2016 Book Challenge: {A Book That Intimidates You...}

~Mr Mercedes~
Stephen King

As I have said before, I mostly put this book in this section because it was the only one left and I was already reading the book. :) I would be lying if I didn't admit that it was Oddly believable and realistic, but  that is all the point of Stephen King's writing. 

I had the opportunity to hear The King speak in person. It was completely incredible and it made me really respect him as an author. I own so many of his books that I am unsure I will be able to keep up.

I thought that this book was very well written and it definitely kept my attention. It was disgusting to realize that there are individuals that think like The Mercedes Killer and find Joy and Pleasure in the pain that they inflict on others. But it was also beautiful to see how good conquers evil and any other cheesy line that can be inserted. 

I can't wait to read the other two in the series! :)

{2016 Book Challenge}

My sister, Sandee, started a book challenge this year that she tried to get me to join in on but I was ornery and said that I didn't have time for such things. (To be fair, I was in my last semeseter of Grad School and had lots of other reading that I should have been doing and wasn't.) Ha. Now that I am out of school, I have found that there is a whole other amount of time to do things that I have been missing for, I don't know, about 20 years. :) Reading has been something that I love to do, but I have a tendency to not like it when it is something that is required of me. (Me? Resistive to things that I'm told I have to do??! I would NEVER! :) )
Anyway, I was finally getting to the point where I was interested in reading again. I was currently reading Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King when I decided that I would do this book challenge. To be quite honest, the book doesn't intimidate me at all. It is pretty realistic and creepy and gross and beautiful all at the same time. In true Stephen King fashion! :) But it was the only slot that I had left and I figured I should be able to count the only other book that I have read in 2016.
I thought that I would share the Challenge with you all! Maybe you want to join. It's only about a book every couple weeks at this point. If I can do it! So can you! :)
