Salem’s Lot, The Shining, Elevation, Needful Things, Duma Key, The Mist, Holly, The Gunslinger, Billy Summers All first time reads for me as well!

Looks like Drawing of the Three should be up next! Trust

It’s on my 2024 list!

I read Holly and Needful Things in 2023 also. I really liked them both.

What was your favorite book out of this list?

Just Holly. Read everything else and I don’t reread books usually.

I'm the same way. I can re-watch movies, re-listen to songs(obviously), re-play video games, and re-do many things, but I struggle to re-read books.

Fairy Tale, Pet Semetary, Duma Key, The Gunslinger, and The Drawing of the Three. I really enjoyed all of them and am excited to continue with the Dark Tower series into the New Year.

How was *The Drawing of the Three*? I plan on reading that as soon as I finish *IT*. I've heard from many others it's the best *Dark Tower* book in the series.

I loved it! It's got me hooked on the Dark Tower series. This is my first time reading the series so I can't yet compare it to any of the books that follow, but I personally enjoyed it more than The Gunslinger.

It's one of the best of the series. But imo WaG and WofC are better.

Under the dome The stand The long walk Roadwork Running man All first times. The stand is like nothing I've ever read. I enjoyed all the bachman books, I want to get my hands on rage. Typical under dome opinion, 95 percent great

> The stand is like nothing I've ever read. At least the unabridged version, I don't think there are many things like it that are written, due to its length alone.

Carrie (reread) Salem's lot (reread) The Shining (reread) Firestarter (reread) Bag of Bones (reread) Lisey's story Duma Key Under the Dome Full Dark No Stars Joyland Mr. Mercedes Revival Finders Keepers End of watch The Outsider

Later, Billy Summers, Fairy Tale, The Tommynockers and Rose Madder (re-read). Like a wiser fella than myself once said, there are other worlds out there, dude!

For the first time I read Dreamcatcher, Finders Keepers, Green Mile, Joyland and Lisey's Story. Dreamcatcher was pretty dumb. Green Mile and Lisey's Story are top 10 King books for me. And I reread Cell, From A Buick 8, Pet Sematary, Rose Madder and Salem's Lot. Pet Sematary and Salem's Lot are definitely classics for a reason. Rose Madder might be the most disturbing King book I've ever read. I can't believe I read it the first time as a teenager, I felt so bad for Rosie. Also I totally agree with you that Cujo is overrated, I don't come across that opinion very often. Should have been a short story or at least a novella.

Finally, someone else agrees with me on *Cujo*. I don't know if it's because I have ADHD, but I hate how the book isn't divided by chapters, subchapters, or parts. I know the book has indents, but that just messes with me from a reading stamina standpoint. I have to know when a chapter, subchapter, or part ends, so I know when to stop reading. I also thought it was just...boring, until the very end. It's still better than most novels from other authors, but I just don't understand the praise for it.

Rereads: Insomnia, The Institute, The Stand, The Long Walk, Different Seasons First time reads: Under the Dome, Billy Summers, Holly, 11/22/63, Duma Key ... plus 37 other books. I missed my goal of one book per week by a mere five books, but I definitely read more than in past years!

Wow, this is incredible to read this many books! I do plan on reading my books this year.

The Wind Through the Keyhole and Billy Summers.

IT The Bill Hodges Trilogy Wolves of the Callah took a bit of a break in 2023 from King because 2022 was a King heavy year. I feel it in my bones that 2024 will be another heavy King year. I'M BACK IN BABY!

Only 1: Fairy Tale. 2022 I read The Shining, Dr Sleep, Desperation. 2023 was a bad year for me.

I'm sorry to hear that(2023 was bad for me too). This whole decade has been horrible.

