Oh geez, I am definitely sucked in!

So I think you guys will find this amusing. My last 6 reads have all been SK. I started on my current kick with IT to prepare for 11/22/63. After that, I read the Stand, followed by DT 1-3. For the past year, my mom and I have been sharing books and comparing notes on reads and all, and I have abandoned her on this journey (except I did get her to read 11/22/63). I promised her and myself, I would take a break from SK and go back to Michael Connelly for a while and catch up to her...

I started Lost Coyote last night, and read three chapters. Really like it so far. This morning, I woke up thinking about the ka-tet. Wondering about the riddles on the way to Topeka.

Tonight I went to read, picked up the Connelly...and just....could...not...do....it!!!!

Started Wizards and Glass about a half hour ago and broke away just long enough to tell you guys for a laugh.

M-O-O-N spells "I am hooked on DT!!"

Welcome to the wonderful world of the Tower. You will find many here who are addicted. As Eddie tells Jake, "All things serve the Tower, even the beams; did you think you would be different."

And may you have twice the number.

Its just funny because I can't say that book three was my favorite and that I didn't even think a couple of times that I really needed to get back to my pile of other books waiting (short pile because they are all on my Kindle). But even though parts of 3 didn't entirely captivate me like book 2 did, the overarching story arc still is.....

And I really want a billy bumbler. Cant stop thinking about a world where a housepet could be that intelligent.

Is there an "official" picture of Oy? In any of the books? I saw some artists renditions of him online but I don't think they are illustrations...

When Steve saw the illo Michael Whelan did for book 7, he got very excited and said "That's Oy! That's just how I pictured him!"

I've cropped the picture but here's the one I'd mentioned.

If you picture a Corgi with rings around its eyes, you'd be on the right track.
