My milk expires on the 60th anniversary of JFK's assassination. Coincidence? I think not.

I spotted a 11/22/63's ref !

SO FAST!!! YES!!

So funny to think that in this Alternate Universe Jake sayed in Derry a few years to teach there. Obviously would mess up the whole plot of 11/22/63 but it's just for fun <3

Thinking about the gay retired teachers who own that hotel in 11/22/63. I hope they had a good life.

Weird, but Stephen King's books comfort me.

Also, I'm angry. I know life is hard, I think everyone knows that in their hearts, but why does it have to be cruel, as well? Why does it have to bite?

Stephen King is also so funny for having the protagonist drive to Derry and meet the blorbos from his other books

#He's even funnier for having the protagonist cringe at Richie making racist jokes #My brother in horror you wrote him like that #Stephen King #11/22/63 #Stephen King's It

No pedimos este lugar (Stephen King)

No pedimos este lugar,

ni esta música;

sólo fuimos invitados.

Por eso,

como la oscuridad nos rodea,

volvamos nuestro rostro hacia la luz.

Soportemos las dificultades

para dar las gracias por tantas cosas.

Se nos ha dado el dolor

para asombrarnos con la alegría.

Se nos ha dado la vida

para negar la muerte.

No pedimos este lugar,

ni esta música.

Pero ya que estamos aquí,

vamos a bailar.

i really just love stephen king's whole thing. his style hooks me right in. it's so easy to read, like gliding over an ice skating rink that's just been zamboni'd. and he paints whole pictures of people, little side characters and main characters, with just a few choice brushstrokes. i love it.

August 2023 Reading Wrap Up

I only read 5 books in August, and while I started off the month strong, finishing my summer semester of grad school + starting the fall semester really kicked my butt. I read some good books, but wish I had had more time. September is probably going to have even less reading time too :(

1.Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros (3/5 stars). This is the very popular fantasy romance of this summer. I felt very hot and cold on this book, and while there were parts I liked, there were also parts I did not like. I think I'm going to read book 2 when it comes out later this fall, since I liked the twist at the end, and I see potential growth for the series. Adult high fantasy.

2.The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow (3/5 stars). I finally got around to reading this, and while it was enjoyable, it is by no means my new favorite thing. I do really like Harrow's writing style, but I felt like this was a little long at points. I'm very excited about Starling House later in October. Historical Fantasy.

3.Skyhunter by Marie Lu (4/5 stars). This was a good ya dystopian sci-fi/fantasy story. It reminded me a bit of Legend and it brought in some really unique worldbuilding, even though I thought it was a bit predictable at times. I plan to pick up the sequel as soon as it is released in paperback, and I'll read just about anything Marie Lu writes. YA dystopian fantasy.

4.11/22/63 by Stephen King (5/5 stars). This is the second novel I've read by King, and I was not disappointed. I had such a good time reading this doorstopper of a novel, and found the historical details, characters, and relationships to be my favorite parts. The ending of Stephen King books are never really happy, never really sad, but just hit this bittersweet spot that leaves me in a book hangover. Historical alternate history.

5.The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (5/5 stars). This is one of the only works by Gaiman I hadn't read yet, so when I saw a copy at a used book sale, I grabbed it. Gaiman is really just one of my favorite writers of all time, and I think he's brilliant. I really liked the story and some of the themes this book touches on. Middle grade fantasy.

That's it! I unfortunately did not get around to a nonfiction this month, and I started reading The Fifth Season, but I haven't finished it yet. I hope September will be a better reading month, but I'm going to be very busy, so I sort of doubt it.

My (ambitious, but highly improbable) September tbr:

Finish The Fifth Season by NK Jeminson

Start my reread (on audio) of the Shades of Magic series by VE Schwab

Tiamat's Wrath (Expanse #8) by James SA Corey

Nonfiction

Anyone else get super obsessed with certain fandoms but then you go online to look for more content and there just a handful of actually good content.

This is why I like rewatching/rereading stuff.
