Loved hearing Wilson speak, then meeting him afterward, recently in Nashville! He‘s so funny, quirky, and sweet. This was not my fave of his, but still enjoyable.

vivastory One of my favorite SK books 6d
vivastory BTW: Love the IT Funko. My brother gave me a Stoker Funko for my b-day. I love it 6d
britt_brooke @vivastory Sadly, one of my least faves of his so far. I just can‘t get into vampires. I have a few King Funkos. They are so fun! I have Georgie, too; and Carrie; and Gage and Church. (edited) 6d
vivastory Carrie was the King book that made me want to read a lot more of his works & it sounds like you have a great King Funko collection. Pet Sematary is def one I appreciate a lot more the older I get & the more loss I have experienced, def due for a reread I think 6d
britt_brooke @vivastory Carrie was my first horror from him! Before that, I‘d read 11/22/63 and On Writing. I loved Carrie so much. It made me realize I could handle well-written creative horror. 🖤 6d

This was a #reread for #bookclub. I was pretty disappointed that most of my book club didn‘t like it. They thought the organization was too jumbled. I think they didn‘t understand that it‘s part memoir, too. Idk. I still thought it was a great one; unique to the genre.

TheBookHippie I still think about this book. 1w
TheKidUpstairs I think about this book every time I'm the last one up in my house, triple checking the sliding door locks 😳🫣 1w
TieDyeDude Yeah, unfortunately I think it is tough to judge now that there was a series, the case is solved, and there has been some time since the author passed. When it came out, there were so many developments; it was exciting to read the book and be on the front lines of all the excitement. Maybe now that there has been some time and closure, people aren't as invested? 1w

37th Southern Festival of Books! A huge thank you to Vanderbilt University for throwing support to this event so it could still happen this year after gov‘t cuts to humanities programs. 😤 There were tons of authors, but I chose Ruth Reichl, Silas House (w/ Ashley Judd), Kevin Wilson, and Pulitzer winner Jonathan Eig. All incredible!!

vivastory I have read only ONE K Wilson, but loved it. (Family Fang) I'm planning on reading Nothing To See Here next. I also wanted to let you know that Nashville has been in my thoughts recently w/ that terrible explosion 💝 (edited) 3w
britt_brooke @vivastory I loved The Family Fang, too, and Nothing to See Here. Planning to read his new one soon. Listening to him speak was so fun. He‘s hilarious and weird and so damned smart. 3w
britt_brooke @vivastory And thank you, Scott. Those poor people and their families. So, so awful. 3w

vivastory For some reason his short story collection keeps getting recommended to me, which is ok bc I love short stories but I also want to read his novels more so...he feels like if Wes Anderson had pursued writing instead of filmmaking
-When I saw the update that they were not looking for survivors only a few hours afterwards, I couldn't even imagine how terrible the blast was. Really horrible

While in Palm Beach over fall break, we visited this rare books shop on Worth Avenue, one of the richest shopping districts in the US. (This is the only store we went in, lol).

TalesandTexts I don‘t know if I would ever buy a first edition of anything, even if I could afford it. (At this moment, cannot afford any 😂 - but that‘s besides the point) I love bending my spines, dog earring my pages, annotating it front to back - and those are all things that one absolutely cannot do with a first edition. Anyone else echoes my sentiment here? But I definitely love hearing about others‘ experience with first editions. (edited) 3w
britt_brooke @TalesandTexts I‘m definitely too cheap to ever buy one. 😂 But if I did, it would have to stay on display in my home, untouched. 3w

A ghostwriter is tasked with writing her estranged-horror-author-father‘s memoir? Yeah, sign me up! This is the kind of thriller I can get behind. I‘m generally not a fan of the genre because there‘s often too much plot, not enough development. This is well-written and not so far fetched my eyes rolled out of my head.

Susan Powell‘s story. This is very disturbing from the newlywed start. Creeps beget freaking creeps. There is ZERO doubt what happened, and yet, ZERO justice. These types of cases are utterly infuriating. Grabbed this after listening to a recent episode of Murder in America Podcast.
