My Holiday Time Killer

In American logic, once Thanksgiving's behind us, Christmas has officially begun, and this year it has come way too soon. Now, however, is an appropriate time to be having the M&M's They Do Exist ad airing every hour - Black Friday is over. With nothing to do other than to do schoolwork and to watch Deck the Halls and Elf every weekend, I should associate these acts of uselessness with a bit of reading, just to make sure that my brain isn't being lazy while my body is. I decided to entertain myself with a little more of Stephen King. I went to the library and was originally intending to check out Doctor Sleep, the official sequel to The Shining, which I read last Spring. All of the copies (there were tons of them) were either checked out already, or on hold. So, I decided to go with another one of his new releases, the Hard Case Crime thriller, Joyland. Reading the back cover and the front cover captions, I have figured out that an amusement park worker has to face his ex-girlfriend--and many worse fears. I shall give updates on the book over the holiday season (in which Christmas is the last holiday left, I assume). Stay tuned!
