ElizaMarie @dabbe Thanks - It went okay, they aren't sure what's “wrong“ wth me, so they are gonna do a 24 hr urine test to see if it explains my Calcium and Parathyroid results. Also, we talked A LOT about perimenopause (which is one of their hypothesis). 2w

Finished this #Audio early this morning. It was super quick. Finished it quickly while doing chores yesterday (I had been low-censused put on call), which I ALWAYS hate!

Anyway, the dynamic of the siblings was a bit disturbing - but believable. Families are complicated.

It | Stephen King

Are any of yall fellow #LosersClub members watching Welcome to Derry??? I am thoroughly enjoying it so far.

It was one of the books that I read way too young for my brain to fathom what was going on, but oh how i loved it! And then fell in love with horror and all things #StephenKing.

Curious to get others optinons on this adapation.

#BookToScreen

Lands It‘s pretty gory even for King is what I heard. I haven‘t watched it yet. I‘ve watched a couple YouTube videos about it. I‘m waiting to see if Marge and Rich are really Richie‘s parents. 3w

ElizaMarie @Lands Gory and disturbing yes. I am enjoying the horror of the show, its got the jump scares, the slow dread, the gore, just a lot of different aspects of horror all in one show. 3w
BarkingMadRead Me!! It‘s so horror filled, I‘m loving it! 3w
dabbe @ElizaMarie Nope. Where is is streaming? 3w
ElizaMarie @dabbe Its on HBO 3w
ElizaMarie @BarkingMadRead OOO me too! It's one of those shows where I was WTF to my husband, who is also thoroughly enjoying it! 3w
dabbe @ElizaMarie Thanks! We'll check it out! 3w
JessClark78 I am! The husband and I are watching it. We‘re loving it so far. So much more graphic than I was expecting. 3w
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick That certainly was an opening scene! I'm enjoying it so far. I love that it's actually creepy and gross at times. So much horror tends to fall flat with me because I'm almost desensitized to most of it. I do much better with gore & body harm than say paranormal activity or exorcism-related scares. 3w

My Favorite Month has come and gone. But... Every month has a little October in it! Read some great books. Not sure what/how I am going to do this next year, I don't think I am going to do the #ReCap the way I have been. I know its only November But I want to think ahead. Any suggestions?

PuddleJumper Depends on what you want to track, I guess 4w
ElizaMarie @PuddleJumper maybe like books I bought, books I read, books I DNF'd, books I donated? I am trying to see what other people track. 4w
PuddleJumper @ElizaMarie I have a massive spreadsheet that tracks everything 😅 I'm cutting it down next year to include a series and arc tracker, then what books I've read that I own/dnf and books I donate/buy. SG Plus let's you use tags to track stuff and generate stats. Spreadsheets or manual tracker are still probably easiest 4w
ElizaMarie ooo, that sounds interesting! I might need to work on my Excel skills. Or are they just tables you make? 4w

#AudioBooks are so needed! I am fortunate to be able to engage in them! I recall that years ago, I had a particularly difficult time with them. And now --- perfect for:

#AudioCommute
#AudioChores
#AudioReSet

#OctoberReCap

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I never thought I had the concentration for them and then I discovered that you can play around with the speed and I have not looked back ☺️ they‘ve gotten me through some pretty dull work days. 4w
ElizaMarie @thegirlwiththelibrarybag - YES! I had to up the speed, and now it's great! I eased into AudioBooks by doing podcasts first. Felt like someoen was “talking to me“ or “telling me a story“. 4w

Finished this one the other day. I haven't been able to send it yet because (well, I lost my wallet, so I am waiting for all that to come in the mail - it's super annoying). Anyway probably by Wednesday. This one is between “so-so“ and a “pick“ because off the body stuff (you will see my point in the annotation)

ElizaMarie @Sparklemn, I wish I could take credit. He was a rescue from Florida (moved to VT Humane Society), and somehow, he was named Lobster. When we picked him up, he was a baby and probably would have been fine with aname change, but we felt it fit well - so we didn't want to change his name. 1mo
