Welcome to Litsy!

I really, REALLY enjoyed this - a definite slow burner, the intensity built up over the course of the story, but the depiction of the lads' descent into themselves as pain, misery and eventual insanity overcame them was just brilliant. I feel like I walked every step of the way with them. The ambiguous and rather rushed ending has left me feeling a little deflated though. Hence 4🌟, as opposed to 5.

Reading ahead for #losersclub2018 —- trying to pull myself out of a book slump 🤓

My July books read - not a whopper of a month but there were 4 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 reads - two of which will rival for my best book of the year (The Song of Achilles and Circe, both by Madeline Miller). Also started The Stand (Stephen King) for #losersclub2018, and The Clockmaker's Daughter (Kate Morton), both of which will be finished off during August.

Making slow but steady process through this expanded edition for #losersclub2018
Currently on page 337 of 1325 so not too far to go 😂😂
But my god, it's such a weight. Not conducive to reading for a prolonged period of time. I'll probably have repetitive strain injury by the time I'm finished.

Re-read for #losersclub2018
One of my all time favorite books. One of the reasons that I like SK so much is that one can always tell that he is an avid, appreciative reader. In his writing you find gems like this “time to sit and have a good long conversation with a book” and “and some of the books were old friends”. 💕📚😊

Frannie, Stu, Larry, Nick—I feel as though I am visiting with old friends 😊💕 #losersclub2018

I must apologise that I'm only just getting around to posting your books for #whodunituk and #lmpbc.
I put them back on my shelf and promptly forgot about them 😫😫
They're in the post today so expect them in a couple of days

Thought I had read this before but I don't recognise any of the stories. Having said that, I'm LOVING reading it for the first time. These short stories definitely up the 'spooky/creepy' ante. One in particular made my flesh crawl this afternoon (I Am The Doorway).

An enjoyable read 😊 If you like continuity and no spoilers, be sure to read the Mr Mercedes trilogy before you read this. One of the characters from those books shows up in The Outsider and tells some backstory from the trilogy. However, this is great on its own! It was nice to read some new SK while reading old SK for #losersclub2018 🤓