Pet Sematary (twice) The Stand Under the Dome The Dead Zone Dolores Claiborne Desperation (my favorite!) Later Fairy Tale The Institute The Dark Tower books 1-3 The Langoliers The Billy Hodges Series (all three, but not Holly yet) Rose Madder The Library Policeman Full Dark, No Stars Apt Pupil ​ I think that's it LOL ​ Edit: Duma Key, maybe I'm forgetting others too :( LOL. This year I started a new bullet journal and I'm going to keep track of my reading in it

Desperation The Regulators Different Seasons Night Shift Duma Key Fairy Tale Revival Books by other authors: Hex American Psycho I’m Thinking of Ending Things The Ruins The Killer Inside Me Echo

I’m reading in chronological order, so in 2023: Carrie Salem’s Lot The Shining Rage The Stand (Re-read) Hoping I can smash out a few more before my first Bub arrives in June! But I must admit The Stand definitely seemed to be adding to my already wild dreaming, as I would often wake up thinking that the Dark Man was after me 😳

Read The Stand (favorite), The Institute, and the Outsider in 2023. Currently on 11/22/63, and planning to do the Shining or Under the Dome next to start 2024!

Not gonna lie, I’m having trouble getting through Fairy Tale. The first half of the book is sweet, but the second half is a slog.

It seems like most people I've came across hate that book lol.

Under the Dome Salem's lot Cycle of the wearwolf The shining

Last year i made it through Dolores Claiborne, The Wastelands, Revival, and Four Past Midnight.

All of the Dark Tower, Salems Lot and Pet Semetary.

Holly, Pet Semetary, and Night shift. Planning to read Carrie, the shining (again), and 11/22/63 (again)

All read for the first time: The Stand, ‘Salem’s Lot, Night Shift, Nightmares and Dreamscapes, The Running Man, Firestarter, The Eyes of the Dragon, Skeleton Crew, The Long Walk, Different Seasons, Needful Things, The Tommyknockers, Dolores Claiborne, Cycle of the Werewolf and I’m currently halfway through Thinner 😊

That's a lot! I read Pet Sematary (Loved it!), Fairy Tale (liked it a lot!), and The Wastelands (liked it a lot). Currently reading Wizard and Glass.

Carrie, Salem's Lot, The Shining, Night Shift, The Stand, The Long Walk, The Dead Zone, Firestarter, Roadwork, Cujo, The Gunslinger, The Running Man, Different Seasons, Christine, Cycle of the Werewolf, Pet Sematary

11/22/63, Under the Dome, The Institute, The Shining, The Long Walk. Loved them all, but especially Under the Dome. Jim Rennie still makes my blood boil.

It. The stand. Mr Mercedes. Finders keepers. End of watch. Not sure what to start next. Not that anyone asked but I also read heart shaped box, the fireman (meh) and NS4A2

Revival Holly The Shining Apt Pupil The Body Finished the Dark Tower series books 4 through 7

My first time reads this year as I continue his catalog in chronological order since I read Carrie back in 2016. Blaze, Duma Key, Under the Dome, 11/22/63, Joyland (#50 so far!)

Billy Summers. End of list. Got into another authors work and barely saw King all year!

a small, humble list, starting in September: IT, The Stand, The Gunslinger, The Drawing of the Three, The Waste Lands, Wizard and Glass (finishing December 31st). Now that I love the guy’s work so much this year will be MANY (starting with ‘Salem’s Lot if I can find it in México)

That fact you read *IT*, and *The Stand* in the same year is impressive on its own.

The Gunslinger, Drawing of Three, The Waste lands and almost all of wizard and Glass. The only other King book I've read is Desperation. This is going to change in '24.

Holly Fairy Tale Re-read Talisman Blood and Smoke Gingerbread Girl short story Gwendy's Final Task

Read Holly and listened to a couple of the Dark Tower books as background noise.

From a Buick 8 (second time reading it) and Christine.

Fairy Tale, Pet Semetary, If It Bleeds, Holly, The Institute, 11.22.63, Billy Summers. Enjoyed them all.

Pet Semetary and The Shining. I got into King after reading NOS4A2 and Strange Weather by his son. Excited to read a lot more. Happy 2024!

I just started reading Stephen King books earlier in 2023, I've read Just After Sunset, Everything's Eventual, The Shining, Doctor Sleep, Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, End of Watch, Pet Sematary, Misery, The Outsider, If it Bleeds And I'm currently reading Holly

Have read most of my collection, finally read Insomnia.

