pickThis summer, the in-person Constant Reader book club I attend read “It,” by Stephen King. It was an excellent choice for a summer read! Since the book is quite lengthy, our facilitator divided it into three parts to cover our meetings in July, August, and September. This was a reread for me, as I had first read it in 2017. I was delighted to reread “It” as I remembered loving it the first time.

I'm working through Fairy Tale right now, but I don't think I'll finish this weekend, so it'll carry over, then I have some library checkouts to work on.
so-soFor a novella there was a lot of characters, details, world building, and intricate moments which is all King. There were one too many moments that were just slow and King felt the need to take up pages rather than paragraphs to describe the waiting in between the moments of action and character dialogue.
All in all, not my favorite but I finally got this off my TBR.

pickLower end of the pick scale for me. Like many of King‘s books, it could have been a little shorter. I liked the way King handled a parent‘s love for their child. There is only a vague whisper of the supernatural in the story; the horror here is nature and illness. I saw a goat in someone‘s front yard on my walk. #audiowalk #LosersClub
I still have three hours left in this book! When I first read this, I wasn‘t married, wasn‘t even thinking about getting married, and had no children. The parts with Tad are more difficult now that I have children and a grandchild. #audiowalk
According to the weather app, it was 89° but felt like 94° when I went for my #audiowalk. It didn‘t feel that hot to me. There was a nice breeze, and I enjoyed my walk.
