I have an awful habit of spending too much time on social media and really want to get back into reading. I picked up a tonne of King’s books recently because I know I really enjoy his writing style. I’ve read Carrie, Salem’s Lot, The Shining and most recently, It, which I absolutely loved. I’m toying with the idea of going straight into 11/22/63 but it’s a fairly long read and I’m not sure if I’d prefer the time travelling aspect to some of his creepier, more supernatural stuff. I have heard the book is incredible though… This is what I have in my collection. Please help me pick my next read and/or tell me which of these books was your personal favorite.

Mr. Mercedes
Misery
The eye of the dragon
The green mile
Cujo
Black house ft Straub
Nightmares and dreamscapes
The dead zone
Needful things (this one really intrigues me)
Holly
The Institute
Under the Dome
Fire starter
The Gunslinger
Duma Key
End of Watch
11/22/63
Doctor Sleep
Fairytale

I stopped listening for about a year and a half and have been dipping back in recently by listening to random episodes. What episode do they talk about the falling out, or whatever happened between them and Mike, or can anyone just tell me? I’m too nosey to wait until I’m all caught up.

I just finished the book the other day and have been wondering about this ever since. Would they not find it incredibly odd that they don’t remember reconnecting as adults after coming back to Derry? Like surely that all fades away based on what the book told us? Would they not wonder why neither of them remembers that, or would they remember snippets that just involved each other (since they stayed together) or what?

I’m about 80% of the way through IT and I’m absolutely loving it. I’d seen the movies so I was familiar with the story, but the book is so detailed and immersive. I adore the kids, all their little, individual quirks and personalities and just know that finishing the book will be bittersweet. I don’t feel ready to say goodbye to these characters.
