pickI love Stephen king. There‘s nothing more cozy than a rainy/snowy day and sitting on the couch reading a King novel. While I‘ve read a couple of these stories before, most of them I never have. And these are OG King!
Like any short story compilation, there are hits and misses. It was fun reading the ones that‘ve been made into movies (Lawnmower Man I had to look up, because that movie‘s only similarity is the title. Apparently King…
pick101/100 It took me over a year to finish this, not because it wasn't good, just enjoyed it more in pieces instead all at once. Like all anthologies by various authors, some stories were great, some were just okay, and only one clunker. Surprisingly, the George RR Martin Game of Thrones story was one of the weaker ones. My favorites were "Her Father's Sword" by Robin Hobbs, "Hrunting" by C.J. Cherryh, "When I Was A Highway Man" by Ellen Kushner,

My last book of November, completed tonight for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 Its age (published in 1901) shows it the storytelling & some of the 8 stories were not that great, but I liked a few & it was mildly enjoyable so I‘ll give it a soft pick for nostalgia. 🐉💚

Spending my #HyggeHour on the couch finishing up my last book of November for #ChildrensClassicRead2025 🐉
I‘m (sadly) starting my last bag of stuffing popcorn🍿😢 & drinking a spiced pear Hint water (one of their holiday flavors).🍐
Mood is really not at all ready for Monday & a new busy workweek. 😵💫
pickI still like this book, but I noticed some issues that didn‘t bother me when I first read it. In The Body, the use of Gordie‘s short stories is completely unnecessary; it just makes the story longer than it needs to be. The Breathing Method, about pregnancy and birth, is just odd. I‘m not sure it needed the framing with old men telling stories in a creepy club — what exactly that club is is left hanging. #audiowalk

I've two more short stories to read in New Suns, the one I've just read being my favourite so far: One Easy Trick by Hiromi Goto which includes an encounter with a spirit bear. Synchronistically, reading on in Sharon Olds collection was a poem, A Song Near the End of the World, which is also about a bear encounter and its meaningfulness. I love when readings resonate and reinforce each other 🐻😌