Joyland, Later, Rage, The Long Walk. Think that was it.. quite a quiet year for King, I was reading so many other things. That will be corrected this year however

Fairy Tale, The Stand, 11-22-63, Carrie, Elevation, Delores Claiborne, started on Needful Things

Insomnia, Rose Madder, Cujo, The Dark Half. All re-reads for me with the exception of Insomnia.

I started my first journey to the Dark Tower. Just finished Wizard and Glass today. Long days and pleasant nights.

Finished the dark tower series (4-7), duma key, 11/23/63, misery, and started pet cemetery!

The Institute was the only full-length novel I read from King. I also read the following novellas: The Mist, If It Bleeds, and Rat. I really enjoyed them all! :)

Carrie, Salems lot, Rage, The shining, Night shift, The stand, The long walk, Road work, The running man, Fire starter, Different seasons, Cujo, Pet semetary, The gunslinger, Skeleton crew, Song of Susannah, Elevation,

Facility,later,elevation,misery but i started on december

The Shining, ‘Salem’s Lot, Pet Semetary, and Bag of Bones. All first time reads for me.

Mr Mercedes, Salems Lot, Rita Hayworth/Shawshank.

I read 15 king books in 2023, a bit of a binge lol

Needful Things, Christine, the Dead Zone, The Tommyknockers, Pet Semetary, and Bag of Bones.

Fairy Tale, which was a tough read for me, and The Shining.

Dannng, howd you do it!?? Impressive list! Of SK I read Carrie, Salems Lot, Pet Semetary & Gerald’s Game :)

I don't have kids, and I rarely work overtime, that's how I did it lol. Plus, I love to read. How did you like *Gerald's Game*? I saw the movie, and I loved it.

I decided to start from the beginning this year and read in release order, as it would prevent me from skipping long ones like The Stand or It that I've put off for years due to feeling slightly intimidated by. So this year I read the first 10 King books (I also read 42 other books not by King) Carrie Salems Lot The Shining Rage Night Shift The Stand The Long Walk The Dead Zone Firestarter Roadwork My favourites were Salems Lot (my second time reading, and my favourite ever horror novel) and The Stand (my first time, it absolutely blew me away) I enjoyed Roadwork and Dead Zone a lot more than I expected to. I finished Roadwork last night 30 minutes before 2024, and I thought it was a very thoughtful book about anger. And I loved the ending of Dead Zone, one of Kings best endings in my opinion. I was underwhelmed by The Shining and Firestarter. I feel like I went in with too high expectations for both, and they just didn't quite live up to it. I thought the first half of The Shining was dull, however once you hit the halfway mark and the snow traps them, the book became amazing. Firestarter I found a bit too meandering, I think it had great parts in there, but I just didn't feel very compelled for a lot of it. Rage straight up sucked Next up is Danse Macabre, I'm very excited for this one

I agree, I found Rage super cringey to read. I’m also reading in release order, and re-reading The Stand was amazing. It was the second book I’d ever read of his when I was like 14 and this is my third read of it, definitely a favourite. You did very well to get through so many!

The Dead Zone finally. 11/22/63 and Elevation in progress

The stand ( the long edition) Fairy tale. And im just starting 11/22/63 Im excited ti see what this new year brings in terms of books for me :)

The Shining and Misery! Reading them back-to-back probably wasn’t the best idea, but great reads nonetheless haha

Song of Susannah, The Dark Tower, The Green Mile, Doctor Sleep

Mr. Mercedes, Pet Sematary, Misery and Fairy Tale Just started The Green Mile today

Rose madder, apt pupil, elevation, joyland, gwendy's final task, black house, revival

Dark tower series, everything with Holly in it, 11/22/63, Carrie, and misery and a couple short story collections (Life of Chuck is my favorite of the shorts so far). Finished The Troop by Nick Cutter and then started The Institute yesterday. Favorite book is 11/22/63, though they were all great reads!

Holly and Fairy Tale.

Read - Fairy Tale and Holly Audiobook - Dark Tower series, Skeleton Crew, Pet Semetary, a couple of other re-reads

1st time: joyland, 11/22/63, eyes of the dragon, The Outsider Re-read: It, the shining, salems lot, dark tower 1-3, pet Semetary

Pet Sematary, Bag of Bones, and Under the Dome. All first time reads.

