Yay, October! Elyse, I'm doing more Kingtober than I thought. Read "In the Tall Grass" and watched the movie on Netflix. Currently still reading Doctor Sleep and 1922 in Full Dark, No Stars.

Hope you're enjoying your reads!

[Elyse]

I finished listening to this weekend. Really liked 2 of the stories, liked 1, and hated 1.
Started listening to yesterday. Getting The Stand/Year One (Nora Roberts) vibes so far.

[Amy J.]

I started and finished over the weekend. (I LOVED it). I'm still reading , but I'm having trouble getting through the second story. I hated that the first one ended. I was really into that story then it was just suddenly over. And I'm still listening to , which I'll probably finish up this weekend.

[Elyse]

I finished listening to this morning and will finish reading today! Then I can focus on . I started listening to this morning.

Wowza!

[Amy J.]

I finished . And started .

I had a realization that all my horror is from white, male authors. So, I started looking for horror written by women. I love Octavia E. Butler's sci-fi/fantasy so I thought I'd read her "horror" novel about vamps. So far its my least favorite of her novels, but it's still pretty darn good. I'm also going to try to read by Alma Katsu

Finished listening to . Did not like it. Now I'm out of King/Hill audiobooks! Boooo. Must search my Audible for horror books.

[Elyse]

I started listening to yesterday an I didn't realize the Lifetime movie I watched last spring with Rob Lowe was a retelling of this book! So I'm a little bit familiar with the plot which is nice.
I'm still chugging along with , I'm about halfway through.

Whew Dewey's was a big help! But I did have to veer off of my King only which saddened me. First time in 3 years I've read something (multiple somethings!) other than King in October.

I hit such a slump these last two weeks. I don't know if it was because I finished the books I was looking forward to reading but after that I couldn't pick anything else up. It hasn't helped that one bored me enough to want to give up but a part of me still wants to work through it.

Graphic novels did help in the end a bit:

Thought I saw some non King books in there. Did you read Duma Key? I thought it was on your list. You did some impressive reading, and I'm sure King would understand you veering off the path a bit. :)
