‘This is a novel about the other world in this world. It is the chilling story of a girl and her strange power.‘

No matter how many times I read this I never get tired of it. A story about a girl with a special power, pushed beyond her limits.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

TieDyeDude My reading for the second half of October has been slow and my library still doesn't have copies of this available. I think the announcement of the new series probably had an effect on availability. I'm going to try to read this in November, since I read Salem's Lot recently. I did see an article about the new show and a hope that they cast a full-figure lead since Carrie is supposed to be heavier. 1w
5feet.of.fury @TieDyeDude I‘m having that issue finding Salem‘s Lot with the new adaptation 😩 1w

5feet.of.fury I liked Carrie, soooooo to the point compared to newer King, still good character studies just shortened. I liked the way the story was kind of bookended. 🩸 1w
BookwormAHN I'm also on a 10 wk wait for Salem's Lot but it is a reread for me. I think I enjoyed Carrie more this go round. This also may be the only King book where he really stays with this story and we don't get everyone on the planet's backstory 😸 1w
Bookwormjillk @BookwormAHN yes! He was a lot more concise in this book! And add me to the list of people having trouble getting a copy of Salem‘s Lot. 1w
Balibee146 This was my first read of Carrie and I was surprised how short it was. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would as exposure to bits of the films meant it didn't hugely appeal to me. I think the writing style with the patchwork of voices /reporting style lifted an otherwise "by the numbers" plot progression. 1w
Balibee146 Oh and I didn't spot any mentions of a character wearing a "sportcoat" in this one. Over the course of reading my first few King novels that kept getting mentioned and it isn't a terminology we use in the UK so I noticed it.... Then got a bit obsessed with it being mentioned often ..... I shall be annoying you all with "Spoartcoat" Spotting as the months go by... Sorry! 1w
BarkingMadRead @Balibee146 uh oh now I‘m gonna be on the lookout for sport coats! 1w
Balibee146 @BarkingMadRead you can't unsee them.... I think there's fewer in th later novels.... Maybe we could have a tag for #sportcoatspotting 1w
BarkingMadRead @Balibee146 I‘m all about the hashtags! 1w
BarkingMadRead @Balibee146 also, check out pics of Stephen king, he wears them a lot 🤣 1w
Balibee146 @BarkingMadRead as I said.... It's a bit of an obsession of mine so.... Many hashtaggings to come. Yeah when I googled "Sport Coat Stephen King" I saw that ??? 1w

Finished Carrie today. Probably did not think my lunch through very well while listening though 😅🩸Took an unintentionally long break from #LosersClub but it was nice to read King again. I can‘t believe I‘ve never read this one till now although I did read a lot about it from On Writing. Claimed 2 more word search words and blood for the book cover scavenger hunt. #HauntedShelf #SkeletonCrew #BookSpinBingo #ReadAway2024 #Spookoween #31by31 ⬇️

Mehso-so

You don't really need a synopsis for this book do you? OK, how about bullied teenager uses telekinetic powers to get revenge at the prom.

After reading several of King's other books & not liking them, I decided to finally read one of his books that most people seem to rave about (to see if the problem was the particular books I'd read before) & it was.....ok. It wasn't bad but it wasn't earth-shatteringly good either.

OutsmartYourShelf It was mercifully quite short (I read The Stand & that was tough going) so the author didn't have quite as much time to go all around the houses instead of getting to the point. I skipped the pig killing scene. 3⭐

Managed to take myself by train to Hoboken, NJ today without getting lost or kidnapped. Carrie was my companion. 13 year old me thought I was so badass sneaking this book from my Dad‘s shelf and reading it.

I finished up my reread of Carrie. This novel always leaves me feeling sad. The tragedy and abuse that Carrie experiences breaks my heart. All she wanted was to fit in.

I like how the story is written with excerpts from books, interviews, and news to unravel what happened.

Although this isn't a favorite King for me, I still like it and appreciate it.

Carrie White does not have it easy. She is unpopular at school and subjected to her mother‘s religious fanaticism at home. She also has a secret: she can move things with her mind. When she feels like she‘s been given a chance to be normal, an unexpected and cruel prank turns her gift into a weapon of horror.

This was a reread. Always as good as the first time I read it.

I love Stephen King- and my late 80‘s reading were full of King, Koontz and Saul. Margaret Atwood (also a favorite) wrote the intro to the 50th anniversary edition- and the Times shares it- It is filled with nuances and information that only make me love Stephen King even more.

It was interesting reading this one again. I think the story‘s structure is very messy — switching between different POVs and news clippings, book excerpts, and court transcripts — but the characters are some of King‘s best, and this ends up remaining one of his most emotional and angry books.

Stephen King walked around Bangors cemetery and often got his names for some of his characters from the tombstones he would walk by. This grave was where he got the name for his famous work, “Carrie.” I got a picture of it when we went up to Maine recently and it‘s perfect for todays #scarathlon prompt!

BkClubCare Is it “Carrie H.” ? 13mo
TheQuietQuill I think it‘s Carrie M. He got the first name from this tomb for the book 📚 @BkClubCare 13mo

TheQuietQuill So we went on a tour in Maine of Stephen king and it was mentioned, I then did some research and typed in the coordinates to the exact tomb and that‘s where it led to. Pretty cool! If you‘re ever in the area I‘d check it out, it was a search for sure haha! @BkClubCare 13mo
BkClubCare I have relatives in Maine and would LOVE to visit. We don‘t usually go that far north; they live in Portland and Augusta. But would SO love to visit! (My first name is Carrie so that is one reason I was so curious… yep, my last name starts with an H) 13mo
BkClubCare @TheQuietQuill - typed in the coordinates!! So cool. 13mo
TheQuietQuill Woah that‘s awesome! I believe from Portland, Bangor was about three hours more of a drive. We stayed in Acadia and traveled to Bangor just for Stephens Kings mansion and the graveyard 😆 @BkClubCare 13mo
BkClubCare @TheQuietQuill - Acadia is lovely. 😊 13mo

For todays #scarathlon photo challenge: Blood

I‘ve never actually read this, but it‘s on my list for this month. I still remember that iconic scene of pigs blood 🩸 #blackcatcrew

BookwormAHN The book is better. I realize that gets said a lot, but in this case, the ending really is 🐈‍⬛ 13mo

Flew through this one. I grabbed it off a shelf at a used book store I discovered recently and am very happy with my choice. #booksixof2023
