Welcome to Litsy!

This is our February selection for the Constant Reader book club. I‘ve watched the original 1983 movie adaptation multiple times and first read the book in 2015 as an audiobook. This time, I decided to read my physical copy. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it again and liked it better the second time.

Full review at abookandadog.com/blog/the-dead-zone

Five stories -enjoyed all of them, some more than others (The Man Who Loved Flowers predictable, Night Surf like Rage seemed to predict future events) of these the one I enjoyed the most was The Last Rung on the Ladder, shows King is very good storyteller, not just horror, any stories. A brother and sister and their relationship is explored focusing on one incident from childhood. Overall a good read (audiobook).
Make a great day everyone 🙂

King famously disliked the film adaptation of The Shining. Having seen the movie several times, I guess I can see his dissatisfaction, but I think Kubrick did a good job. The book is different enough that I got well caught up in the suspense. Very good #constantreader #losersclub

I love this book. It's one of my favorite King books. It's the classic haunted hotel story. Family, who already has issues, moves inside a hotel to take care of it during It's off season and all hell brakes lose.
I would love a prequel with Grady and what happened with his family 🖤

One of my favourite Stephen King books. This was a reread for me. I watched the movie for the first time recently and it was great too but the book had much more interesting character development.

My #BookSpin list for February is full of books from my TBR, with the exception of Night Shift by Stephen King, which is the #LosersClub book of the month. I will be getting it from the library since I don't already own it. All of the other books will qualify for my #ShelfLove reading challenge and many of them will qualify for the #2025OffMyShelf prompts as well. I picked mostly shorter books since February is usually not a good month for me.

Just a reminder that February‘s #LosersClub read is #nightshift Put your library holds in now, search your shelves, or buy a new copy, and check back on or about February 1st, when we begin reading this one. Discussion will be at the end of the month! #StephenKing #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader #ReadAlong #BuddyRead #BookDiscussion
