Anna Karenina was the first book I started in 2018. And As You Wish was my first book finished! What a delightful read. Not only are we treated to it being read by the author himself, Cary Elwes, but we also get to hear from Rob Reiner, Billy Crystal, Robin Wright and various other actors and producers associated with the film. Now all I want to do is watch the movie again! A fun romp. 3/5⭐️ 🎥 🍿 #firstbook #firstbookof2018 #firstbookread

The Shining | Stephen King

Truthfully, I'm not sure which one of these was my #firstbookread but I'm pretty sure it was The Shining. I know this is the copy my parents had and I'm pretty sure I liberated it from them at far too young of an age...#StephenKing17

Josie AHHH LOOK AT THOSE COVERS!!! So cool, thanks for sharing ❤️ 8y
CocoReads @Josie clearly I've been a fan since way back. Although I admit I've been away for a long time. 8y
Gayan I love all these old copies of King that everyone is posting. 8y

Needful Things | Stephen King
post image

#stephenking17 Day 1 I'm not 100% sure because I didn't track my books then, but I think my first King book was Needful Things, which I read when I was in high school. #firstbookread

Josie Needful Things is in my top 10 favorites!!! I read it in high school, too ❤️❤️❤️ 8y
Gayan Needful Things grew on me. For some reason I can't put my finger on I just didn't like it the first time I read it. My second read was much different, I fell in love with it. 8y
Bookzombie @Josie Yay! ☺️ @Gayan I remember liking it, but I think I may reread it sometime. High school was long time ago. Lol. 8y

Lisey's Story: A Novel | Stephen King

#stephenking17 #firstbookread This was my first King, and will always be my favorite.

Gayan I don't think this book gets enough credit, it's a damn fine book and I do believe it is King's favorite. 8y
Sarahr875 @Gayan I have read that it's his favorite. And of course after seeing that we shared a favorite, I felt even better about my favorite. It's amazing. It is a little different than his others, but it's just such a powerful story. It will always be the best one for me. 8y
Mccall0113 I adore this book! 8y
Sarahr875 @Mccall0113 you have good taste! 8y

The Dead Zone | Stephen King
post image

Honestly I can't 100% remember which Stephen King book was my first, but I'm thinking it was The Dead Zone. I do remember putting it down and picking it back up several times. I have read so many more after this one. #firstbookread #stephenking17. I don't have access to my actual books, this one courtesy of Goodreads.

RadicalReader @Bookladylinda the first SK book I read was definitely Pet Sematary 8y
Josie @Gayan just finished a reread of this! So, I went out and bought it in hard back and I plan on rereading it soon! ❤️ 8y
Gayan The reread was fantastic. This is one of my favorites. 8y

The Stand | Stephen King
post image

This was my #firstbookread of a Stephen King. I was in middle school. We used to drive every Sunday to visit grandparents and had to take a tunnel to NYC so that scene where they are leaving the city by tunnel after the illness killed almost everyone frightened me for a very long time. #stephenking17

TrishB That scene always had me too 😱 8y
Gayan That is one of the scariest scenes in the book I think. 8y

The was my #firstbookread by Stephen King. I saw it on the sale table at a bookstore when I was about 16. I didn't own a cell phone at the time 😉 #StephenKing17

Gayan Another one that has a movie coming out soon. I was in a King slump when this came out and this pulled me right back in. 8y
Josie I read this one when it first came out and loved it!! I didn't know about the movie, yay! ❤️ 8y
Sweettartlaura I read this in a single night while visiting a friend - couldn't put it down/didn't want to have to borrow it & mail it back 😂 8y
Shawna @Josie @Gayan I just found it on Netflix! I know what I'm doing tonight 8y
