Welcome! Many of your favorites are also my favorites. ;-)

[Enes]

Hello everyone. I am Enes from Istanbul. I've been a fan since I read Bag of Bones when I was 16. My favourite book (apart from the classics like TDT, IT, The Stand) is Duma Key.
It is great to be here :)

Welcome, Romilly and Enes. Glad to see that we share some less classic favorites like Duma Key and The Dead Zone.

I lost interest around the same time, too! I wonder why.

[Erin]

Welcome back, Manda

[Romilly]

Welcome back, Manda! I completely relate to what you said about your tremendous love of books but always coming back to Stephen King. Me, too. :)

[Nick]

Hi I am Nick from Greece. I love Steven King's work and fantasy - thriller - horror stories. My heart belongs to my dog Barbara which I found three years ago. She was one month puppy abandoned with seven others. I am glad I saved her life because she made me a better person and more emotional. Since the day I got her we have never been separate a single day. Not even once and I hope we will never be apart.

[Erin]

Welcome Nick

[mrbooks]

Welcome back Manda it never to late to return to your love of the master of horror. I think we all have left for a little while but are always brought back by or love of his style of writing.

Welcome Nick it is always nice to have someone new to discuss books with.

[Romilly]

Welcome, Nick!

[Nick]

Hey Nick, welcome. Seems like they treat guys named Nick pretty well around here.

[Anush]

Greetings!

I'm Anush from India. I was enamored by Needful Things, the story of how many little insignificant things lead to chaos beyond comprehension. I'm making my way through Under The Dome.

I love New England for it's beauty and the setting it can offer. I'm working on my own book (I don't expect any success or reward). I would be grateful if someone from New England would help me out with some of the technical details.

Enjoy and Keep on Reading !

[Nicole]

Welcome, Nick and Anush!

[Heather]

Hi my name is Heather, from North Carolina. I am beginning to be a HUGE Stephen King fan. I am currently reading The Stand, which is soooooo good!!!! I just cant put it down! I am fairly new to goodreads, and this is my fist group that I have joined. I don't know how all this works but I am still very excited!!!

[Ashley]

Hello! I'm Ashley and this year I've read "The Stand" and "It" and have been jumping around to different stories in "The Night Shift."

[Nicole]

Welcome, Heather and Ashley! :)

[Romilly]

Welcome, Heather! I am new to Goodreads, too. And yes, the Stand is indeed impossible to put down! :)

[Heather]

I have heard the original is easier to read being it isn't as long, but for me, I am reading the uncut and it is just amazing! It can be drawn out in some parts but honestly It has yet to lose my interest! I am honestly thinking of re-reading as soon as I finish just to join a new discussion! LOL

[Erin]

Welcome Anush, Heather and Ashley

[mrbooks]

Welcome Anush, Heather and Ashley we hope you enjoy your time here. Heather are you thinking of joining Reading the Stand in Parts. If so please do always want a fresh pair of eyes and opinion on a well loved and read book. A lot of us have read and re read this book over and over again it is an addiction to us. I haven't yet got it on audio yet but it is only a matter of time. I think I will ask my wife to get it for me for our annual trip to Cornwall, that will give me a good 7-9 hours of listening time while I am driving and stuck in traffic.

[Sheri]

Hello all, Sheri here. I too am in love with the work of Stephen King. This year I re-read Pet Semetary & I keep my hardback of 'Everything is Eventual' close in reach to my bed (sometimes in my bed....it's quite big).
As far as obtaining 'The Stand' on audio- I hope you do. It's completely worth it & you'll find yourself not minding a long drive (or traffic) so much. At least, that was my experience. I can't remember the narrator I had, just that it was a man. It's been a long time. I was listening on my iPod with the wheel - yes, the 1st iPod.

definitely going to chime in on The Stand discussions. I am almost finished with it now. This is my first time reading it, but Im sure the first of many times. This book is so good. I am just enthralled in it and cant put it down. I will be finished within the next day or two. I am currently reading the kindle uncut version. I have the audio book downloaded and listen when I am in the car. I look forward to trying to find the original cut version to read and compare.

