Funny story this brought to the forefront o my mind; I read the Pet Cemetery too young, I was only like 13 but the librarian knew me, my maturity level, and we thought itd b ok... I wasn't prepared for how much his words can bring things to life, and ended up sleeping in my closet w all the lights on for a whole week! :gig

:gig....

Read some of King's... prefer the movies to the books... for books I prefer Dean Koontz...

Terry Brooks - Scions of Shannara... Mercedes Lackey - Heralds of Valdemar, also the Gryphon Wars done with her husband Larry Dixon... Jennifer Robberson - Chronicles of the Cheysuli and the Sword Dancer series...


Bokks are like a drug... addictive as all get out, lol...


I've read a bunch of Terry Brooks stuff too.... Good stuff
Dean Koontz is good and I have read some Terry Brooke's. Very addictive

I was just barely into double digits when I read The Shining--'twas summer vacation, and I read The Shining downstairs, and was reading Little Women up in my room so I wouldn't have nightmares

Worked, too--though I really didn't like going into the bathroom if the shower curtain was closed for months

Only read one of the Shannara books, don't even remember which one.. Elfstones, maybe? Love Valdemar--spent many, many hours there. Spent a lot of time on Pern, too...

But, more importantly...

LOL...we've got an unbelievably loud chirpy frog in our flower bed. I agree, must be spring.

Locust trees are blooming Iris's blooming at the end of the drive . head is all stopped up . and DD told me to clean the pool and get it up and running . Had to cut the grass three or four times already. But the thing that lets me know for sure the toms are gobbling in the woods and the other morning I watched two young deer run around a hen turkey in the middle of the hay field for what must have thirty minutes . the hen just stood there every now and then they would walk up to her nose to nose and sniff her . She just stood there never saw them do that before . Doesn't top the gold Eagle that landed pretty close to the same spot years ago but it was cool to watch .Yep spring has sprung . I don't know how many of you have every smelled a yellow locust in bloom but it has a lovely fragrance and the blooms are the shape of little white bells .
 
Our irises are blooming too and the columbine is about to pop. I've been mowing, too and had to up the water due to our spring winds.

Comfrey should have had its first cutting already. Better do that tomorrow if the winds die down.

Sword of Truth was just too sappy for me. It was good, and I read the whole series, but it really got sappy sometimes.

I started to read the dark tower, but never got past book 1. I agree it did seem good, but Stephen King is one of those authors you really need to be in the right mind set for, and I wasn't at the time. I do mean to read it someday. It is a sci-fi fantasy series (my favorite) that says time runs in a cycle, at the end of each cycle a hero battles the dark one. As long as the dark one loses the cycle continues. It starts with the hero as a young boy and him being chased, to be turned or killed, by the dark ones followers. There is magic but the Males who can wield magic all go mad so it is dominated by women, they take the powers away from the men, but that eventually kills them. Because he is the hero he also has powers so part of his many problems is slowly sinking into madness. It really is pretty goof, but not quite the same level as Game of Thrones.
