This week's book:
1922
By Stephen King
Sorry this is so late but Wednesday post day was my BDay! It was a fun filled day with quilting, reading, Hotbox pizza, flowers and candy from the hubs and even popping tags at the local GW where I found a Michael Kors purse! Holla at your girl. But back to your weekly book post.
Dangit Netflix! So I was already started reading two other books, kinda couldn't choose what to read for another scary Halloween type of book. Plus I was enjoying finishing some quilts around my birthday and was thinking about taking a week off. Anyway I turn on Netflix and they have another Stephen King adaptation, 1922. Well heck, it's based on one of his short stories (still 131 pages but still short for King), perfect for a quick read and make my weekly deadline (or so I thought).
In my husband's words after watching the trailer, "It looks like his take on A Tell Tale Heart." Which the story is, kind of. But, sadly, this story is like that season of American Horror story where they are all in a hotel and everything is depressing as heck and nothing is scary. The original idea is good enough but I don't know if there was enough for a whole story. I haven't seen the Netflix film yet but I'm hoping it's more thrilling instead of so flipping depressing.
I bought the collection of short stories that 1922 was in and I'm sure I will read the rest of those stories at some point but not right now.
P.S. sorry, this post is even later than I thought it would be. I actually had this written a few days ago, but a sick kindergartner delayed this posting. Hope he gets better soon.
