Bookwormjillk Okay so I‘m not the only one who had no clue who these people are? 4w
BarkingMadRead @mcctrish @Bookwormjillk I‘m low key pissed about this 🤣🤣 4w

Bookwormjillk @BarkingMadRead I mean I can‘t even keep it low key. I want to speak to a manager. 4w

TheAromaofBooks Apparently someone just needs to be in a creepy castle so since Emily is out for now, gotta find someone else to chuck into one 😂 4w
Clare-Dragonfly Emily is going back to the convent but Blanche (?) just left the convent so… are they going to meet? Why didn‘t they meet when Emily was at the convent burying her dad? 4w
Bklover Ummmm…who the hell are these people?!?! 3w
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks There‘s a creepy castle around every corner in this book. Somebody has to live in them! So the obvious answer is to introduce more characters. 🤓🤣 3w

BookwormAHN Is this the one that was banned? 1mo
BarkingMadRead @BookwormAHN King actually banned it himself. I didn‘t realize that. It‘s not available for sale anymore, I‘m not sure if libraries carry it. 1mo
BookwormAHN I found a copy years ago of a similar book like yours with it. 1mo
BarkingMadRead @BookwormAHN I checked Amazon, and this book only has 3 books in it now 1mo
BookwormAHN They have them on ebay starting at around $50 and I found mine on alibris for around that price back when this first started. 1mo
Fortifiedbybooks I won't be able to participate this month, The book isn't for sale (other than costly collectibles) and my library doesn't have the individual title or the collection. 1mo
BarkingMadRead @Fortifiedbybooks so sorry! I had no idea when I made the schedule 🙈 King fan fail 1mo
Fortifiedbybooks @BarkingMadRead that's ok! Honestly, this will give me the month to catch up on some other reading challenges I'm participating in! 😂 1mo
MatchlessMarie It‘s available on internet archive. I‘m not sure of the ethics of that seeing that it‘s out of print but… 🫣 1mo

TheAromaofBooks I have found it so interesting that these random short “nothing really happened“ chapters have been scattered throughout! Such an intriguing writing method. 1y

JUNE!!! I can‘t believe it‘ll be June next week! #bookspin and #doublespin list, though I‘m still playing catch-up for prior months. All in good time. At least I‘m in no short supply of titles to pick from! #silverlining

Bad News: woke up with a stomach flu on Thanksgiving
Good News: got to read since my husband, parents, and in-laws did the cooking while I rested #silverlining

BookNAround The getting to read part is good but the stomach bug, not so much. Hope you‘re better quickly. 3y

This book was just not for me. A few of the stories were okay, but overall, not my taste. Honestly, I should have bailed early on, but sometimes I can be stubborn about a book I really want to like!

On the plus side, it helped me knock out a prompt (#MustacheonCover) for #Booked2021! 😄

“Okay, boy. I believe you. Let‘s say we go have a look outside.”

Dude, NO! That‘s the last thing you should do. It‘s probably going to be the last thing you actually do!

#lmpbc @Reggie - If the dog dies, I will not forgive you. 🥺🥺

Reggie I‘m soooo sorry. But yeah, and the poor cows and the bull, too. BUT if it makes you feel better, after reading Tender is the Flesh last year I decided to stop eating meat and haven‘t eaten it or any animal products this whole month. #silverlining 4y
DGRachel @Reggie Thanks for the warning to avoid Tender is the Flesh! I hadn‘t reached details about the cows. I bailed at Bruno. 😭 4y

If I have to fly during a pandemic, and it‘s a full flight and I have a middle seat, and I just said goodbye last night to a dying grandparent...then YES I am taking that $40 upgrade to first class. #silverlining

LitStephanie Of course you should. ☹️ 4y
Cathythoughts Take care ❤️ 4y
AmyG $40....you‘d be a fool not to upgrade. Safe travels home. Wonderful book. 4y

Just to be clear, while he is likely on his last days with hospice, he has not passed yet. Unless he makes it to winter break (incredibly unlikely), this was my last visit with him.⬇️⬇️ 4y
alisiakae I was so thankful to get there though while he was still coherent and lucid. We had a beautiful but much too short weekend together with my sister, cousin, and grandmother also at his bedside. 💗 4y
riversong153 My condolences on your loss. On top of everything else going on, that must be very tough. I hope you and your family are holding up as well as can be expected during this time 💜 4y
Lreads I'm glad you were able to have that special time with your grandfather. Make sure to take care of yourself. ❤️ 4y

Making the most of it. Reading aloud to Clem on the hammock on a fine Sunday afternoon. We started this one together ages ago & now we‘ve found the time to finish it. 📖🥰