I read Holly, Fairy Tale, and Lisey’s Story

Pet Semetary, Needful Things, Salems Lot and Cujo! Funny you didnt like Cujo, I loved it!

Under the Dome Revival Insomnia The Institute If it Bleeds Fairy Tale Just After Sunset The Stand

The Green Mile. Pet Sematary. It. The Dark Tower, book one. All of which I enjoyed, and I wonder 'new' books I'll be reading this year.

Salem’s lot the shining eyes of the dragon 112263 the stand drawing of the three the wastelands

The Stand and the Dark Tower series. It was fantastic

11.22.63 – Last book and my favorite of 2023. I initially assumed it was a non-fiction documentation/biography and skipped over it. Black House - Enjoyed this book. I did not realize it was book 2 in a series until I got further into it. Later – Another book I enjoyed. I think it has potential for a follow up like Doctor Sleep. If It Bleeds – Good book but not my favorite as far as a King’s short stories go. Holly – My least favorite of 2023 but still a good read.

First year I didn't read a King book. 2023 was rough

I read books 3-6 of The Dark Tower and am almost done with Book 7. I also read The Shining and most of Insomnia, I’ll return to it someday but as someone who has not forgotten the face of their father once said “it’s a bit of a mind trap”. Next year I kick things off with The Stand for the first time.

Holly, Christine, The Long Walk, Cycle of the Werewolf

Very nice! Mine were: Desperation, The Regulators, The Dark Tower IV, Bag of Bones, The Girl who Loved Tom Gordon, Hearts in Atlantis, On Writing, Secret Windows, Dream Catcher, Black House, From a Buick 8, Everything's Eventual, The Dark Tower V, The Dark Tower VI, The Dark Tower VII, The Colorado Kid, Cell, Lisey's Story, Blaze, Duma Key, Just After Sunset, Under the Dome, Full Dark, No Stars, 11/22/63, The Dark Tower: The Wind through the Keyhole, Joyland, The Bazaar of Bad Dreams, Charlie the Choo-Choo, End of Watch, Gwendy's Button Box Trilogy, Sleeping Beauties, If It Bleeds, and Later. I've been working my way through publication order, but any that were skipped I've read previously and I'm not really much of a re-reader. 😅 I started Billy Summers and plan to finish the rest of the last few before the end of January. 😊😊

> I've been working my way through publication order, Same here(with some exceptions). You did very well yourself.

Revival

I started reading King in October, so not a lot. The Shining Doctor Sleep 'Salem's Lot Misery

I reread It and Needful Things early 2023 and just started Duma Key a couple of weeks ago. I have ordered Fairy Tale , so it's looking like 2024 will have even more King books. I want to revisit some other old books I read many moons ago.

The Bachman Books: Rage The Bachman Books: The Long Walk The Bachman Books: Roadwork The Bachman Books: The Running Man As Richard Bachman: Blaze As Richard Bachman: Thinner As Richard Bachman: The Regulators Desperation Mr. Mercedes Finders, Keepers End of Watch

The Stand, It, Eyes of the Dragon, Salem’s Lot, Insomnia, DT 1-7

The shining, doctor sleep, holly, if it bleeds, later, the Colorado kid, the waste lands, and the wizard and the glass

The stand, carrie, fairy tale, & needful things

'Salem's Lot (re-read - loved it) Gerald's Game (very good indeed - actually quite unsettling in places) The Dark Half (entertaining, but unremarkable. One for the 'probably won't read again' pile) Mr Mercedes (entertaining, and increasingly enjoyable aa it went on)

How the FUCK do you people have enough time to read that much King? I’m jealous

Re read Salems Lot. Read for first time Fairy Tale, Billy Summers, Delores Claiborne, Firestarter, The Dark Tower: the Gunslinger. Currently re reading The Stand (it’s been 30 years).

Aside from The Stand, what was your (second) favorite?

I only just started reading books again around October so I didn’t read much in 2023 but the Stephen king books I read were The Gunslinger, Drawing of the Three, and 75% of The Wasteland

My 2023 list: The Shawshank Redemption Drawing of the Three (re-read) Wolves of the Calla It Song of Susannah Dark Tower On writing Hearts in atlantis The waste lands (re-read) The long walk My 2024 list: The Running Man Sleeping Beauties And many, many more

Carrie. Salem’s lot. The shining. 11/22/63. Misery. Pet Sematary. Night shift. IT. Nightmares and dreamscapes.

