Hi there, fellow King connoisseur's! 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!
Welcome Amber and a very happy Mothers Day! Always awesome to have a Constant Reader aboard. Hope you can join our monthly readings as we go through King.
Hi Amber,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.
Hi my name is Stephanie and I have been a King fan since read Carrie back when I was in school many years ago. I have all but 5 of his books in hardback first editions, just received The Outsider today in the mail. Look forward to being apart of the group.

I still have a lot to collect though.
Hi Stephanie, welcome. I've got a lot of first editions, still missing eight I think (Canadian exchange rate keeps the collecting slow). It's definitely a challenge, especially for SK's older books and The Dark Tower. Hope you attain the five.
Hi, I think the first Stephen King book I read was Pet Semetary in High School. I just finished The Outsider. I have read a lot in between but, far from all of it. I would probably have read a lot more and possibly more of them in order if libraries weren't so creepy. I have always enjoyed reading an occasional book but, it became a far more consistent thing when my kids started learning to read. Now I am usually reading one book and listening to another.
Hello. My name is Jorge from Sinaloa, Mexico. I joined the group about 2 years ago, I only have read only a few books of the master but I expect to read some more, I hope I can make some friends here that also enjoy reading King, he is my favorite writer, I love the guy and I admire him a lot.
Hi, my name is Lara. I’m 20 years old and I read Stephen King since I was 15. My fist one was Carry, my favourite was Misery and It and currently I’m reading The outsider. I’m from Belgium and I’m new in the group! X
Welcome everyone! I hope you enjoy our group.
Hi everyone, my name is Gabriel, I am from Slovakia (abbr. SK .. coincidence? :) ) and I am an absolute Stephen King fan :) My first book from him was The Green Mile and it fasinated me. Then The Shining and other books I raise my addiction on his books :) Actually I am on my road to The Dark Tower by the Wind Through the Keyhole. I am also new in the group and I hope I find here new ideas, interesting discussions, and nice people :)Have a nice day for all :)
Welcome Gabriel!! The Dark Tower series has become my favorite SK read!! Used to be The Stand but I changed my mind after reading through the whole series 3 times now!,
Hello everyone! 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!
Hi! My name is Jillian and I am a new Stephen King fan. I just finished the talisman and loved it. I was sad to finish it. Now I am on to black house and excited to see what happens next. I'm glad to have found a group that I can join and discuss his books with. 😀

Better read The Outsider. There's a connection.

I'll request it from my library today!
Hi, I'm Jen and have been a big SK fan for a long while. Just finished The Outsider and loved it and am feeling that I need to go back and re-read a good few SK classics. My old copies are looking dated as well so it is a good excuse to buy new, updated editions ;-) Thinking of a mini binge of The Shining followed by Dr Sleep. Looking forward to chatting with other constant readers.

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

hi all i am Tammie i love Stephen kings books
Hi from Germany. Faithful SK-Reader in my early teens (early 90s), fell out of touch for while until i saw him live at a reading for Doctor Sleep. Since then im back in full SK-fanboy-mode, buying every new book on the day its released, catching up on his late 90s early 2000 stuff and re-reading the classics. Glad i found this group and likeminded people.

Hi. My name is Fee. I live in Florida with my daughter and two grandchildren. I've been a Constant Reader since 1974. Eagerly awaiting King's newest book: Elevation! I can't wait!

cool would you say its connected to his other books in any way or is it stand alone ?
Hi, I'm Pam. Live in Denver with my husband and 2 boys. I've been reading SK since I was 11 and found Christine in my elementary school library. Happy to be here! New to the group trying goodreads again for the first time in years. Before I got so caught up in my shelves I didnt do much in the way of groups and friends. Hoping to be a bit more sociable this time. 😊
I can't remember when I read and what I read first (must have been either carrie or it) but I remember watching Pet cemetary movie in secret with my friends when I was 6 or 7 and I was so traumatized 😂. That movie was one of the reasons why I wanted to read King later on.

To me, it seemed like a stand alone.
