I'm so happy you are still hanging out with us. Cheers to a wonderful reading year.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's. This year we are continuing with Lala's Buzzwordathon/Stephen King mashup. Hope you all don't mind. It helps me choose books to read each month that I might not have thought of.
This month's buzzwordathon "word" is (there,their,they're). Ashley and I have chosen two short stories (I'm still in school for one more semester) The first one is in the graphic novel Creepshow. The title of this story is "They're Creeping Up On You" If you have not yet watched the 1982 film with the same title I recommend it. This story is about a man who has a fear of roaches. This link takes you to a clip of the short story from the 1982 film posted on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-t-G5... If you do not like roaches and that is a trigger for you. Do not watch. You might have questions about the Creepshow tv series on Shudder the streaming platform. That series serves as a continuation of the 1982 film and does not showcase stories from Stephen King, but is written in the same style as the original short stories from what I have gathered online.
If you do not own Creepshow and you would like to read the other short story, we chose "Here There Be Tygers" which can be found in Skeleton Crew. In this very short story, a boy believes a tiger lurks in a bathroom. https://vimeo.com/217589081 Click on this link if you would like to watch a five-minute video on Vimeo based on the short story.
Ashley and I are so happy to have you all reading with us this year. Good luck with all your reads and as always Happy Reading!