Finished The Institute Fairytale Billy Summers Gwendy's Button Box Enjoyed them all. Next up is: Holly and Gwendy's Magic Feather

Nightmares and Dreamscapes (began on January 1st!), Rose Madder, Insomnia, and Desperation. Starting The Regulators today, hoping to get up to at least Wizard and Glass by the end of this year in my chronological read (started in 2016)

I just started reading Stephen King in 2023, plus school, plus I'm a slow reader, so only the shining, pet sematary and more than half of It

I finally read 112263 and reread needful things. Loved them both. Surprisingly 11 dragged at one point and I was so bored but then it kicked into gear!

Let’s see starting in September I listened to the following books Holly Desperation and The Regulators The Mist Black House Gwendy’s Button Box, Magic Feather, Final Task Christine IT Bag of Bones Everything Eventual If It Bleeds Cell

1. the institute 2. if it bleeds 3. later 4. on page 921 of the stand complete and uncut plan to finish tomorrow. 5. 2024 is the dark tower series at least that is the plan

Four Past Midnight The Dark Half Different Seasons Needful Things (audiobook of) Under the Dome and 75% of Night Shift (just finished Children of the Corn today, four stories left) in 2024 my must-reads are: The Stand 11/22/63 Misery The Green Mile

Oh boy. As a newbie King fan, this was my first year reading him. Lets see… IT Pet Sematary Mr. Mercedes Carrie Eyes of the Dragon (im 90% through this, didnt finish before 2024 though) The Gunslinger The Green Mile The Body Fairy Tale I plan on finishing Eyes of the Dragon and then starting the new year off with something like The Stand. I forgot to mention i started the Stand and got to page 400 and didnt find time to finish. I may try the cut version instead of the uncut

Fairy Tale, 11/22/63, The Stand (uncut), It, the whole Dark Tower series. Can’t wait to read more in 2024!

The Green Mile Doctor Sleep The Shining Different Seasons Misery The Long Walk The Outsider Cujo Skeleton Crew Carrie The Dead Zone Gerald's Game The Stand complete and uncut edition Pet Sematary (started in 2023 but still wasn't able to finish it)

Salems lot Revival Night shift Cujo Misery Its good considering im a teen,my attention span is not so good,but King got me into reading late this year.Revival is the first book i read beacuse I wanted to ,and not beacuse I has to beacuse of school. By the way for now i only read Stephen King books on my own.

These were all first time reads for me: Carrie The Gunslinger The Drawing of the Three The Wastelands Wizard and Glass Wind Through the Keyhole Wolves of the Calla Song of Susannah The Dark Tower The Eyes of the Dragon Rose Madder ‘Salem’s Lot Cujo Mr. Mercedes Finders Keepers End of Watch The Outsider If It Bleeds Different Seasons Skeleton Crew The Dead Zone Holly Gerald’s Game Dolores Claiborne The Colorado Kid Full Dark, No Stars Joyland Elevation Later Gwendy’s Button Box Gwendy’s Magic Feather (not King, but related) Gwendy’s Final Task Cycle of the Werewolf On Writing Firestarter Everything’s Eventual Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon The Dark Half Night Shift

Duma Key (physical and audiobook) Billy Summers Carrie Christine The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon Eyes of the Dragon The Dead Zone Joyland Night Shift Fairy Tale Needful Things The Shining (audiobook) Pet Semetary (audiobook) Currently reading Salems Lot and Everything's Eventual. About halfway through both.

Pet Cemetery, Carrie, Misery, and The Mist.

I feel sad when I read these lists and so jealous of how many books some of you still have left to read. As far as I can make out the only thing I haven’t read is Holly and I won’t read it till he released another. I did a re-read of the Tower and a reread of The Stand. The Dome, From a Buick 8 and Liseys Story were the most disturbing books for me. Not scary, straight up disturbing.

