An iconic King novel.
My first time reading this one, it was good. I thought it would be more like Carrie, but it has a wider reach as far as Charley‘s backstory and the conspiracy surrounding those that are seeking to stop/control her.
I have several books I‘m trying to finish that might end up in my queue, but this is a mostly complete list for July. 🤩 I will be trying to continue to finish some #SeriesLove in the following month, but got a lot of my #roll100 caught up and #FairyTaleRetellingChallenge is caught up! 😍 Next will be my #DolittleDiscussion and #LosersClub

Just a reminder that July‘s #LosersClub read is #roadwork Put your library holds in now, search your shelves, or buy a new copy, and check back on or about July 1st, when we begin reading this one. Discussion will be at the end of the month! #StephenKing #StephenKingInOrder #KingFromTheBeginning #ConstantReader #ReadAlong #BuddyRead #BookDiscussion
pickI still like Firestarter. What‘s weird though is that I always forget how it ends. It does hit a bit differently with what‘s going on with the government now. Given how awful Rainbird was, I feel that his fate was a little glossed over. #audiowalk #LosersClub
I only have a couple of hours left, and, even though I‘ve read this book multiple times, I‘m nervous for Andy and Charlie. #audiowalk #LosersClub
I got to walk outside today because it was actually coolish. Firestarter is scary to me because it‘s really people that are the monsters; nothing supernatural really. Just people. As Dean Winchester succinctly said, “Demons, I get. People are crazy.” #audiowalk #LosersClub
I hate John Rainbird. These are all feelings I‘ve had before; I just forgot about them. #audiowalk #LosersClub
No pictures or map from my #audiowalk. It was in the gym and boring. I had forgotten how much I hate the Shop in Firestarter. Government agencies with bad intentions also hit a bit different now. New little baby that my daughter found and brought home when he barely had opened his eyes yet. His name is Moxy, and he‘s doing well now. We weren‘t sure at first if he‘d be okay. #LosersClub
It‘s been a long time since I read this; my copy has the original white cover with fire partially covering a little girl‘s face. As with most King books for #LosersClub, if I‘ve read it in print before, I‘m using the audio for this reread. So far I‘m liking the narrator. #audiowalk
Also I think the first season of Stranger Things owes this book a lot! 19h
