I read My Absolute Darling. It was the most grim and brutal book I have ever read. I loved the descriptions of the surrounding flora and the wild life. Thats all I liked.

I have entered your mind, Neesy!!!Yesterday I bought a new book at Value Village - it's by Kathy Reichs
I like to watch the TV series Bones but this is the first book of hers I've read - it's about a character named Dr. Temperance Brennan and is set in Montreal.
Hardcover, in very good condition and a first edition (not that I collect her books but thanks to kingricefan I look at things like that now!)
I was quite shocked at the scarcity of King books there - the horror section was more or less depleted - there were some Koontz books, etc., but usually there would be a much greater selection of King books - I wonder what is going on?I have entered your mind, Neesy!!!
No, but I recently picked up a copy of Danse Macabre at the Value Village in Unicity. I'm closest to the one on Ellice and Route 90.I was quite shocked at the scarcity of King books there - the horror section was more or less depleted - there were some Koontz books, etc., but usually there would be a much greater selection of King books - I wonder what is going on?

Maybe - I hope it's just a fluke - this is my go to store to look for King books. I may have to go further afield!Maybe they sold a lot for the Christmas holidays as gifts?
...regarding Koontz, I'm doing a referesher on the first novel, so I can seamlessly rejoin our intrepid "rogue"....I finally popped my audiobook cherry!
I had only ever listened to short stories in the audio format, but this week while working night shifts, I gave my full and uninterrupted attention to 1984 and Ready Player One.
Both were fantastic, 1984 had a wow factor in that it was written in '48, almost prophetic in what he wrote in places.
Ready Player One was awesome too, I am a child of the 80's and a full on self confessed videogame and fantasy geek, so this was absolutely brilliant for me. Yes it got cheesey at times and had some (very) convenient plot elements at times but even those seemed like a homage to the films of the time. Loved it. Will Wheaton did a great job on the audiobook too. Gonna have to hunt down a 1st for my collection at some point!
Also finished reading Joe'Hill's Strange Weather too, great little collection this.
Started Koontz's The Whispering Room this morning and quite enjoying slipping back into the world of Jane Hawk once again
