Im Andenken an E.A. Poe und mit Mycophobie gewürzt, bewahrt einen diese Geschichte beim nächsten knarzenden Geräusch ganz sicher nicht vor Gänsehaut.

As a young adult, there was this strange time where I got a job in a different town.

I moved into it alone and worked for about a week before I was able to drive back home and get my wife and our few belongings (starting a life together is a weird thing to think back on).

In that week, though, I had nothing in the house. I bought a TV because we didn’t have one (wasn’t able to get TV service until the first paycheck came in, though) and slept on the cardboard box it came in.

It was the summer in Georgia so daily thunderstorms would happen in the evening and I just sat there on the floor until it was time to sleep on the box.

But I did have this book so I was fine (more or less).

Besides the jive - which is cringe-inducing to an uncomfortable level - I love this book. I thought the pacing was really good and I loved the space between the doors.

I’ve read critiques that express distaste for King’s “boring,” parts like the space between doors or most of The Shining, but I think there’s purpose to it. The journey was supposed to be long and arduous and you don’t get that point across if you skip the space between the doors for the sake of a fast, exciting read. And, honestly, the story is better for it.

This book also introduced Eddie, who just might be my favorite King character of all time.

It was interesting re-reading this. I enjoyed it the first time (in the time between moving in and going to get my wife, I read books 2-4) but this time was better as my wife and I are together this time and I at least have a couch to sit on. ;-)

I wrote up a huge review of this book because it brings up a lot of interesting ideas and questions regarding the value of souls, the transactional base of Christianity, the subjugation of a congregation at the hands of a power-hungry priesthood, and whether we as humans have been sold a twisted and warped tale of a deity for the sake of power and control rather than the potential truth of an all-knowing, all-seeing, and (most importantly) an all-loving god.

But it was really long and religion is such a hot-button topic that I think it’s safer for everyone’s sanity to instead recommend you read the book (it’s not insanely long, though there are definitely parts to stop and ponder at) and see what your feelings are.

I WILL say that in the 1990s parents petitioned school and public libraries to either remove or not stock Goosebumps books because of violence, death, and satanic imagery - none of which were in the series. When asked why they thought parents were petitioning, a librarian said they thought it was because parents were just reading the titles of books rather than the actual books.

I say this because I genuinely hope you don’t dismiss this as anything more or less than a harsh critique of the organized faith of Christianity for various reasons rather than, you know, anything particularly anti-Christ if that makes sense.

June may be ending soon, but not our #Pride celebration, and we have another title that is the must read year round for all families, “Prince and Knight” by Daniel Haack, and illustrated by Stevie Lewis.

A fabulous and rhyming fairy tale filled with adventure, bravery, acceptance, and lots of love and support for a prince and his handsome knight!

We are halfway through the year!

According to StoryGraph, one of my most read authors is Adalyn Grace.
The Belladonna series by Adalyn Grace is one of my favorite series thus far this year. Her writing style made it so easy for me to lose myself in the world of Belladonna. I really enjoyed all the characters in the series, and I felt like Adalyn Grace did a fantastic job in making the characters have depth.

If you enjoy romatasy books with a bit of mystery, then this series is for you.
