Began with Basking...A Good Book...Sweet Tea and The Baby, this weekend. Since Mom and Dad and even Big Sis are working on "The Move" I offered to take the little "Prince" for a few hours of Grandma Rose time.
At a little more than a month and a half old, I can put him on a quilt in the floor or his Punkin' Seat- and he pretty much stays in one place.
"Hmmm...there is a car...a clown...and ice cream man and a Blue Umbrella...seems legit..."
"OMG, WOMAN...WTH is WRONG with YOU!!!!!!!!"
Baby:
Note to SELF- Never EVER ask Grandma to read a story when she just started the latest Stephen King Novel!!!"
(Relax...I didn't really read him Mr. Mercedes...)
If I did he would grow up needing therapy and NEVER sleep again!
Which brings us to the book of the week:
Stephen King's:
Mr. Mercedes.
You know what is 1000 times scarier than ghouls and goblins, or Pennywise?
The guy next door.
You know...the quiet one. The one the neighbor describes as
"So quiet you would hardly know he even lived there."
No supernatural hocus pocus in this hefty tome. Just one pure Sociopath and a retired Detective who just happens to have regrets over the "one criminal who got away"...the "one crime left unsolved".
A psychological thriller from beginning to end.
Quick paced. Pulls you in immediately. Some of his best work, right here. A must-read for the Constant Reader and a highly recommended for everyone else. Would make an excellent film!
If you aren't a fan before you start this book...you will be by the time you finish it!
And only
more days until Rose and Idgy's 2014 Summertime Adventure!!!!
GIMY!
(...an Idgy~ism for..."God, I Miss You")
Me too you, hon. Me too you!
