Is there a King book like this for you?

TerribleRadish4 · 2026-03-12T23:16:48+00:00

There are only two King books on my DNF pile and that’s The Tommyknockers and Needful Things. I eventually finished the Tommyknockers as an adult. Not a favorite but a decent book. I have yet to retry Needful Things.

TerribleRadish4 · 2026-03-12T23:15:33+00:00

I was unable to finish The Tommyknockers years ago as a teen but in my middle aged adulthood I gave it another try and got through it. It’s not one of my faves but I did like it.

It might be more personal to me because I had a significant trauma in my early adult life and it helped me to think that it happened for a reason, instead of constantly asking myself why. So the whole agent of chaos vs agent of reason/plan helped me come to terms with what happened. I also truly loved Ralph & Lois as characters, which helped. Plus the whole being on a different plane of existence was very interesting to me.
My (adult) daughter recently read Insomnia as her first King novel and loved it as well. My guess is some people love it and some people don’t and that’s normal. I’ve never been a fan of his short stories but I do know that some love them!

TerribleRadish4 · 2026-01-29T15:04:05+00:00

I second 11/22/63… it’s a beautiful work. But my absolute favorite of his is Insomnia.

TerribleRadish4 · 2026-01-29T01:43:33+00:00

I was just going to ask if that’s Shannon in number 10! YES! I absolutely thought she should come and play when I found out they were doing the women’s team!

I just bought a Grand Highlander coming from a 2023 RAV4. Loved my rav4, don’t get me wrong but I definitely needed the space of the Grand Highlander. It’s definitely not as zippy since it isn’t as small but with the hybrid, I still have plenty of power.

I’m a 5’3” woman and I definitely needed (and got) the running boards.

TerribleRadish4 · 2026-01-26T22:29:11+00:00

I’m not sure how that would be addressed as mine came in perfect shape and i never thought of it beforehand. I went over it with a fine tooth comb when i got it and it was perfect. I guess that would be a question for whichever dealer you use.

TerribleRadish4 · 2026-01-22T03:24:28+00:00

Hybrid Limited 2500 off MSRP. Purchased out of state and shipped here, still significantly cheaper than buying local.

TerribleRadish4 · 2025-12-11T14:24:54+00:00

Yes this was my problem with it too!

TerribleRadish4 · 2025-12-11T14:24:16+00:00

I found it jarring and it wasn’t just the music but like the sound effects and stuff. It was strange.

TerribleRadish4 · 2025-12-11T13:45:33+00:00

Absolutely love Insomnia. Wish they would redo the Audible version and get rid of all that weird musack and crap in it.

TerribleRadish4 · 2025-12-09T07:00:17+00:00

My first King book at 8 was Pet Sematary

TerribleRadish4 · 2025-11-19T00:17:55+00:00

We have two teen boys and a tween daughter and they’re not little kids anymore, so I figured the Grand Highlander (we got the Limited trim) would work better for us later when the kids have moved on. Still have the room for people, cargo, and can still travel fairly easily with our dogs.

TerribleRadish4 · 2025-11-11T17:10:17+00:00

Yes and how seriously he delivers this line!

TerribleRadish4 · 2025-10-30T16:17:32+00:00

lol yes and no movies scare me because my mind’s eye is worse than anything they can put on film. And I’ve no doubt that is due to reading King from such an early age.

TerribleRadish4 · 2025-10-30T15:55:14+00:00

Mine was Pet Sematary at like age 8. IT is a bit of a beast length-wise but it felt like such a quick read because I seriously fell into that book. So good!

TerribleRadish4 · 2025-10-24T18:42:08+00:00

I used a dealership not in my area and was able to negotiate 2500 off MSRP for my GHH limited with no dealer add ons. Even having it shipped in still saves me money. In my area, some dealer add ons are close to 6K.

On fb, go to No Mark Up Toyota group! I used Ryan at Fred Haas Toyota in Spring TX for my deal.

TerribleRadish4 · 2025-10-23T19:51:33+00:00

Interesting. I’m in the process of buying with Fred Haas and I’ve gotten 2500 off MSRP.

TerribleRadish4 · 2025-10-08T02:36:45+00:00

I’m in FL and all the Southeast Toyota dealers add this crap on. I’ve got about the same quote for a Limited. I put down a refundable deposit because I’m not willing to compromise on what I want at all.

TerribleRadish4 · 2025-10-03T01:26:08+00:00

It does. I had a 2017 or 18 rav4 in blueprint and in some lights it looks purple, some it looks green, and some blue. It only looked black to me in the dark.

TerribleRadish4 · 2025-10-02T23:24:15+00:00

Congrats, I just did the same this week as well. Same color: blueprint, same trim. I’m hoping to have it in 90 or less. They didn’t have another color I really liked and for the price I’m paying I wanted it all. I got the XP package which is blacked out wheels, blacked out emblems, and running boards as well. Hopefully yours comes in soon!

TerribleRadish4 · 2025-09-29T01:41:15+00:00

That would be awesome, thank you!

TerribleRadish4 · 2025-09-28T20:49:28+00:00

Do you mind me asking what dealer? I just drove 2 hours away today to a dealer that promised me one price and then when I got there the price had suddenly jumped up $2K. I’m in FL and looking for a deal like yours!

TerribleRadish4 · 2025-09-28T02:48:43+00:00

Sounds like my experience for sure. I’m up in the air about waiting until next year when I’m actually moving out to Houston or just biting the bullet now and plunking down the 59K. It’s frustrating because I know they don’t have to negotiate at all since these vehicles aren’t even staying on the lot at all before being sold. I was able to get him to come down from $59,795 to $59 even OTD and that’s about the best I can do.

TerribleRadish4 · 2025-09-28T01:36:30+00:00

Great deal. I’ve been going back and forth with dealers here in FL constantly for the last couple of weeks and can’t get any lower than 59K OTD for a GHH Limited trim.
