Unlikely alliances, the annual foot race, and the mystery of Scott’s affliction bring out the best in people who have indulged the worst in themselves and others. When Scott finally understands the prejudices they face–including his own-he tries to help. His new next door neighbors, a lesbian couple, seem to be letting their dogs use his lawn as their toilet, which is entirely too un-neighborly for Scott’s liking.Īfter proving Scott is indeed telling the truth about the dogs, he soon learns that the town of Castle Rock want nothing to do with a married gay couple and are boycotting the couples restaurant ‘Holy Frijole’ to protest. While Bob and Scott continue to wonder around the cause of the weight lose, Scott is dealing with another incident.

Scott enlisted the help of retired doctor Bob Ellis, not to get to the bottom of his mysterious weight loss but more just to share the novelty of the mystery. The biggest oddity though is Scott seems to weight the same amount whether he’s clothed, in his birthday suit, or evening carrying 10 pound dumbbells. But although Scott is losing weight he doesn’t seem to be losing his muscle tone or really looking any different at all.

Have you seen the cover art for this book? It is gorgeous and who doesn’t want to read out of a beautiful book? At less than 150 pages it’s a pretty short read, perfect for helping me get a quick ‘win’ to start my 100 book goal.

Stephen King is a master story-teller and so I felt pretty confident that I would enjoy the book.

I decided to start with this one for 3 reasons. Shocking, I know.įirst up from my January reading list is Elevation by Stephen King. I’ve never done this before, I normally just read whatever I feel like at the moment, which leads me to always buys new books and never clearing out my TBR pile. To help keep me on track, I’ve started to pre-pick my books for each month ahead of time. I’ve broken this down into 8 books and 1 audio book per month, which I feel is pretty doable. One of my goals for the year, which if you read my post on resolutions (see here) you’ll already know, is to read 100 books in 2019. For Christmas this year, I received a ton of books that I had been pining. I mean look at all those books! Shoutout to my sister and mom for most of them! I also have a ton of books on my TBR (to be read) shelf that I’m trying to address before I binge buy all the books from Amazon.
