Just a Peek . . .

Welcome. Here you will find posts on just about anything, from the mundane to the insane, the outlandish to the sublime. I include a wide selection of quotes, images and music in most of my posts. If I am unable to present new content, I rely on that old favorite, the reblog. Be forewarned: I am a left-leaning, liberal, feminist who does not hesitate to speak my mind. Enjoy.

Doctor Sleep by Stephen King
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I haven't read a Stephen King book in a very long time, but I was so excited when I heard that he was writing a sequel to The Shining, which was my favorite King book. Doctor Sleep does not disappoint. Even though we haven't heard from the main character in many, many years, King manages to make his history completely believable. I love the inclusion of The True Knot, who are so wholly evil that they make the perfect antagonist. This is Stephen King at his pinnacle.

If you love classic King, you will not be disappointed in this book.
