My name is Amber, I am a SK addict. I'm a military wife, home educating mom to three, a boardgame maven, and a book reader/hoarder.
There is an honorary SK only bookcase in my living room. Hardback, paperback, collector's editions, anything SK and family (because Joe Hill is a new fav) is welcome on that bookcase. The whole family understands and participates in aiding my addiction. There's nary a used or new bookstore, or thrift store, around that we don't go straight to the King section to see if they have any of the few I don't have.
The first King book I read (Rose Madder) was 22-23 years ago. A military brat in The Land of the Midnight Sun, I have always been an avid reader. Now, here I am back in The Land of The Midnight Sun and still just as in love with reading and SK books as I was after devouring the story of Rose. Being a Halloween baby I had seen many SK movie and series adaptations, but nothing beats the book.
My love and addiction has rubbed off on my amazing hubby. He currently finished the Bill Hodges trilogy and is reading Gwendys Button Box.
I'm excited to be around my King peers and hear your thoughts on all things SK, new and old.
Happy Mother's Day to all the SK fan moms out there!


And welcome to the SK fan club. I am a retiree from the USAF, never got to the land of the midnight sun, but always wanted to. I hope you enjoy your stay here we are looking forward to you input.


Wow, that's impressive. I'm trying to collect all of his books too, but they aren't first editions. I still have a lot to collect though.





Have a nice day for all :)


I'm L-B, not been on Goodreads very long but have been a fan of King for a very very long time!
Fell out of touch with his new work so need to catch up, haven't read anything new since the Bill Hodges trilogy!
If anyone would like to add me please feel free my feed is rather dead!

Better read The Outsider. There's a connection.

I'll request it from my library today!


If you loved the Outsider you might consider reading (or rereading) The Mercedes Trilogy.

Yes, a reread might be in order soon :-)

I agree, imho it's a reuqirement to be a little crazy in a good way to enjoy King's masterpieces :)


We all love his works 99%of the time lol

I won't say welcome, I will say welcome back instead to SK fandome


I've read it. I thought it was pretty good.

To me, it seemed like a stand alone.

Welcome Pam

How old was I when I first read Stephen King? You won't believe it. I can't believe it.
