🙋Hello. My name is Heather & I just joined this group. I live in Pennsylvania & I'm 33 years old.I'm new to Goodreads. I was given a Fire tablet for my birthday a few weeks ago & that's how I found out about this site. I love being able to keep track of what I've read, reading reviews for what I want to read, etc. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like. I don't have any friends yet.
Unfortunately I have a hard time concentrating to read. When I was a kid I read like crazy. But for some reason, the last 10 years or so, I'm not able to sit & read a book anymore. It sucks, I hate it, it's devastating to not be able to enjoy your favorite hobby. My eyes see the words, but my brain won't follow along. Or I just fall asleep, lol. 😴
So nowadays I just listen to books on tape, mostly in the car because I do a lot of driving & that's my only alone time. Or if I'm home, I ask Alexa to read to me from my Kindle books. It really helps take my mind off of life's problems. I hope at some point I'll be able to read again. Maybe I have adult ADD, idk. Honestly, I think it's just stress.😵
I look forward to getting to know some people and discussing good books together. 😀
HI Heather and welcome to Goodreads and to Sai Kings pages.

Welcome Erin, and nice to meet you.
Hello everyone! My name is Falyn and I fell in love with Stephen kings works when I was about middle school thanks to my mom! One of my favorites in The Stand. I am always looking for new recommendations and authors that can tell a story as well as Mr King. Right now I am trying out Bentley Little. Hope to have some great conversations!
Hello Falyn and welcome to goodreads and the Stephen King thread. If you haven't tried Joe Hill I would give his books a go. Start with NOS4A2 and Horns and Heart Shaped box. If you do decide to read them let me know what you think.
Hi,I’m Nathan, got into Stephen King about a year and a half ago after reading IT. Just fell in love with the emotive way of writing, the active prose and all the little pop culture references dotted around in his books. IT, 11/22/63 and Pet Semetary are my personal favourites.
Currently reading his On Writing memoir then it’s onto The Stand.
I’m a noobie by any respect, but it’s lovely to meet you all

Welcome to the group 😊 I also really liked It! But I think Salem's lot is my favourite so far... I am kind of new to his writing as well.

Hi Nathan and welcome it does not matter how new you are you are here and that is what counts, that and your love of Stephen Kings books.
Hello everyone,I am fairly new to goodreads .. in fact this is the first thing I have ever commented on. I am only on my second book by stephen king but have seen plenty of his movies and love that he writes books without the typical "fairy tale happy endings". It feels more raw and truthful.
Hi Emma and welcome to goodreads and the Stephan King fan pages. Which of his books have you read and what would you say is your fav so far ?
mrbooks wrote: "Hi Emma and welcome to goodreads and the Stephan King fan pages.

But IT has me so intrigued. Whats your favourite Stephen King book?
Cool Carrie is a good book, as far as my favorites The Stan and the Long Walk are two of my 56 favorites of his. I also have to say you have to read the Green mile it is one of the best books you will ever read. Mind you I am a bit of a King fan but I also like Harry Potter and J.R.R. Tolkien. Oh and Edgar Allen Poe and Trudi Canavan, ans Tom Clancy LOL. Yup a book nerd or what ever you want to call me. It doesn't matter it will be true.

I love the harry potter books and I've never read lord of the rings but love love love the movies. I haven't heard of the others I'll have to check them out for sure. thank you! Book nerd is the best kind of nerd so who cares.
Hi, Nathan and Emma! Glad to have y’all on board!
Hi! My name is Michael Dixon and I am a college administrator. My far and away favorite Stephen King book (any author for that matter) is The Stand. I enjoy rereading it at least once a year. I have read many of his other novels including The Long Walk, Thinner, and Dead Zone. I am excited to meet others and learn.
HI Michael and welcome we value all opinions.
Welcome Falyn, Nathan, Emma and Michael!
Hello fellow S King readers. My name is JJ. I'm from Texas and love to read many genres. Right now I've been reading lots of fantasy and in fantasy groups. I"ve read many S. Kings books in my youngin days. You can look at click on my profile and look at all the books I've read. Not nearly has many of you book worms but enough lol. I took a break from horror, suspense, thriller books and got hooked on fantasy books. I'm never going to stop reading fantasy books, I love it. I figured I join this book group to possibly try to finish reading books from S King that I have not read yet. I just joined Goodreads in late November 2017, I guess you can consider me a newbie but been in many buddy reads in my other groups I've joined. I'm always looking fro new books to read by reading peoples reviews or recommended to me. Some hit the mark some don't. It's usually the style of the writing by the authors that will catch my attention or not, but once I start reading it I'll finish it. I have yet to find a book I can't not finish, yet lol and wish to keep that streak going. :-) I'm also a Dean Koontz fan. Well catch you later bookies!
Hi :) I’m Lauren, 26 from Edinburgh, Scotland. I’ve read most of King’s books throughout my teens, but took a huge break from reading after I graduated uni and had a daughter. Now that she’s 2 I’m (slowly!) beginning to find time to read again, and I just can’t stay away from the King! My favourites are probably Under the Dome and The Shining. Currently reading IT and loving it, if anyone can recommend any authors I might love as much, please do! :)

It is high fantasy along the lines of Tolkien, He also wrote the word and the void series as well as the Magic kingdom for sale sold.
I have yet to read Shannara series and it's been recommended to me often. I have so many books right now on my to read list but it feels like there are so many books to read and not enough time in our lives to read it. If we were to live to be 200 yrs old there'd still wouldn't be enough time to read all the books we want lol. Btw I have seen the Shannara tv series but of course the books are always better than the movies or tv series.I listed some books I've been reading lately on Other Books (non King) What are you reading? pt 2 thread.
The Stand is my favorite book from all the Kings books I've read plus it was my first book I've ever read written by Stephen King.
Thanks for the recs mrbooks! I look them up and see what catches my eye and put it on my to-read list.
Hi J.J. It's no problem I to love the stand but have to stay loyal to the first king book I read which happens to also be his first published book. Other favorites are The Green Mile, The Long Walk and Rita Hayworth and the shawshank redemption. Apt pupil is a good but rather disturbing story.
I don't mind disturbing.If you're a fantasy reader I rec Stormlight Archives series and Mistborn trilogy both by Brandon Sanderson. He's a master world builder and his magic system is original compared to any other. In my opinion they're a must read now kind of books and guaranteed 4 to 5 star books. They won't let you down. The Name of the Wind series is another good one by Patrick Rothfuss.
I have read the Stormlight Archives also the Mistborn trilogy, I read them after I finished the wheel of time which he finished for Robert Jordan. I will look up Patrick Rothfuss Name of the wind series.
I love the WoT, I've read all 14 books twice and the audiobook version too. YouTube has a treasure trove of audiobooks. I take advantage of them before they get delete off the site. lol
I only use it at work but don't count the books in my read folder, to me read means I read it not someone else. If I did that I could increase my read file to over 700 books as I am getting through 1 to2 books a week and sometimes 3.
Ah, I have another scif fantasy series for you mrbooks. One of my favorites series and added the author as one of my favs too.Red Rising
Golden Son]
Morning Star
Iron Gold
Pierce Brown
I will give them a go, I will see if I can find them on youtube and listen to them at work, I need something new to listen to. Thanks J.J.

"There is something immediately comforting about entering a home filled with books." Great comment. I know what you mean. I often get the e-book and the paperback, especially of a really long book, so that I can reference quotes I like and follow my progress. But definitely, have problems with the "smashing my nose" as I fall asleep with a big book and realizing that my Kindle weighs nothing and it's lit so I don't keep my wife away while reading late into the night.
