Wow, made it to chapter two, and I've been reading consecutively for past few days. Something's happening.
I may be guilty for starting books based on pop culture and never finishing them. Oops.
so-soThis was a tough one to be honest.
I have been very interested in Stephen King recently so I thought I would attempt to start this series.
However, The Gunslinger is leaving me feeling a bit confused. The Gunslinger is the last of his kind. The final one. He is on a quest to find the Man in Black and save the Dark Tower which basically keeps the worlds in line.
Or I‘m wrong! I‘m not quite sure!
So looking forward, I‘ll attempt book two!
Books and boards, two of my favorite things! A tower of The Dark Tower honoring the books that got me into reading and writing. This a series that will really grip you!
(Pardon the puns)
#CurrentlyReading
1. THE GUNSLINGER - I‘m kind of “eh” so far...but I‘ve heard a lot of people say this about the first Dark Tower book so I am pushing on with it.
2. SELF-COMPASSION - Just started this morning. I was led to read this book next as my non-fic/self-help book. I guess I could use some self-compassion...
Who is in a big ole‘ reading slump? 🙋🏼♀️
Who is really hoping this pulls me out of it? 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️

so-soI really don‘t get what I just read, but I also kind of want to read the next in the series so I can maybe gain some more understanding. #24in48 #readathon
Not exactly what I thought I‘d pick for my next book, but here we go. I have far too many books at my disposal, and I‘m overthinking the selection process. Still 10 hours of reading to go in the #24in48 #readathon

The journey to the dark tower begins ❤
pickThe gunslinger is written in a more poetic style. The beginning strives to set the scene, and you can get lost reading it. As the story progresses though it goes back to that familiar Stephen King writing.It is a interesting beginning to the dynamic of the man in black and Roland. One of my favorite dark tower books. If you don‘t read the rest I would say to give this one a try.
Of course Dobby decides to use Stephen King books as a pillow. It is kind of fitting since he was almost named King (after the author). Yep there is no question...he is my cat lol.
Thought i would start this one before getting some sleep. Accompanied by my favourite companion, Rambo who is already drifting off to the land of nod.
“I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I aim with my eye.
I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I shoot with my mind.
I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my heart.”

pickCatching up with these past reviews.. And i just love how the sun filtered oh so nicely through the curtains that i just had to take this pic.
Seriously though, the curiosity of how this series goes on is gonna bother me until I can read the next one...
*passively aggressively shaking my first at him*
Welcome to the #LosersClub open discussion for #TheGunslinger!
Please be mindful of spoilers. We have new readers to King who haven‘t read all of his books. When referencing his other work, please keep this in mind for our new-to-King friends. Don‘t forget to tag each other in the comments so your friends can see your reply. Have fun!
Some of the lyrics to #sofaraway reminded me of Roland's travels in this book.

#MarchIntoThe70s #Day28 ##CarryOnMyWaywardSon This Song has always reminded me of Roland Deschain in his never ending battle against The Man In Black. A man that has lost everything to this including his whole world & everyone he knew & then must relearn to be with others when his ka-tet arrives. I see him as a Sean Penn type figure, wrinkled clothes,dusty boots & hat with a heavy gun belt & wearing his suffering on his face. Carry on wayward son.
pickFirst book complete in my Dark Tower re-read with @TheNextBook . A lot of people loathe this book and I have never understood why. It's not my favorite in the series but I enjoy the backstory we get on Roland. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ and I love any excuse to post a pic of Idris Elba 😉
Ready to start this re-read with @TheNextBook - one book per month. Join us if you like! #thedarktower
pickA very methodical character whose story bounces from past to present. A good read, looking forward to reading the rest.
pickA re-read for my little #expandedDT journey. My first read was a couple of years ago. I was with many others in their belief that this is definitely not the best of the series. But reading it a 2nd time, after having read the whole series, gives it a whole new feel. An odd way to intro a series, but you have to have read the whole thing for the 1st book to reveal its full meaning.
Now to disturb my ever present #readingbuddy to grab another book.
The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.
One of my favorite book openings ever. I may need to re-read The Gunslinger soon. I wasn't crazy about the movie though 😞
pickI‘m finally diving in to the world of The Dark Tower😬. I enjoyed this more than I though I would, for some reason I‘ve started and stopped with this one many times. Definitely a good read and now I‘m ready to head to The Drawing of the Three!
Came in 3 shy of my goal. Gonna have to try harder next year. Happy new year
Haven't read a Stephen King novel in 20 years. Dark Tower series has been recommended to me by 4 friends so...here goes. Let's follow the man in black.
We had so much fun looking back over our year to choose some of our favorite Unabridged Shorts to share with you! My personal favorite--because I'm a movie and TV fiend!--is our episode considering book-to-screen adaptations. What are your favorite adaptations? Or (even better!) your LEAST favorites?
so-soI had a really hard time getting into this one. I‘ve heard so many great things about the series. It took me forever to read this one so I‘m not sure if I‘ll get to the rest of the series. I may try again soon.
There tends to be #gunshot when The Gunslinger is in town.

pickI put off reading The Dark Tower series for years because people who love his horror novels (like me) seem to really not love the DT series. I picked this up on a whim and... I really enjoyed it. It does lag in places and does contain a lot of those SK problematic themes, but he has a way of keeping you guessing. I‘ll be reading this whole series in 2019!
This came in today. I love SK but I‘ve never really been that interested in reading The Dark Tower series. Caught a wild moment and decided to at least give it a try
Picked up some more Stephen King (among other things) at the #Rockcliffebookfair to prep for my ‘extended Dark Tower‘ reading plan.
And then I had to pull out the rest of my King just to see them all together...and then it occurred to me that I‘ll have to rearrange my bookshelves to make room for them to live together...and then I got all perturbed about what to read next...and then I had to walk away and get some 🍷
🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️📚❤️😂
#katet
Finally some sun peeking through these hurricane clouds! Gotta sit by the window cuz the power is out 😞
so-soI‘m sure I‘m the grander scheme it‘s great, but for the intro I found it a bit slow.
pickThe inner monologue and pace of the book makes it worth it. Roland Deschain (The Gunslinger) is cold and calulated, this chilling inner monologe is what makes the book stand out. The secondary characters in the book are pretty bland. The villain has alot of build up but not alot of memorable traits. The fighting and flashbacks save this book from being a miserable Journey. A good quick read, recommend for flights or traveling. 7/10
The beginning of a absolutely biblical journey🖤
If you've never read this series, what are you waiting for? It's the best thing a reader can read. 😍