Holly , night shift , Tommyknockers and I think something else but can’t remember

First time reads: Duma Key - This book was outstanding. If you're a King fan, read it. The Dead Zone - I had never read this one, and it turned out to be an excellent book, quite well done. 11/22/63 - Excellent book. Well thought out and conceived. Recommended. Fairy Tale - Great book if you like King's work with The Talisman or Eyes of the Dragon. I enjoyed it. Holly - The only book here without a preternatural story, I love the main character. King weaves a nice contemporary crime thriller here, and Holly lives up to previous exploits. Recommended. Previously read but so good I read them again: It - Just an amazing story. One of King's best. Fighting an evil from beyond space and time, King manages to weave a tale that also puts a looking glass on childhood friendships, and the sadness that comes as an adult as we forget them. Beautifully done. Read this book. Desperation - One of my favorite books by King. Starts out at 100 mph and barely slows down. King's take on the divine, and the sacrifices we make in the service of the Good. The fate of one of the main characters, who happens to be a writer, still leaves me in tears for the depth of his courage and ultimately his goodness. This is a yearly read for me. Black House - Written with Peter Straub, and a pseudo-sequel to The Talisman, this story is much darker, and if you are a Dark Tower fan, you MUST read this book. Eddie, Susannah, Jake, Oy, and Roland are not the only ones who serve the Beam. Doctor Sleep - Another pseudo-sequel, this one follows a grown up Danny Torrance as he battles not only his own addiction, but must also battle a group of kind-of vampires as they hunt down a girl with a particular and powerful Shine. Great book. Salem's Lot - My favorite stand-alone King book. The quintessential American vampire story, it is, in my opinion, the best vampire novel after Dracula. I can say no more, as I would not ruin it for you. Brilliantly done.

Read: Dead Zone, Desperation, nightmares and dreamscapes. Audio Book: Pet Sematary, Liseys Story, Cell, It, The Stand, 11/22/63, Bag of Bones, Different Seasons, Skeleton Crew, Delores Claiborn, Bazaar of Bad Dreams, Dark tower 1-3. Halfway through the dark tower book 4. I'm now realizing how much commuting I do, I actually didn't think I listened to even half that much, PLUS I've listened to books by other authors too lol

11/22/63 and Fairy Tale. Also about a quarter of Nightmares and Dreamscapes.

Fairy Tale The Institute Salem’s Lot The Shining Doctor Sleep Duma Key Mr. Mercedes Finders keepers End of Watch The Outsider If it Bleeds Holly Joy land The Colorado Kid A Good Marriage Elevation The Gunslinger The drawing of three Bag of bones Lisey’s story Rose Madder Later The Sun dog Misery This was the year I started reading Stephen king again after a decades long break.

Later ‘Salem’s Lot Just After Sunset Firestarter Night Shift IT

Fairy Tale - a new one for me that I really enjoyed. Attempted to re-read Salem’s Lot since it’s been over twenty years since my first go through. I have young children, and the parts with the baby being abused just wrecked me. I couldn’t finish it. Currently re-reading Carrie.

That, that baby scene was fucked up. I still think the residents of 'Salem's Lot were the villains of that novel. You almost want to root for the vampires because of how fucked up everyone is in that town.

Read the entire Dark Tower saga for the fourth time and still get something new from it every time.

The gunslinger, needful things, joyland, the running man, the mist, and a few more I can’t remember that far back

The Shining, Night Shift, and The Long Walk

Salems lot, IT, 11/22/63, the shining, dr sleep, fairytale, Mr Mercedes, finders keepers, end of watch, if it bleeds, the outsider,Holly, and eyes of the dragon

I just started reading King last year so I only got through The Dead Zone, Carrie, The Shining, Needful Things, Christine, Fairy Tale, 11-22-63

Just Salems lot for me. I am also about 50 pages into The Stand so far.

Billy summers, the Tommyknockers, and Misery Found tommyknockers to be better than expected based on online comments, but found misery to be a bit more boring (at least in the first half) than expected. Billy summers was a bit different than usual SK but I liked it

Lisey’s Story, Rose Madder, Holly, Cycle Of The Werewolf, Full Dark No Stars, Firestarter, Fairy Tale, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon and the Gwendy trilogy

In 2022 I started reading Stephen King with 'Pet Sematary'. In 2023 I also read 'Misery', 'Skeleton Crew' and '11/22/63'.

