pickIt was no spirit-guided wind blowing passed me that gave me chills and goosebumps, rather it was the outstanding narrative concocted by King. This novel about a small town paying a price for the sins of its fathers drew me in because of my genuine care and concerted belief in the protagonist‘s goodness. I post this review at this wee hour of the night because I couldn‘t put it down.
Is this one of King‘s best books? I‘ll tap once as my answer.
What a wonderful #Jolabokaflodswap package from @Jess ! The book from my wishlist AND a bonus book from my TBR! Plus a pile of chocolate and a beautiful bookmark. Thank you so much, Jess! Happiest of holidays to you and your family. 🙂 And much gratitude and holiday joy to @MaleficentBookDragon for organizing. 😘
One of the many benefits of having a Little Free Library is occasionally going out to add a few books and finding a new to you book on the shelf. I love Stephen King, but I've never read any of his Bachman books, so I brought this one inside with me to check out.

pickI have never seen the movie and am so glad I finally read/listened to this book! Classic King horror…it‘s just so twisted and creepy! And it got me a #bingo for #bookspinbingo and #hauntedshelf #deadserious
bailedI gave it the good ole college try… but when the thought that you only have so many audiobook hours and this is wasting them… there‘s no going back. As per my usual feelings with King… this just dragged on too long.
I know it‘s also an old book but there should also be trigger warnings… because it‘s almost vulgar detail. The audio also had weird chime noises that would happen mid sentence… it just got annoying.
Another spooky fail.

pickThis was a pretty interesting novel from King. Dolores is being interviewed/interrogated by police; the entire book is her telling her story, no chapter breaks. Of course there is plenty of tension and a few gross-out or violent moments, but overall I found Dolores to be endearing and her story to be somewhat empowering.
