Shelby Suderman | 2182 comments Hey everyone! Elyse and I are reading The Tommyknockers together this year. We'd love for you to join in!

This is a reread for me and most likely, I'll be reading it casually during the first half of the year.

Shelby Suderman | 2182 comments I read a bunch today. It's been a slow start getting back into it, but I think it really picks up once the two MCs meet back up.

I've made it to page 400, Ch 7. I've been reading 27-28 pages a night so I can be finished by the 31st. IT'S SO VERBOSE. It makes sense that King has said somewhere in The Tommyknockers is about 350 pages of a good book. It was one of his last written while he was still doing cocaine. So much happening in the rest of town while Bobbi and Gard are doing what they're doing. (view spoiler)

Now I'm sad again. Might read more of this before April. Turns out I'm tentatively participating in Magical Readathon again!

Shelby Suderman | 2182 comments I hate to say it, but I ended up shelving my reread of this. Oops. I have so much else on my plate and it kinda got away from me. I'm sure I'll try again eventually.
