Welcome to Litsy!

Little over half-way update. I‘ve gotten a little over 8.5 hours reading time in which isn‘t bad for me. Finished Roadwork and made some progress in Grotesque and Cujo. Wasn‘t actually planning on reading any Cujo for this readathon but I was running errands earlier and I had this audio handy. #deweys24hourreadathon #deweysoct25 #HauntedShelf #GrimReaders #OneSnackToRuleThemAll #Chocolatiers #BirthdayBashReadathon #LosersClub

My #BookSpin isn't in Litsy's database, but I started listening to it today after I got home from the Renaissance Festival. I'm not really looking forward to my #DoubleSpin but I want to catch up with #LosersClub.

Today's reading spot. Jungle vibes.

I don't read scripts so the setting up of it took some getting used to but then after that it reads smooth, the scenes flow right into each other in a seamless way with notes here and there of characters and settings and even some camera direction that it was easy to imagine or in my case relive as I've seen this one plenty of times.
I really loved being able to read this 🫶🏻

I read this with @BarkingMadRead and the #losersclub last month.
I would classify this as a thriller but I feel it was a stronger overarching political commentary on gun laws and possibly eminent domain. In the early 1970s Bert and his wife lose their house to fair market value and a highway.
Read if you like a slow descent into madness & bad choices.

🤡 Taken with the newest addition to my King collection - It duck from Five Below!

This is a rather boring book. It's about Barton Dawes a man whose house is about to be turned into a highway. He doesn't handle it well, infact he goes nuts 🚧

I've tried so hard with this, cos y'know, it's Stephen King. I have to bail. I just don't engage with the characters. Sorry #LosersClub this one is not for me.

I‘ve read better Bachman books. This one, to my mind, was a bit rambling and could‘ve been a short story or a novella. #LosersClub Started The Moon Sister back up on my #audiowalk.

I‘m not really loving Roadwork, but I will finish it. It was warm today, but there was such a nice breeze by the bay that I was able to walk outside. #audiowalk #LosersClub
