PINK by M.A. Wilder
fast-paced
3.75
The Website Series of short stories continues with book #4.
Pink is the man who comes to rescue Jaquie, her baby Nina, and her senior pup.
It's a super fast-moving story with inta-love and mention of abuse off page.
I like this author's writing and hope to read some longer stories from her. The Website Series stories are all very similar, yet different enough.
4-star

The Demon Next Door by Bryan Burrough
3.0
This was just an ok book for me, and maybe partially because of the narrator. I didn't feel like someone so "upbeat" should be narrating the story of rape and murder.
I got this one on a whim, not my typical genre, but thought I'd give it a listen. It isn't horrible, just not great.

The Shining by Stephen King
5.0
I have to admit, I don't think this is one I ever read before! Even though I've "read" most of his novels in my younger days, I'm revisiting some in the audiobook format. This one I couldn't recall ever reading, and I'm so glad I did. I do love the original movie, but knowing that Mr. King wasn't a fan, I could see why, AFTER reading the book. There is so much inside of the Torrence family that is left out of the original film. The struggles with Jack's alcohol addiction are just barely touched on in the movie, yet are a recurring strong line in the book. It really adds a lot of depth to what is going on, when it's brought in that way.
As for the audio portion, I was quite pleased with the narrator. As a lot of audiobook lovers will tell you, the narrator can make or break it quite quickly, and Campbell Scott did a great job on this one.
