Finished Ready Player One and wondered why it took me so frickin' long!! That was such a nice little break from the backstabbing in the GoT series (still love those characters though).

What have you just read?

Uh, a whole lot of nothing, sadly..

well, pick up some Dr. Seuss or Pat the Bunny... it still counts :)

...at least that was how i got my reading in. I loved voicing characters to my kids; they thought it was hilarious. :D

I finished 77 Shadow Street not that long ago, and now I'm totally engrossed in 1Q84.

how was that Koontz read? haven't heard great things about it... it's like he's lost touch with his creep factor or something lately... :O

I just finished The Talisman and it was awesome! I hadn't read it in soooo long I forgot how amazing it is.

What are your thoughts on it, Lee?

What are your thoughts on it, Lee?"

I liked it, not really what I expected, but I love fantasy so this was a nice read. I found it to be a bit wordy in spots, and I also kept thinking of The Never-ending story while I read it.

I just fiished Finger Licken Fifteen and am still working on finishing 11/22/63

Oh, all right. I'm so glad you liked it!:)

The last book I finished was The Sanctuary by Ted Dekker. I'm still plowing through The Talisman right now.

The Talisman has always been my favorite Stephen King book. Such a wonderful, fantastical story. I have reread it too many times to count, and always find a new tidbit of information.

“As his mouth flooded with that horrible sweet purple taste, he could actually see those grapes dull, dusty, obese and nasty, crawling up a dirty stucco wall in a thick, syrupy sunlight that was silent except for the stupid buzz of many flies”
― Stephen King, The Talisman

I am def gonna be reading the Talisman again soon, but prolly not till after the first of the year. I recently read Tick Tock. It was ok. I think it could have been much better.

Well, as most of you probably know, I am currently re-reading The Talisman. This will be my 3rd journey with Jack. I haven't made much progress yet (80 pages,) but I'm loving every word! I'd forgotten just how much I truly LOVE this book, and why it's one of my all-time Favorites.

Alondra- I recently came across said quote. Isn't it utterly AMAZING?

Janie, I want to get to The Talisman and Black House early next year if you want to read it together.

I'm sure you will LOVE them, Kathryn!:)

It is, it is!! When i get through Feast for Crows, i need to revisit.... it has been too long. :)

yeah, Tick Tock wasn't that great...but i guess it passes time when you're waiting for a better book!

The Stone Monkey by Jeffery Deaver and The Lock Artist by Steve Hamilton

Reading The Oath, by Frank Peretti. It is real good!

I just finished Stay Close by Harlan Coben and I really liked it. 4.5 stars

Seeing as how I'm about halfway through Inheritance, I am really hoping to finally finish it in a week or so! I think I can do it!!

You can do it!! woot-woot!

..guess what Dustin? Went to family Thanksgiving dinner and 1-week old baby there. I held him all evening.. with that wonderful baby smell. I bit his cheeks too many times to count! Babies are so contagious...

Thank you so very much for your confidence in me, Alondra!! You're awesome!!

Indeed, babies are contagious. It sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving.:)

I just finished The Colorado Kid, I thought it was a brilliant little story.

Hi, Lee!

I really liked The Colorado Kid a lot. I'm glad you did, too.

We had a great Thanksgiving, thank you so much for asking! I even managed a chapter of The Talisman!!
I'm glad you had a great one, as well.:)

Lee wrote: "I just finished The Colorado Kid, I thought it was a brilliant little story."

it was a good, little story. i love King's short stories the best. he likes to pack a punch ...

Just finished A Feast for Crows... gave it 5 stars. I am against the grain... as far as reviews go, and don't care. Just being fair and honest in my assessment. Most people said this book was poor compared to the others, because GRRM did not stay the course. I think this is what made it better. Why should an author do what is expected? It is his tale to tell... let him tell it.

loved this one!

I just finished Anna and the French Kiss! It's absolutely amazing!

The Oath was fabulous! Now chilling because tomorrow we start The Bachman Books!

adding it to my tbr. i love the bachman books... The Long Walk.. :D

Janie wrote: "The Oath was fabulous! Now chilling because tomorrow we start The Bachman Books!"

That's awesome, Janie! I'm so glad you enjoyed The Oath!

I just read "Nefertiti" & I liked it because I don't read much about ancient Egypt so I found it very interesting and an engaging read.

I just finished Down the Darkest Road, I really enjoyed it. In fact I stayed up til almost one this morning to finish it.

Just finished The Oath, now working on The Bachman Books.

Janie wrote: "Just finished The Oath, now working on The Bachman Books."

I really enjoyed your review of The Oath a lot, Janie! Enjoy The Bachman Books!

I finished A Game of Thrones earlier. It left me breathless. I don't think I've felt like this after finishing a book since The Dark Tower. I'm still thinking about it two hours later.

I can't wait to read A Clash of Kings, but I have a bunch of books I need to read first. I'm hoping my husband will get me the rest of the series for Christmas, LOL!

Hi, Courtney!

I am thrilled to hear that you enjoyed Thrones so VERY much!! A Song of Ice and Fire is such an amazing and brilliant series!!

Hopefully you can get the other books ASAP.

I finally finished The Talisman! Yay!!!

I agree with my book-brother; GoT series is amazing. I just finished A Feast for Crows and was thrown for a loop.. i love the series and just ordered book 5. good luck on the GoT journey :D

A Dance With Dragons is the only installment I haven't read.. yet.

Just finished with Rage, and wrote my review. I decided to read these books seperately as I have them all seperate except for Rage. Maybe one of these days I will get my hands on it.

Awesome, Janie! I'll check out your review shortly.
