Not really. I figure your wife is going to make you wait to read it until she has so that will be anguish enough.
So you pass up the opportunity to add even more anguish into my life. You've just becoming an old softy... aren't you?
Crap... I forgot how good your memory is. And here I though nobody listened to anything I say. That'll teach me for sharing.Not really. I figure your wife is going to make you wait to read it until she has so that will be anguish enough.
I'm still surprised they've let you live this long.......I experience the same phenomena from the womenfolk in my household if I Inadvertently wake any of them too early in the morning.
They’ve come to the unfortunate realization that without me there is nobody to run all their errands, put toilet paper on the empty holders (although I do put in on backwards to drive them crazy), and provide shuttle services.I'm still surprised they've let you live this long.......
I'd have to kill ya based on the backwards toilet paper, alone.They’ve come to the unfortunate realization that without me there is nobody to run all their errands, put toilet paper on the empty holders (although I do put in on backwards to drive them crazy), and provide shuttle services.
She even posted the patent on her FB page over the weekend to show how it is supposed to be done, and complained that I refuse to believe the truth because I was brought up the wrong way. Hopefully she'll never read this.I'd have to kill ya based on the backwards toilet paper, alone.
We usually get/got a new King book in September.Moderator I have a question about the Beauties publication date. Would you by any chance have any knowledge of the reason for the late September release date? The reason I ask is I had inquired before about what was, to me at least, an odd release date of November 3 for The Bazaar of Bad Dreams. The reason I found that odd was because it was just after Halloween...why not release close to, but before, Halloween is what I was thinking at the time (for obvious reasons). Are the release dates for books determined in part by what else is being released at that time, similar to movies? (In other words, maybe one date is too crowded with other high-profile releases to launch a book with a high probability of success.) I'm glad we will have this book out before that holiday. Not sure if it will be geared toward that holiday or not (although it sort of sounds like it will be), but I think being able to read new material by King (and his son, of course) in the month of October is something that cannot be beat. Sounds like a great concept (I see a streaming series option for it, maybe even before publication). Also, do you happen to know if it is a long book?

The publisher is the primary driver of when a book is released but a September date isn't unusual. There are a lot of factors that go into it including what others are coming out around the same time and more importantly, production time. The cover art is just now being finalized which is why we haven't posted anything yet. I don't know if this is a firm number, but the page count is currently 720 pages.Moderator I have a question about the Beauties publication date.

Now I'm going to have to ask for a few days off when it's published so I can immerse myself in this one!The publisher is the primary driver of when a book is released but a September date isn't unusual.

I remember King talking about a short story that he thought about writing after being at the airport. His wife apparently went to the bathroom and as King stood waiting for her another man's wife went into the bathroom. So King and this guy stood outside waiting for their wives to come out. King said a plot occurred to him at that point about what would happen if women going into the bathroom but never came out (or something along those lines) but he could never figure it out himself. That sounds a bit along the lines of the plot here.
I think Steve is past the time of holding up Owen in his arms.I really hope we get a new author photo. Love king, but am tired of the same two they have been recycling. But when you put out two books a year.. why shoot for a new picture.
I think Owen and Stephen should re-create the father son photo in difernt seasons? Or sckeltion crew. That whould be awsome
