Since probably middle school I never really read for pleasure until this February when I read Carrie and for some reason came to the realization that books can be fun and since have read about 20 books this year a good handful of which have been Stephen king books and obviously I knew about Stephen king like culturally but I feel like a good amount of the conversation around him is negative for some reason and after reading and watching his work and listening to him speak I don’t really understand why because I think he is a fantastic writer and in his interviews he just comes across as such a nice interesting guy
All the books I’ve read of his have been scary but they’ve also been fun but now I’m about 2/3 through pet sematary and theres really no fun elements whatsoever and I think it is such a fantastic sad scary disturbing book that I feel like everyone should read it, I can’t put it down
It will make you cry though so be prepared for that
Also I haven’t seen the original movie but the more recent one I saw and remember liking actually so im excited to watch the original after reading

I’m reading my first horror novel (Pet Sematary) and am really enjoying it! Perfectly spooky so far and while I’ve always said I don’t enjoy horror, books are the way to do it because I can consume it at the pace I wanna- something scary about to happen and I’m not ready? I can walk away until I am. Very slay

I have about 90 pages left and it’s a very long book but trust me once you start reading you’ll get through it quickly because it’s just so good
It’s about a teacher in 2011 who is told to go through a portal to the fifties and live there in order to prevent jfk’s assassination and it is So incredibly interesting
It’s Stephen king but it’s not horror so it’s just his super fun casual style but with such a cool historical fictiony premise and it is so so good

I didn't know this book existed before I purchased it. I'm a slow reader so I don't read that much and this is my first Stephen King novel. I'm only about 25% through but it's really something.

Peaches, plums, nectarines, cherries, etc.
It’s mind blowing that something so nice can be naturally occurring
Just beautiful fruits (look at these plums) and just so delicious even when they’re not technically in season
I could (and do) eat five peaches a day
Also peach cobbler! Haven’t heard of it but need to try plum cobbler I feel like that’d be crazy

I got a humidifier at target cause it’s getting dry and that’s something I would typically overlook but for some reason I remembered the spongebob humidifier my parents used to always put in my room and I thought about how many things just for like comfort or health that I stopped doing that were just like everyday things my parents did when I was a kid

for the most part every movie I see, book I read, meal I eat, album I listen to, place I travel to is the greatest thing I’ve ever experienced
(Maybe it just means I’m easy to please but I don’t mind because it leads to many enjoyable experiences!)
