What did you think of Cujo Becky? It's one SK book that absolutely terrifies me to read so I've never gotten to it yet. The other is Pet Semetary. My pets are like a part of our family so these two books worry me a bit ☺

I haven't even bothered to attempt any of these challenges lately. There's no point until I can get through The Stand and get back to the real world. That book has just consumed me and I refuse to pick up anything else until I'm finished.

Becky I loved Pet Semetary but I thought Cujo was sort of boring. I haven't even started on the Stand yet.

One day I'll put my big girl panties on and read both of these. I'll never feel complete unless I do, although I probably will end up leaving them until I have finally exhausted every other SK book there is out there to read first :-)
