Since I read The Stand fairly recently, I'm going to read the comic adaptation for @BarkingMadRead #losersclub this month. I'm also going to try to re-read the Murderbot Diaries, or at least the first four books, before the show starts.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 2d

Bookwormjillk It was fun to revisit his earlier stories and see him start to play with some of his longer books and themes. My dad had the version with the eyeball hand on the cover when I was a kid and I always had nightmares about it. Also Children if the Corn was a sleepover favorite so yay for nostalgia. 2d

AllDebooks I enjoyed this collection. As @Bookwormjillk said, it's fun seeing the formation of his longer works. Children of the corn was so creepy. X 2d

TieDyeDude I was surprised to see him flirt with sci-fi with I Am the Doorway. He doesn't seem to play in that sandbox too often. I liked the "bad deal" stories, Quitters Inc, The Ledge, Lawnmower Man. Lawnmower, Trucks, and Mangler were pretty silly ? I found Last Rung ? maybe the most memorable. It had an aching sweetness to it, but I seem to like unrequited/unreciprocated love stories for some reason... 2d

BarkingMadRead @alldebooks children of the corn has always creeped me out! The movie is so messed up! @TieDyeDude yes! Mangler was so silly at the end 🤣 2d

Balibee146 Oh I love that edition. I didn't pick up Night Shift last month sadly but I do like it as a collection. I really enjoy King short stories 😍 2d

LoverOfLearning Just recently started reading SK! Long list of books to read 😩 2d

While the world enters its Rats Fighting In A Sack publically era, I am getting back into my favourite Litsy challenges and buddy reads to try and cope.

First up is a re read of Making Money for #OokBookClub with @julesG (discussion starts 7th March).

Also my second time reading The Stand for the #LosersClub with @BarkingMadRead
I first read The Stand in February 2020 so I'm forming a habit of turning to it in, ahem, "interesting times"

#kobo

julesG Ook! 2d

Bookwormjillk Ha! I read it in Feb. 2020 too! What timing… 2d

Night Shift | Stephen King

pick

A mixed bag, as most short-story collections are, but definitely more hits than misses, and a few really memorable stories. A number of scenarios and themes reminded me of King's novels, and I wonder if he'd used these stories to try out ideas that he developed more fully later.

The Dead Zone | Stephen King

pick

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

Soscha Is Constant Readers a local or online club? Just curious, behind one indeed! 2w

LoverOfLearning Finally read my first ever Steven King bookm Started with Misery was pretty good! Any recommendations for my next read by him? 2w

NatalieR @Soscha It‘s a local, in person book club. Here, you may want to check out #losersclub #constantreader 2w

NatalieR @LoverOfLearning Misery was my first King book too! 😃 Glad you liked it. The Shining is one of my favorites. 2w

Soscha An online King Constant Reader group is doing the second Dark Tower book. I‘ve not read the first yet though. 😓 2w

sarahbarnes I liked this one too when I read it. He has some really good ones. 2w

LoverOfLearning @NatalieR that's funny! 💯 love that. That's a long book huh! Maybe I'll read it ! 2w

NatalieR @Soscha The Dark Tower series is quite a commitment. The first book was tough for me to get through. The rest were really good though. 2w

NatalieR @LoverOfLearning It‘s not too long. It‘s engaging and suspenseful. 🤓 2w

Soscha I read the Dead Zone some time ago. It‘s logged on my Goodreads but I didn‘t leave a written review. Is this the one with an insane POTUS candidate? Damn good but way too close to reality at this point in history, if I may say. 2w

NatalieR @Soscha 😅 Yep, that‘s it! While reading it, I kept thinking how It‘s VERY close to our reality. 2w
