I like Wizard and Glass (#4) best of all King's books..."W & G is my favorite King book period, mostly because of the Susan Delgado story. I've never been grabbed like that by any other book. But as you say different strokes.
Just finished Boy, Snow, Bird. Brilliantly written. Almost perfect, but not quite. 4 stars. Here's my review.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Reading:
by Patrick Rothfuss; and am loving every bit of it. :)
by Nick Luppa. So far, so good. Paranormal romance is not my thing, but murderous, vindictive witches are!! Its good. :)
Just finished Bruce Campbell's book "Hail to the Chin".
Just finished Once Second After by William R. Forstchen. (excellent book)

no need to thank me; folks must know your work. I posted what I was reading on Instagram and have never gotten so many likes on a book! Great job, Nick :)

Linda wrote: "A Christmas Carol"A great read... much more magical than any film or TV adaptation.
True it's a great read but the adaptation with Alistair Sims is my all time favorite christmas movie.
The Concrete Blond by Michael Connelly.
Really getting into The One, by John Marrs.
Julia wrote: "Just finished Once Second After by William R. Forstchen. (excellent book)"I agree 200%. :-) It's a trilogy and I loved it. What a wake up call. It should be required reading for everyone old enough to read and to depend on/use electronics....which is most of the population.
Honestly, we are so vulnerable. It's a plausible scenario.
The witch elm. I was thinking about starting a thread on it in the non king books folder since it was recommended by him.

Welcome! Dolores Claiborne is so good! I haven't read The Outsider yet.
Welcome Raffaele. Good review of the Outside. Thanks.
I wanted to double check the beginning of Boy, Snow, Bird to see if somehow there was any constancy at all. And now I find myself re-reading (actually re-listening to) the whole thing again. I've never re-read (or re-listened to) a book immediately after reading it the first time, But the writing is so damn good it's hard to set it aside, and somehow I missed so much the first time through. I'm also still enjoying THE ONE.
Rhian wrote: "Made passed the halfway point of The Passage by Justin Cronin"Loved, loved this trilogy. The first book is best, though.
I don't know if I'll be getting the next 2 books I'll have to see at the end
Finished Run and Razors a murder she wrote mystery.

Thank you! I am very very curious about that story!
Hi all! I have just finished Dolores Claiborne.
I think it is a very "deep" book..
Have you already read it? What do u think about?

You're right, about Dolores Claiborne, Raffaele. Good review, thanks. Now take a look at Gerald's Game supposedly occurring at the exact same time that key moments in Dolores's story are. A completely different book and more controversial, but well worth the read, I think.
Just finished my second complete read of Boy, Snow, Bird. I started out trying to figure out if the ending was plausible and set up in any way by the opening chapters. I also wanted to see why so many of the people I really admire didn't like this book. Then I was captured by the clever dialogue and intriguing plotline. As an old Disney fan I also wanted to revisit the fairy tales that form the basis of the story (Is it really Snow White told from the point of view of the wicked queen?) Mirrors sure play a major part. I'll have yet another review after I figure out what to say.
I'm currently reading The Suspect by Fiona Barton.
