Bingo Markers

 

 

 

 

For the called squares I haven't read, I will use the tombstone.

For the squares I read that haven't been called, I will use the BOO!

For the called squares that I finished reading, I will use both together.

 

I'm so excited to start reading early. I'm going with Castle Hangnail as it is a Sunshine State award nominated book that I was planning to read anyway. I'm planning to use it for the free space in the middle. :)

 

Good Luck Everyone & Have Fun!!!!!!!!!

Great idea- reading to the children affected by Hurricane Harvey

Reblogged from: My Never Ending List

Read or have children read books out loud and then post them here.  What a terrific idea!

Wow, I can't believe it's over...

Review:

The Dark Tower  - George Guidall, Stephen King

 

 

And...

 

did that really just happen???

 

This series has been part of my life for months and I can't believe it's over. Though there is another book from somewhere in the middle that I still need to read: Wind Through the Keyhole. I think it tells some of Roland's early adventures.

 

I loved the series and wished it would never end. Part of the ending really pleased me and the other part made me a bit angry. Of course, King knew that would be the case and warned me before the final bit of the story. But, I didn't listen - I had to see what was going to happen. 

 

I heard the movie is sort of a continuation of the series, and I guess I now understand how that could be (sort of). Of course, I haven't seen the movie yet and now it looks like I will have to wait for it to come out digitally, so...

 

I don't have much else to say except if you are a Stephen King fan or a fan of epic fantasies, you should give this series a try.
