Book 16 of 2018: This has always been one of my favorite Stephen King movies. Loved the book and I can‘t wait to rewatch the movie soon.
“Death is a mystery, and burial is a secret.” #StephenKing #PetSematary #3KingsBuddyRead
Book 15 of 2018: The was the second Stephen King book I‘ve ever read. The first one was ages ago in high school. This book was hard to get through. The first half was soooo slow. As the vampire is a little on the cheesy side. #SalemsLot #StephenKing #3KingsBuddyRead
“Alone. Yes, that‘s the key word, the most awful word in the English tongue. Murder doesn‘t hold a candle to it and hell is only a poor synonym…”
Book 14 of 2018: Really enjoyed this one and thinking about reading the the rest of the series.

Book 13 of 2018: Probably my second favorite book I‘ve read this year!!
“My parents probably wanted a girl who would sit in the pews wearing pretty florals and a soft smile. They got combat boots and a mouth silent until it‘s sharp as an island machete.” #ElizabethAcevedo #ThePoetX
Book 12 of 2018: I don‘t know what to think of most of these stories 🤷🏽♀️ But here are some of my favorite quotes.
“How could such pretty brown fingers write such ugly, deep stuff?”
“That his odor is of ashes while hers is of earth and sun.”
Book 11 of 2018: “But she ain‘t got the mothering instinct. I knew when you was little and we was out shopping, and she bought herself something to eat and ate it right in front of you, and you was sitting there crying hungry. I knew then.”
Book 10 of 2018: “Stuff your eyes with wonder, he said, live as if you'd drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It's more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.”
Sidenote: I did not like the HBO movie 😑
Book 9 of 2018: “As long as we don't have magic, they will never treat us with respect. They need to know we can hit them back. If they burn our homes, we burn theirs, too.”
Book 8 of 2018: “When your rage is choking you, it is best to say nothing.”
Book 7 of 2018: "A straight line is not the shortest distance between two points"
