Why are there so many stories about whacky, inanimate objects turning evil (ironing machine, trucks, toy soldiers, beer)?? 😵‍💫

Ok, it’s starting to grow on me :)

I still like it, but it feels like she’s just taken the template from Still Alice and replaced it with a different disease :/

I don’t think modernist books and I will ever be friends 😭

What does King mean by having the character who revealed the MC’s pen name brutally murdered in the first book after someone had uncovered his Bachman alias?? 🤔😵‍💫

Just 140 pages to go and I’ll finally have completed the reading challenge I started four years ago!! 😭

“‘I didn’t ought to have left my blanket behind,’ muttered Sam; and lying down he tried to comfort Frodo with his arms and body.” - They’ve been through so much; I’m about to cry 😭

“And as if in answer there came from far away another note. Horns, horns, horns. In dark Mindolluin’s sides they dimly echoed. Great horns of the North wildly blowing. Rohan had come at last.” - Whenever a moment like that comes up, I just have to watch the clip from the movie right away 😮‍💨

“‘Where will wants not, a way opens, so we say,’ he whispered; ‘and so I have found myself.’” - 👀

“And Charlie feels stupid and angry with herself for believing it, even though she shouldn’t.” - YES, YOU SHOULD!! 😵‍💫

This book is absolutely hilarious. She ignores the most obvious red flags, only to use her Holmes-level deductive skills in the most random situations 😂

“She wouldn’t be stupid, that’s for sure.“ - What are you talking about?? So far, it’s been one stupid decision after another lol 😵‍💫

“‘He knows not to what end he rides; yet if he knew, he still would go on.’ ‘A little people, but of great worth are the Shire-folk,’“ - Yeah, I’m basic, but I love the trope that heroes can be found everywhere :D

Pretty boring so far 😬

Okay, I think I already know where this is going, but it's so much fun! Way better than Lucky Day :D

Is it obvious that I’ve just watched the new trailer lol

‘I love him. He’s like that, and sometimes it shines through, somehow. But I love him, whether or no.’ - 😭

Sam’s the best, but I’ve never understood why he hates Gollum so much? 😕

Back to Frodo and Sam :)

I had completely forgotten that the whole Battle of Helm's Deep is only 13 pages long lol (still epic as fuck though)

Tolkien has the best names in fantasy, but nothing screams “evil spy/henchman” more than the name Wormtongue lol :D

What the fuck is going on?? Every chapter reveals a new level of depravity 😵‍💫

“Traumatized by a string of twenty-first-century pandemics” - Please, let this just stay fiction; I never want to experience another pandemic 😬

‘“We’re no Niffakoq, but we think we know what you’re thinking.” “I would like to hear your guess.” “You would like to meet our dog.”’ - Some things never change, even after centuries :D

“A thing is about to happen which has not happened since the Elder Days: the Ents are going to wake up and find that they are strong.” - 😮‍💨

“‘Then Éomer son of Éomund, Third Marshal of Riddermark, let Gimli the Dwarf Glóin’s son warn you against foolish words. You speak evil of that which is fair beyond the reach of your thought, and only little wit can excuse you.’” - Never say a bad word about Galadriel in front of Gimli!

Ngl I was sceptical about an epistolary novel, but damn, it’s really tugged at my heartstrings :‘(

“Did you read the book Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro? I am haunted by it.” - Me too :(

I really need to start writing letters and bring some whimsy back into my life lol

Tremblay is the favourite horror author of my favourite horror authors. What do they see in him that I obviously don’t?? 🫠
