Love this tradition :) It started with my grandmother, who used to read this to me every December 1st when I was younger, and then she gifted me a couple of copies of it throughout the years. We had very little in common other than our love for reading. This reading from Hugh Grant was perfect! Also was able to get some work done around the house :)

EHH. So the MC was just horrible! Like JUST HORRIBLE, there was a bit towards the end that I had seriously considered #DNF because I couldn't read another one of “will he kill me“ monologues. But I slugged through. The ending was --- eh. I am gonna say it's a “no“ from me.

Lobster is NOT impressed.

I gotta say “so-so”. Sure the writing is beautiful, but would I recommend it to anyone? No. It‘s too much. Even though the ending wasn‘t what I expected- it wasn‘t enough to encourage others to get there.

Finished this #Audio early this morning. It was super quick. Finished it quickly while doing chores yesterday (I had been low-censused put on call), which I ALWAYS hate!

Anyway, the dynamic of the siblings was a bit disturbing - but believable. Families are complicated.

It | Stephen King
post image

Are any of yall fellow #LosersClub members watching Welcome to Derry??? I am thoroughly enjoying it so far.

It was one of the books that I read way too young for my brain to fathom what was going on, but oh how i loved it! And then fell in love with horror and all things #StephenKing.

Curious to get others optinons on this adapation.

#BookToScreen

Lands It‘s pretty gory even for King is what I heard. I haven‘t watched it yet. I‘ve watched a couple YouTube videos about it. I‘m waiting to see if Marge and Rich are really Richie‘s parents. 1mo

ElizaMarie @Lands Gory and disturbing yes. I am enjoying the horror of the show, its got the jump scares, the slow dread, the gore, just a lot of different aspects of horror all in one show. 1mo

dabbe @ElizaMarie Nope. Where is is streaming? 1mo

ElizaMarie @BarkingMadRead OOO me too! It's one of those shows where I was WTF to my husband, who is also thoroughly enjoying it! 1mo
dabbe @ElizaMarie Thanks! We'll check it out! 1mo
JessClark78 I am! The husband and I are watching it. We‘re loving it so far. So much more graphic than I was expecting. 1mo
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick That certainly was an opening scene! I'm enjoying it so far. I love that it's actually creepy and gross at times. So much horror tends to fall flat with me because I'm almost desensitized to most of it. I do much better with gore & body harm than say paranormal activity or exorcism-related scares. 4w

My Favorite Month has come and gone. But... Every month has a little October in it! Read some great books. Not sure what/how I am going to do this next year, I don't think I am going to do the #ReCap the way I have been. I know its only November But I want to think ahead. Any suggestions?

PuddleJumper Depends on what you want to track, I guess 1mo
ElizaMarie @PuddleJumper maybe like books I bought, books I read, books I DNF'd, books I donated? I am trying to see what other people track. 1mo
PuddleJumper @ElizaMarie I have a massive spreadsheet that tracks everything 😅 I'm cutting it down next year to include a series and arc tracker, then what books I've read that I own/dnf and books I donate/buy. SG Plus let's you use tags to track stuff and generate stats. Spreadsheets or manual tracker are still probably easiest 1mo
ElizaMarie ooo, that sounds interesting! I might need to work on my Excel skills. Or are they just tables you make? 1mo

#AudioBooks are so needed! I am fortunate to be able to engage in them! I recall that years ago, I had a particularly difficult time with them. And now --- perfect for:

#AudioCommute
#AudioChores
#AudioReSet

#OctoberReCap

thegirlwiththelibrarybag I never thought I had the concentration for them and then I discovered that you can play around with the speed and I have not looked back ☺️ they‘ve gotten me through some pretty dull work days. 1mo
ElizaMarie @thegirlwiththelibrarybag - YES! I had to up the speed, and now it's great! I eased into AudioBooks by doing podcasts first. Felt like someoen was “talking to me“ or “telling me a story“. 1mo

Finished this one the other day. I haven't been able to send it yet because (well, I lost my wallet, so I am waiting for all that to come in the mail - it's super annoying). Anyway probably by Wednesday. This one is between “so-so“ and a “pick“ because off the body stuff (you will see my point in the annotation)

bookandbedandtea Losing one's wallet sounds terrible! I hope resolving all the issues around that is going smoothly. I'll be very interested in your comments when this makes its way back to me. 😊 1mo

This was a cute quick audible original that had a lot of nostalgia for me. I have been trying to better at staying away from doom scrolling - which a bit part of this book talked about how much life was simpler in 99. I agree!

ElizaMarie @Sparklemn, I wish I could take credit. He was a rescue from Florida (moved to VT Humane Society), and somehow, he was named Lobster. When we picked him up, he was a baby and probably would have been fine with aname change, but we felt it fit well - so we didn't want to change his name. 1mo
