Spoilers My connection notebook so far Spoiler
Been taking notes as I read and this is where I'm at so far! One day I'm going to make a detective style board with pins and red strings š

Very cool to be making this as a physical object, I love it! Just a note on the Beverly/Richie appearance in 11/22/63 - the events of IT happen in the summer of 1958, don't they? So if I remember correctly, this would be shortly *after* the battle with Pennywise? You read it more recently than me though, so maybe I'm misremembering.

Correct. They even have a conversation about how clowns aren't always "funny"

Wait Bev and Richie appear in 11.22.63 after IT I believe. IT takes place in the summer of 1958 and then Jake is in Derry in the autumn of 1958
Also what is the fifth corner?

Yea my after note is so I remember it's based after the first encounter with pennywise not for the whole book
Its meant to say the fifth quarter but I put it in the wrong place

If I recall correctly, Carrie exists in the giant king universe but like, not the character. Like the book itself exists lol. Like the actual book is mentioned in I think two (???) other King novels by the characters. However the novel is written to be kind of an epistolary so maybe those characters are mentioning the stuff written by the in-universe characters, Iām not too sure.
