Stephen King Book • Page 74

Is everyone going to be reading Holly as soon as it comes out?

 

Lol

 

Im def gonna buy it this week but might hold off reading it right away.

 

Picked up Holly tonight! Putting it on my bookshelf reminded me that most of his recent books have some damn good covers.

 

I just started. She's so great. He really doesn't waste time making his thoughts on anti-maskers/vaxxers/whatever very clear.

 

I still need to read End of Watch and If It Bleeds before I get to Holly

 

About halfway through Needful Things right now and am loving it.

Picked up the movie on 4K. Haven’t ever seen it and am looking forward to watching both versions when I finish the book.

 

still need to read Billy Summers and Fairy Tale. Been slacking hard on my reading

 

I might have written this in here but I was not big on Fairy Tale. Beginning and end had me invested but everything else was not great IMO. Was happy to get on the Stephen King Reddit to see I wasn’t alone feeling that way because most of the buzz around the book feels positive.

 

I wanted to like it as a huge king and fantasy fan, but it was mid for me

 

I loved Fairy Tale until around the 2/3 point when a major plot moment happened. It lead me to the Dark Tower, but book 7 has been taking all summer. Hoping to find some fall motivation to read so I can check out Holly.

 

really like seeing the connections laid out like this

 

Overdue follow-up!

Bangor was so cool. I love walking around scenic small towns and this was worth the car ride from Portland. We cherry picked some inspirational locations and I picked up Salem’s Lot which was a huge blind spot for me. I just finished it and absolutely LOVED it.

 

This time of the year and I’m itching hard to re-read Salem’s Lot.

Might have to say Needful Things and Salem’s Lot are my two favorites of his, along with of course and obviously It.

 

Those are my top 3, as well

 

Noticed Rose Red is on Hulu now. I plan on watching that this week. Anyone seen it?

 

I saw that too and am excited to watch it again. I watched it to death as a kid and haven't seen it in years. I can't imagine it holds up but hopefully the nostalgia will be warm enough.

 

I watched a couple weeks ago and its bad, but in a fun way.

 

I’m right about 100 pages into Holly.

 

There’s an Alamo Drafthouse near me so I went after work tonight and saw The Shining. That movie really hums in a theater with surround sound. What a ride. It’s one thing to see it on TV but you really need to see it on a big screen if you can.

 

For some reason Bag Of Bones is one of the 2-3 King books I haven’t read and I finally am getting around to it. I had heard bad things but I’m midway through and I am enjoying so far. Not as slow as I’d heard!

 

Its good!

 

It was one of the first King books I read and is still one of my favorites.

 

Bag of Bones is one of his best imo

 

Yeah Bag of Bones is absolutely wonderful. I think it's still in my top 5.
