reading all books referenced on Gilmore girls

Or in English... GOODBYE! Well, I failed. I still have not finished Don Quixote. I'll join his crazy windmill-fighting ass again once I'm back from BearAllen's Mediterranean Adventure™. But for now, I'm allowing myself, for eight WHOLE days, to read whatever I want to read. It'll be glorioooooooooooous!

A few years back, my sister and I flew to Denver, Colorado to visit our mom. While there, we visited a beautiful, old hotel at the foothills of the Rockies in Estes Park, Colorado.

Just thinking of little Danny Torrance screeching that word is enough to send chills down your spine. And THAT is why I believe Stephen King to be one of the best authors ever to grace us with the crazy ass shit that goes through his mind. So, tuck in for a lonely winter at The Overlook Hotel and grab your copy of The Shining by Stephen King. #stephenking #theshining
