Happy St. Patrick’s Day! As you might imagine, I am from a very Irish family (surprise, surprise! Rory O’Connor doesn’t exactly sound French). The holiday has nothing to do with this post. If I wanted to try and connect the two, I would tell you that I come from a very Irish family, and likeContinue reading “Stephen King’s Short Stories: A Top Ten List”

Stephen King: A Top Ten List
In case you’ve missed it (and yes, I’ve sort of beat readers over the head with it, but I’m excited – what can I say?), Wendy and I are hosting a Stephen King reading month – King’s March. It just so happens that this week’s top ten prompt, as hosted by The Broke and theContinue reading “Stephen King: A Top Ten List”
Literary Mixtape | The Stand
Do you ever want a modern soundtrack to literary fiction? Yes? Me too. That’s the point of this feature. Whereas some people imagine cinematic montages in their head, I create a soundtrack. Okay, so I actually do both, but I prefer to share my soundtrack. If you curious to see my cast list for StephenContinue reading “Literary Mixtape | The Stand”
All Grown Up: A Top Ten List
Often what we read and fall in love with as children sticks with us long into adulthood – this is true of me, at the very least. While beloved classics of my childhood may not hold up under my more discerning adult scrutiny (ahem, Nancy Drew), that does not mean that I don’t get allContinue reading “All Grown Up: A Top Ten List”
ROLE MODELS: A TOP TEN LIST
I think we can all agree how wonderful and talented Stephen King is. If you can’t, I’m pretty sure you’ve stumbled onto the wrong website. For those who do agree, I think it’s evident that he can create beloved characters – Stu, Franny, Ben, Bev, Danny, Jake, etc. However, he is just as likely toContinue reading “ROLE MODELS: A TOP TEN LIST”
UR BY STEPHEN KING
Although I’d like to think I take the opportunity to fear all inanimate objects equally, some are far more fearsome than others. In particular, I find dark alleys terrifying. I’m not ashamed to admit that I still do the prance-run down a dark alley to get to my car, that I give a wide berthContinue reading “UR BY STEPHEN KING”
Blaze by Richard Bachman
Confession? I have never read Of Mice and Men. I am well aware of how literarily shameful this is. No need to point it out. However, I have read The Grapes of Wrath, East of Eden, and The Log from the Sea of Cortez (the latter of which is best consumed as a sleep aid).Continue reading “Blaze by Richard Bachman”
Thankful: A Top Ten List
I debated whether to take this week’s list seriously or not. I debated even participating (it was not a good day, it involved a broken appliance). The prompt? Things I’m thankful for. I can assure you, at this moment, that my washer is not one of them. But otherwise I’m thankful for a lot ofContinue reading “Thankful: A Top Ten List”
The Colorado Kid by Stephen King
I’d been thinking about reading ‘The Colorado Kid’ by Stephen King for a long time, mostly because Haven is loosely based on this novella. Here’s your moment to ask “What’s been stopping you?” To answer your question, it was the plethora of negative reviews the book has received. Despite my ardor for all things StephenContinue reading “The Colorado Kid by Stephen King”
You Found Me How…? Part III
Who doesn’t love to be found in an unusual way? I certainly do. Here are some of the ways people have found me as of late. Enjoy. Who is drinking with Kanye in the photo she discovered? You know, I really don’t know, but I’m dying to find out. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Flow Chart.Continue reading “You Found Me How…? Part III”
