Aurora Dimitre's Books and Rambling

 

 If I'm speaking realistically, IT by Stephen King is one of the books I've read the most times. There have been years when I've read it three, four times in a year... if I look at Goodreads, I have read this book at least ten times. Which is a lot of times for any book, let alone a book that is roughly 1100 pages long.  And so right now I'm re-reading it. It came up in the book wall, I was like hell yeah, it's taking me a while but it is 1100 pages long so I can take a few days on it, and goddam does it feel like home . I know these kids so, so well; so many scenes in this book are so, so good.

And like, yeah, those were great adaptations.  I also love the 90s miniseries, to be clear.  But this book. This book! God it's great! It's got fucking everything! Everything you would want from a horror novel! And so

I chose this. I did my randomizing thing and it gave me an Aughts Boys book and I was like, nah, I'm doing Tinon . Who AM I??? My one problem is that I mostly want to work on Guillaume. It's all i want to do, is write Guillaume. It's one that I feel like, this is the one! This is it! This Lord of the Flies homage! Or, rather, homage to the Lord of the Flies fandom of like 2011! I love it so much. Guillaume has three parts; or, it will: I'm on part two. Part one is over, part two is island shit, and I have the POV settled for that part, and part three will probably be the shortest but still a good time, and it'
