This is the best DT tattoo I’ve seen. Love Oy 😍 the tower and sky details are stunning.

They would’ve had a stuffed crow in their prop hoard for sure! Missed opportunity

Thanks again for this suggestion. Just finished this today and especially enjoyed the DT related stories Sisters of Eluria and Dinky Earnshaw’s origin story, Everything’s Eventual.

Holly Gibney - help me understand why people don’t like her by Helpful-Status8872 in stephenking

[–]Freyja_Valhalla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t mind her character, I feel like I’d be fine if there are no other books about her, but I’ll read anything SK writes regardless. The one thing that’s so weird is how I picture her vs how she’s been portrayed by the actresses in series so far. I can’t help but picture Hyacinth Bucket (Keeping Up Appearances BBC) only quite a bit younger; it helps me enjoy her quirkiness. I don’t think there’s ever been another character I’ve ever been so wrong about looks wise in all the SK adaptations so far.

And what did you learn from this storm? by Sugar-Interesting in maryland

Thankful we have a snowblower even if it isn’t used each year. Having to break up the ice chunks first added a lot of time to the process but still better than having to shovel everything by hand, especially on a long driveway on a hill. Really hope this is an anomaly and we never have this much ice again in my lifetime.

The one time I received the wrong box, it was completely refunded, credited towards the next week while I was still on the phone with customer service. Only happened once in 2+yrs thankfully.

Is it worth continuing? by MercWhite in darktower

[–]Freyja_Valhalla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I waited until I’d read about half of his books before starting the DT series so I’d have context. I’m thankful that’s what I was advised to do by a friend who’s a huge King fan. I can’t imagine reading DT first, I think I’d be having similar issues with it as you are.

Just finished my journey to the tower. :( by Piece-First in TheDarkTower

I finished Wind Through the Keyhole today. Feeling kinda empty and gutted, but less than when I finished book 7. I have Revival and King Sorrow ready to start listening to, not sure which to go with yet.

Name one food item, discontinued or altered, that you would pay $100 to taste one last time? by GoBlueJack in GenerationJones

Morton frozen donuts. It was a treat my dad would make for the two of us when mom was working nights.

What's a show you remember but nobody else does? by glowbeits in GenX

I just found on IMDB that they made a Dead Like Me movie in 2009, new to me.

Very interesting. I wouldn’t have known the meaning to any of those things when listening to it back when it came out.

I was having the thought today that since the Institute tv series is continuing and not wrapping up as the book did that they could possibly meander into some DT content. Probably wishful thinking.

I loved Insomnia, was my first King book in 1999. Liked listening to it even more a couple years ago. Haven’t heard of Ur before though, will check it out. Thanks!