[Nicole]

Welcome, Sheri! My friend just finished the Stand in audiobook and she said it took three weeks but was amazing. I look forward to doing it that way someday.

Heather, look forward to seeing you in the Stand discussions! I have read the Uncut before, but for this time around I'm going to read try the original :)

[Erin]

Welcome Sheri

[Feli]

Hi!
My Name is Julia Felicitas, or in short: just "Feli", and I just entered this group and the goodreads-community.
I'm from Germany and still a student (majoring in linguistics right now, thus I don't have much time for reading at the moment.. but I'm trying :-) )
I love King and always did so. I started reading "The gunslinger" at age 12, omitting this whole young adult stuff and starting directly with the good stuff ;-)
Since then I am trying to read all his books, but I am still missing some..

I'm really happy to have found this site and especially this group, seems to me you folks are all great and really nice :-)

[mrbooks]

Welcome Felicitas, or Feli for short. We hope you feel at home here and look forward to your input on any and all of Stephen King's books that you have read.

[Erin]

Welcome Feli, glad you are here.

[Valisa]

Hi All,

My name is Valisa. I have been reading Stephen King since I was a teenager, which was quiet a while ago. My first Stephen King book was Carrie, but my favorite King novel is a toss-up between Pet Sematary and Duma Key. The last King book I read was It, and I am slowly reading The Dark Towers Series, reading The Waste Lands.

I was very fortunate to see King speak at last years national book festival in Washington D.C. :)

H, Valisa, welcome to the group! Carrie was my first King book as a teenager, too :) :)

[mrbooks]

Hi Valisa, and welcome to the wonderful world of everything Stephen King. I envy you, you got to see him in person and listen to him speak I would love to be able to do that. Carrie was also my first Stephen King book but unlike you I am so old I can't remember my tee years. I will have to check out my copy of Carrie as it is hard back and I got it eons ago. Just to check out when I got it and to re-read it again.

[Erin]

Welcome Valisa

hi Ellen :)

[Austin]

Hey guys, I'm Austin.

I've been reading Stephen King books for the past year and a half now; I started my senior year in high school after we had to read his book "On Writing" for my AP Language Arts class. I had heard of him before that but never had the chance to read his books. After having read that book, I was entranced and went to the library and picked up the first book I recognized: "Carrie." Within the next 6 months I read quite a few of his books, including "It" and "Under the Dome."

A year and a half later and I'm still loving it and making my way through his books. I read the Dark Tower series earlier this year and am currently reading "The Stand."

I'm excited to meet some people who love the King too, since I don't have any friends who like to read his books.

It's always nice when someone young experiences him for the first time and falls in love! Welcome.

[Nicole]

Welcome, Austin and Ellen! We're glad to have you :)

[Sheri]

Hello Natasha, Ellen, & Austin!! Great to have you here. I think that if anyone enjoys reading & chatting w/new ppl (that usually become friends) will enjoy this site.

Someone could also be a lone wolf who enjoys discovering new authors (indie or otherwise), like reading reviews & decides to get into some advanced reader group/club (also known as ARC)

Anyone is welcome to take a look at the group's I'm in...my 2 favorite groups are very active. Enjoy!!!!

[mrbooks]

Welcome Austin, Ellen, And Latasha hope you all enjoy this group as much as we do.

[Latasha]

Thank you Mr. Brooks

[Sheri]

My bad Latasha....when I welcomed you I called you Natasha. My bad...anyway, greetings*

If you like horror you might wanna check out one of my favorite (quite active) groups Horror Aficionados.

[Madeleine]

I've been in this group for a while, but I think I never introduced myself. I'm Madeleine and I'm from Montreal, Canada. I started reading SK books recently, at the end of 2014, with IT and I completely fell in love! From that moment on, when I went to secondhand bookstores, I bought every King book that I saw for a really cheap price! I can't believe how well he writes and how rich his descriptions and characters are! Except IT, some of my favorites are The Long Walk, Cujo, Misery and The Shining! Can't wait to read every other books of his!

[Austin]

Hey Madeleine! I love It and Cujo and Misery are some of my favorites too! They were among some of the first of his books that I read.
