Reread time to get ready for The Testaments show 🖤

Loved it so much last year, I’m already ready for a reread 🖤

This being referred to as the greatest love story is one of the biggest jokes I’ve ever heard.

Can’t find my groove with the other apps yet. Fable has a lot of potential, but still needs work. So for now I’m begrudgingly back here. 🤷‍♀️

Hey Friends! I created a StoryGraph account to start keeping track of my reading instead of here. Trying to step away from contributing to billionaires success. ::cough cough Bezos::
StoryGraph is a black woman owned business & from what I see so far has a lot more features in terms of tracking & rating. If you decide to check it out you can still find me as laughingwillow :)

I’m about halfway through this & I think I might be one of the rare few who don’t like his writing…
If you want to change my mind tell me which book of his I NEED to read.

10 minutes in and I am both very hungry and sad.

I’ve already cried like a bitch multiple times. I’m doomed.

Time for a healthy dose of reread nostalgia

I feel like such an outlier when it comes to Straub’s writing. I struggled through parts of his cowritten books with King but went ahead with this pick because of its high praise. The horror at the heart of it is intriguing but on the whole I am struggling to stick it out to the end.

Y’all don’t have to like it, but if you followed King’s socials these last few years & you’re familiar with Holly (WHO HAS OCD)… but went into this book thinking it wouldn’t bring up Covid a million times? Baby that’s on you lol

I’m having a hard time finding my groove here. It’s not bad by any means, I’m even interested. Something’s just off though. Might re-shelf for a later time.
