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. 4w

5feet.of.fury @TieDyeDude I‘m having that issue finding Salem‘s Lot with the new adaptation 😩 4w

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. 🩸 4w

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 😸 4w

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. 3w

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. 3w

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! 3w

BarkingMadRead @Balibee146 uh oh now I‘m gonna be on the lookout for sport coats! 3w

Balibee146 @BarkingMadRead you can't unsee them.... I think there's fewer in th later novels.... Maybe we could have a tag for #sportcoatspotting 3w

BarkingMadRead @Balibee146 I‘m all about the hashtags! 3w

BarkingMadRead @Balibee146 also, check out pics of Stephen king, he wears them a lot 🤣 3w

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 ??? 3w

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 ⬇️

MatchlessMarie Claiming for #witchathon since there are a lot of witch references in this one although no actual witches but I guess that could be up for debate 🤣 1mo

4/4⭐️

I haven‘t read a lot of Stephen King, but of the books I have read this one is my favorite. I think this is the third time I‘ve read it.

Gigi didn‘t appreciate being bothered.

Carrie | Stephen King

so-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⭐

Carrie | Stephen King

The first time I saw the film Carrie (1976 or 1977) was in my apartment and I let out a loud #Scream at the final scene 😱 totally unexpected ending but so effective…

AmyG Such a great movie. 1mo

rwmg I remember the whole cinema doing so when I saw it, some because of the film, some startled by the screams around them. 1mo
