End of Watch | Stephen King
Pickpick

This was a perfect 'end' to the Bill Hodges trilogy. In some ways one of King's scariest novels, in some ways his gentlest, this is a story that grapples with big ideas like moving on and death, and they're handled with aplomb. If you've read Mr. Mercedes & Finders Keepers, what are you waiting for?

27% read so far. King combines telekinesis and social media in a terrifying way.

Jellybeanbon @CodyB how is it so far? 9y
CodyB @Jellybeanbon It's good! The scenes with Brady remind me of old-school King. :) 9y

I liked this book when I read it the first time. Absolutely loved it this time. In fact, I would consider it to be one of King's true classics. SK is at his best when writing about writing and obsession — this novel is about both. A race-to-the-finish joyride, FINDERS KEEPERS is great reading!

Mr. Mercedes: A Novel | Stephen King
Pickpick

Like most King novels, I enjoyed this one even more upon rereading. Brady Hartsfield is one of King's vilest, most twisted villains. This is very much a chase novel, and it's so much fun. I couldn't put the book down once I hit page 250. Makes me excited for END OF WATCH!

Just ordered this book from Amazon! The premise sounds SUPER intriguing.

LizLazzara It's fantastic--I'm rereading it now so I can refresh my memory before diving into books 2&3. Such a gripping story. 9y

I'm digging this reprint — found in everyone's favorite store, Walmart.

The October Country | Ray Bradbury
Pickpick

I'm definitely a Bradbury fan now. This book of nineteen short stories is simply one of the best I've ever experienced. The author's prose is divine, and his story ideas wholly original. "The Scythe" and "Skeleton" are two of the creepiest stories I've ever read! I certainly recommend this one.

A little reading before bed. ☺️ I wasn't a big Bradbury fan before, but this story collection is turning that around!

BekahB This is my favorite Bradbury collection. The Crowd creeped me out after I read it. 9y

Certainly one of the finest books I've read so far this year — the world is in flames, and Hill's small band of characters must do all they can to survive. Intriguing premise with arresting characters and endless action, I could not put this one down until I was done. (And yes, I bought 3 copies.)

Adventuresbetweenpages Can you see it now? Sometimes you have to refresh your page a couple times. Took a few for my first one to pop up also 9y
CodyB @Adventuresbetweenpages Nope! Hmmm.... At least other people can see it. 9y
