book I read. My mom had the original 6 volumes (which I stole when I moved out and still have), which made it a little less intimidating. 2mo
Victoriahoperose @TieDyeDude absolutely!! I completely agree. 2mo
ElizaMarie One of my favorites! How was the audio? I had read it in the original monthly novellas. But.. this is one I want to revisit. 2mo

Victoriahoperose @ElizaMarie absolutely 💯💯💯 recommend the audio. I felt like I was totally in it again. It was excellent. Highly recommend. 2mo
RaeLovesToRead Haven't read the book, but there is a scene in the film that was so powerfully upsetting that I can't watch it again 2mo
Victoriahoperose @RaeLovesToRead yes. That was hard and it‘s crazy because I was reading it and forgot about that part and then when it happened I felt so uneasy and upset by it, not gonna lie. It definitely got to me. Super disturbing. I didn‘t realize how much I forgot about until I was rereading it!! (edited) 2mo
