pickThe Intruder follows main character, Casey, whose sense of safety is slowly compromised when a visitor shows up on a stormy evening. What makes this story work so well is the accumulation of small, unsettling moments, strange comments, and behaviors that are easy to dismiss at first but grow increasingly disturbing. I again, couldn‘t put this one down!!
so-soI‘ve decided to try and read 12 Stephen King novels in the 12 months of 2026 to attempt to eventually read all of his novels. The stars aligned and the first pick was Misery! And…I found it pretty slow and mostly boring either way pops of insanity and terror (which I did love). I love the movie so I couldn‘t help but compare the two and (gasp) I like the movie more 😳! Annie is much crazier and more violent is the novel, which I liked, but ⬇️
For my birthday, my husband went all out and ordered signed first editions from my beloved independent bookstore, The Poisoned Pen, located in Scottsdale, Arizona. I couldn‘t be more thrilled to add these to my collection.

pickFinally finished my first read for 2026. I had to DNF The Devils by Joe Abercrombie.
This read is of a neo-scientist and a detective that keep crossing paths in different time lines in order to stop the creation of a chair that could destroy humanity. This is my second read by this author. He really has an obsession with time travel.