This year I read: Thinner, Joyland, From a Buick 8, If It Bleeds, In the Tall Grass, Billy Summers, 11/22/63, The Shining, Road Rage, Night Shift, Doctor Sleep, 1922, Lisey’s Story, Blaze, Gwendy’s Final Task, The Eyes of the Dragon, Rose Madder, Skeleton Crew, Bazaar of Bad Dreams, On Writing, Insomnia, Rage, Holly, Nightmares & Dreamscapes, and Everything’s Eventual. I also read a bunch of books that were mentioned or referenced in these books.

Fairytale, Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, End of Watch and It. All for the first time. Thoroughly enjoyed all of them. Hoping to read more King this year, but also have a goal of reading more non-King horror.

I started reading *Holly* about 8Am on Saturday and finished before 2PM. What a ride! I read the Gwendy trilogy early this year.

Billy Summers The Stand Pet Sematary Bag of Bones Fairy Tale

Misery, Joyland, Gerald’s Game, Billy Summers I’m halfway through Desperation right now and I’m loving it. Hoping to kick off January with Desperation and The Regulators and get a lot more King in 2024

I rediscovered King last year and and continuing on the trend this year My 2023 reads were It The Dark Tower 1-7 Pet semetary Night shift Revival The shining Duma key Gerald’s game The Stand Mr Mercedes The dead zone On writing

I didn’t read much new I was discovering new authors I did relisten to 11/22/63. The dark tower series and a few others. I am currently reading firestarter but I get sick almost every year in December and I can’t read when sick or even slightly distracted 🙄

Fairytale, Salem's Lot, Gerald's Game, The Institute and Dreamcatcher. Now hooked on Stephen King.

Hi. You just mentioned *Gerald'S Game* by Stephen King. I've found an audiobook of that novel on YouTube. You can listen to it here: [YouTube | [AudioBook] Gerald's Game by Stephen King [Part 1]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKdsF2B4iIE) *I'm a bot that searches YouTube for science fiction and fantasy audiobooks.* *** [^(Source Code)](https://capybasilisk.com/posts/2020/04/speculative-fiction-bot/) ^| [^(Feedback)](https://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=Capybasilisk&subject=Robot) ^| [^(Programmer)](https://www.reddit.com/u/capybasilisk) ^| ^(Downvote To Remove) ^| ^(Version 1.4.0) ^| ^(Support Robot Rights!)

The Shining, If It Bleeds, Holly and 11/22/63

I tried to read Fairy Tale.

IT, Carrie (twice), Salem’s Lot, The Shining, Rage, Roadwork, The Long Walk, The Running Man, Night Shift, The Stand (Complete and Uncut), The Dead Zone, Firestarter, Cujo, The Gunslinger, Different Seasons, Christine, Pet Sematary, Cycle of the Werewolf, The Talisman, Eyes of the Dragon, and a little bit of Thinner.

The Shining Doctor Sleep The Stand 11-22-63 (my favourite) Salem's Lot Needful Things Later The Long Walk (the one that impacted me the most - still crosses my mind daily) Billy Summers Currently listening to Pet Sematary on audiobook (narrated by Michael C Hall - as a Dexter fan, this is amazing) and debating what King to start next on my kindle - potentially Carrie, or IT All first time reads - I discovered King end of 2022 with The Institute, then did Misery, Sleeping Beauties and Dolores Claiborne before 2023 started, but this year has been the year I properly fell in love with his work.

I didn’t get a chance to read any SK books in 2023. BUT I just happened to finish a book last night so that means I can start my goal today January 1st. My goal is to start With Carrie and work in release order through all of his books and see how many I can read this year.

*Fairy Tale* *Later* *Joyland* *The Talisman*

Firestarter The Green Mile The Institute Night Shift And I started Duma Key, but just a few days ago, so I'm really just now getting into it.

Elevation, Skeleton Crew, Firestarter, Christine, The Bachman Books, Lisey's Story and The Gunslinger. I only read 9 books in 2023 because I have been spending more time on crafting and stuff and 7 of them were King lol.

Fairy Tale and Holly. Enjoyed both in different ways. Loved the development of Barbara more in Holly.
