I finished reading Stephen King’s new book 11/22/63: A Novel the other day and I have to say I really enjoyed it.  Stephen King is hit or miss with me, I enjoyed The Stand and The Dark Tower Series but aside from them have not had much luck with Stephen King stories. 11/22/63: A Novel is a little different from most other Stephen King books because it deals with time travel.  The date 11/22/63 was the day President Kennedy was killed in Dallas, Texas. 11/22/63: A Novel explores what might happen is someone had the opportunity to go back in time and change that event and the repercussions of it.  Being a fan of Sci-Fi stories, Stephen King handled time travel in his own unique way and he handled it very well. I especially enjoyed how he knit  into some of the other stories he has written into 11/22/63: A Novel without letting the story get out of hand. The time travel aspect is handled very well  and the story focuses more on what the repercussions of time time travel are more than the actual act of time travel. I recommend 11/22/63: A Novel to anyone that likes Stephen King books or is a fan of just a good story.

The Hunger Games was such an enjoyable book. I’m looking forward to the movie but, I hope they keep it faithful to the book.

Because of my love of comic books I’m a sucker for novels based on comic books. The The Last Days of Krypton is the story of what happens on Krypton before it is destroyed and baby Superman escapes to Earth and is written by Kevin J. Anderson. Kevin J. Anderson has written many books and a good amount of these books take existing franchises and expand them. He’s done this with Star Wars, Dune, and now Superman. Unfortunately The The Last Days of Krypton was not as good as the they books Anderson has written. The book follows the rise of General Zod as he rises to power from a series of catastrophic events and the life of Jor-El.  These catastrophic events happen so frequently that it becomes ridiculous and Jor-El becomes the boy who cried wolf by the end of the book. If you are comic fan and feel you must read this book do yourself a favor and get it from the library.

Day 11: Downtown

Day 10: Drywall Repairs

When our house was built there was no flashing installed on this window so we noticed it leaking during heavy rain storms after about 10 years of being in the house.  The flashing is now installed and the leak has been stopped.  We finally got someone in to do rip the drywall out, check for damages and repair the drywall.  Good news is no mold and only minor damage to the window sill.
