Just because it’s freakin’ Friday and I got paid Book Haul. Let me tell you, I be out of the house by 11:30am every other Friday to handle some business. Once that’s done, I hit up bookstores while the traffic is low. And today, here’s what I got…
1. The Gunslinger by Stephen King. Tried to read this thing back in 2008–per the urging of a co-worker. I couldn’t get into it, and eventually sold my copy. Flash-forward eleven years later; I think I’m finally ready for it.
2. The Institute by Stephen King. While I stopped buying Stephen King books upon their releases (mainly because of shelf space), I ended up bending to The Institute. I had it on hold at my library. However, being number 15 in line didn’t sound fun. This was one of those purchases where I knew I would think about the book until I bought my own copy. So I just did it. Plus, I love the cover's composition! And it sounds interesting. Maybe if it’s good I’ll go back and check out some of his latest releases that I’ve skipped over the past few years.
