Welcome to Litsy!

Surprisingly I haven't been #creepedout yet by my first Stephen King! #newyearnewyou @Eggs

This one became a read some/listen some book after I got into it and didn‘t want to put it down. Fortunately it was available on Libby through my library collective. I am particularly glad I ended it listening during my chores today since Stephen King read the Author‘s Notes. His shouts out to Doris Kearns Goodwin, her husband Richard, and King‘s son Joe Hill we‘re particularly fun to hear him read. 😊 So glad I picked this one up! 📚

Omg this book is so good and the narrator on the audio book is amazing. It‘s one of the only books that literally had me shouting during my listen on the road. It truly is a #pageturner and every time my commute is over I‘m a little bummed. I‘m only 26% done #auldlangreads #newyearnewyou #regrets

I'm surprisingly enjoying my first Stephen King - it's not too scary at the moment & even though it's the first I've read by him, even I can recognise the mention of Pennywise - think I might use this book for my #literary square on my bingo card! #jennyis30

Awwww, man! This little IT crossover cameo with Richie and Bev in 11/22/63 made me so nostalgic. 😊💕

I'm an avid reader of Stephen King and this book was recommended to me by another fan. Passing on the recommendation to anyone who loves a book with great character development, but doesn't like the dark side of some King novels. The book is long but worth the investment!

Last reads of the month, the year and decade (depending on how you look at it)! Happy New Year!!! #DecemberWrapUp

I‘m glad to be home (after a lovely evening) reading this wonderful book on Christmas Eve. Stephen King often gets credit for being a prolific writer but not enough for being a GREAT writer. This is a masterpiece, although at times I find myself thinking ‘well, now he‘s just showing off‘. 😂 Looks like I‘m going to end the year the way I started it — with a 5 ⭐️ read.

Was never a big reader until this book came along. The element of time travel, suspense and romance in this book makes it one of my all time favorites. The description of the time period makes you almost want to go back yourself and live in the 60s. A fantastic read, I just couldn‘t put the book down and finished it up in two days.

1️⃣ This King book came to mind...interesting interpretation of history with time travel twists. However if you‘re looking for hard evidence for what really happened to JFK that November day in 1963, there are dozens and dozens of books to read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️: This doesn‘t read like your standard King novel at all. For me that‘s what made this one so readable. Pick this one up! #Tome #TimeTravel #AlternateHistory

I am a few hours into my first Stephen King novel, 11.22.63. Thank you to @Samplergal and @Readage for the recommendation. I‘m loving it so far! It seems to be just what I needed to get through the drudgery at work right now.

Easily one of my favorite books of all time. It's long but it doesn't feel so long because you are totally immersed in a different world. I love time travel but I need it to make sense and this did for me. Not scary like typical Stephen King but creepy and suspenseful.

Ahh I‘m so close to finishing this book! I spent a good chunk of the day listening to the audio #24in48

Almost made it to 17hrs
I only finished one book but I‘m cool with that ☺️

@24in48

I had to work today so I didn‘t get the full day to read. I want to make it to at least 20 hours #24in48

Week 4 check-in #bfc #bookfitnesschallenge #bfcr2

Yes, this is a Stephen King novel about time travel, the JFK assassination, and the butterfly effect. However, it also contains one of the most beautiful love stories I've ever read. The romance between Jake and Sadie is pure, beautiful, one for the ages.
Admittedly, I don't read #romance novels. I'm the eye-roller, the one who dislikes all things smushy, but Jake and Sadie make my heart ache.

4⭐ Once again Stephen King has left me satisfied. Now, to listen to this playlist!

#Cindercat is my cute reading buddy for the evening. She loves to crawl under my crossed legs for naps.

Pulled a muscle in my abdomen, somehow?! I am resting up today. Back at #BFCr2, tomorrow. Today is relaxing, reading and sketching, while keeping my kids alive. @wanderinglynn

I need this today. The day hasn't been great wanted to skip my #BFC today, but I told myself I would feel better after yoga. I do feel better, the issues are still here but I have a clearer mind to handle them now. #BFCr2 @wanderinglynn

Would you like to know why Haze is so chill right now? Because when I did my 30 minutes of yoga he was playing with my hair sitting underneath my downward dog, and licking the sweat off of me. My first day of #BFCr2 was definitely a challenge, but a cute challenge. Day 1 done and my body is feeling great. @wanderinglynn

My husband has an old friend from high school who found a bunch of abandoned kittens. My husband fell in love with this white one. Yesterday the hubby and daughter left to pick up this boy and then came home with a little girl too. Meet Haze (the boy) and Cinder (the girl). My reading buddies, today. #Hazedays #Cindercat

My family is gone for part of the day. These are my plans, Plus some music in the background (Rocketman playing currently). It is a good day.

I‘m breaking through the lull experienced from about pages 300-500. It isn‘t necessarily the book‘s fault, things have been busy for me. I am hoping SK starts playing up some of the creepy features, like the yellow/orange/black card man.
Reminds me vaguely of some of his meandering pacing in books like Insomnia and Duma Key - both books I‘ve read and reread.

I love overnight VA appointments in Iowa city. That mean I get to waste time in the mall finding bookish things. I am super excited about finding Gage and Church.

My boys are playing in the pool and I am reading. #VAappointments #2daysinarow #missingourgirl

This was a wild ride. Jake/George goes back in time to save a few lives - including that of JFK. But time has a way of restoring the balance and the butterfly effect is very, very real. I loved this book!

I‘ve been running around a lot here in Texas (and enjoying the weather- what it‘s like here right now is pretty close to what August in NY is like!) but I‘ve still been checking in on Litsy and actually getting a good amount of reading done!

We did visit some of the historical sites which was fitting for my current audiobook (tagged). This is from the JFK monument in Fort Worth.

#timetravel 11/22/63 Stephen king.. Like the buildup.. Halfway through reading. The narrative is gripping.

Finally finished on tonight‘s walk, and I think I just found my new favorite book!

What if you could go back in time and change something to make the future better? This is exactly what happens as it‘s a race against the clock to stop the assassination of the beloved JFK.

Even more than the sci-fi aspect of time travel, I appreciated the love story as much as the history aspect.

The ending was expected but so well done. HIGHLY recommend!

So close to the end of this one, and I LOVE it. This has been such a thrilling audio listen.

I‘ll admit, I watched the Hulu original starring James Franco before reading the book, and now I totally envision him as the character.

Did anyone else watch the show?

Really really excellent. Sci-fi meets historic fiction (and it's pretty light on the sci-fi aspect for the majority of the book), not the typical King at all, but, like most of his work, a real suck-you-in page-turner. Took me a while to get through this #chunkster but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
King talks about the research that went into it in the Afterword and man, what a project!
Highly recommend. Don't let the size scare you off!

(Disclaimer: listened to Audio) Not a typical King thriller, but a real mind game! This is a huge book (long listen) but well worth it! Weaving in real-world history with a bit of fiction and “what could‘ve been” really makes for an intriguing story. I found myself researching names and topics throughout, to learn more about what was true and what was King. And while the ending left me feeling a little disappointed, it is the “right” ending.

This was a rabbit hole of a book and I read it way faster than I meant to! The amount of research it must have taken to pull this off 🤯

It‘s a chunkster and I‘m super intimidated but I think I‘m gonna read it 💪
