Welcome Jody

[LTJ]

@Jody: Welcome and very cool! I also love IT as that was the first King novel I read and have been hooked ever since :-)

[Martha]

It must depend on the books though. I have loved all the SK books I've reread recently ... just as much or more than the first time. Guess it depends on the author! :-)

[LTJ]

@Martha: Yes, same here as I know what you mean :-)

[Volana]

Hi!
My name is Volana from Madagascar.
I'm a huge fan of Stephen King, Mark Lukens, Nick Cutter and Freida McFadden.
If you know other good Horror and Thriller authors let me know.
Thanks

[LTJ]

@Volana: Welcome, my friend! You came to the right place as this group works. I'd recommend Brian Keene, Shirley Jackson, and Grady Hendrix for you, all horror/thriller :-)

[Lyle]

Hello everyone. A new member here as of today. I started reading King about 1980 and still enjoy his work today. My favourite author of many that I read. Salems Lot is one of my all time go to reads, as I love a good vampire story. Just read Fairy Tale which was wonderful. Thanks for having me.

[LTJ]

@Lyle: Welcome as you came to the right place! Same here, King is and forever will be my all-time favorite author. I also loved 'Salem's Lot but when I first read IT, I was immediately hooked!

[LTJ]

@Hayley: Welcome and that's awesome! Cujo was the second novel by King I ever read right after IT, such a crazy horror novel! I'd say if you haven't read Misery yet, it's definitely one of his best novels ever in my opinion :-)

[Erin]

Welcome all new members!

[Teresa]

Hi. My name is Teresa. A very big Stephen King fan been reading his books since 1988.

[LTJ]

@Teresa: Welcome and awesome, also been a King fan for many years. I know I read IT, my first ever King novel, when I was a teenager so it's been about 20-ish years for me :-)

[Teresa]

@LTJ Thanks for the welcome. My first was Pet Cemetery and loved every word. What’s your name?

[LTJ]

@Teresa: You are very welcome! Pet Semetary rocked and my name is Luis :-)

[Erin]

Welcome Teresa

[Paul]

Hey everyone I'm new here and after reading IT I'm becoming slightly obsessed with SK, so thanks for having me here

[LTJ]

@Paul: Welcome and very awesome! LoL IT was also the first novel I ever read by Stephen King as a teenager and have been hooked ever since, you came to the right place :-D

[Alex]

Hello I'm Alex. I started reading as a hobby this year and recently found out about Goodreads. I've been enjoying Brandon Sanderson and Stephen King books so far. The Stand is currently my favorite King book followed by The Shining. Nice to meet you all.

[LTJ]

@Alex: Welcome and that's so awesome you got into reading as a hobby this year! You came to the right place as I also love The Shining, IT, Cujo, Misery, Carrie, and so many others :-D

I have yet to read The Stand but it's on my TBR, maybe early 2023!

Thanks for the welcome LTJ. I'm eager to read more of his work!

[LTJ]

@Alex: You're very welcome, my new friend! Same here, LoL funny enough, one of my lifetime reading goals is to read everything he's written at least once. LoL will obviously take some time but I'm chipping away each year :-D

[Adam]

Hey, i'm Adam. Been a constant reader for a few years. I've never followed a reading schedule before so excited to give it a try. I'm looking for more people to engage with and talk with about the world of books. I've just started reading Fairy Tale, so if anybody wants to talk about it as I read feel free to get in touch.

Also recently started the Dark Tower series so will be returning to that soon, hopefully. My favourite SK at the moment has to be either Pet Semetary (for the ending) or just the expanse of The Stand. I've heard good things about Fairy Tale, so i'm excited to get going with it!

[LTJ]

@Adam: Welcome as that's pretty awesome! Yeah, I know what you mean, I've always enjoyed groups/bookclubs since it keeps me focused on actually reading the monthly group reads on a daily basis. At least for me, it definitely helps :-)

I finished Fairy Tale in September and absolutely loved it, happy reading!

@Jody Hi Jody. Like you I have been on good reads for awhile but just started getting active a little while ago. Partly to do the book challenge and partly because of this group. I read Carrie when it first came out, have been a Stephen King fan ever since. Of all his books I think Misery was the scariest. Most of his work you can chalk up to, imagination. Misery was just a little too real.

@Lyle Hi. I began reading his work back in the '70's. Started with Carrie and continued reading up to Delores Clabourne. Just getting back to his works. Salem's Lot is definitely one of my favourites, just read it a few months ago. As great the second time as the first.

@Adam Hi I don't follow a reading schedule, but lots of interesting comments here. I haven't read Fairy Tale yet but a lot of folks are talking about so is on my to read list. Currently I am reading non-fiction but all the talk about King and Koontz is definitely getting me interested in taking a break and getting back to fiction in between.

[Emily]

Hello
My name is Emily and I am from Sacramento, California. I just joined this group because I am an avid Stephan King reader. I am currently reading Needful Things but I am always on the lookout for something new and exciting of his to read. I look forward to having some discussion and connecting with others :)

[LTJ]

@Emily: Welcome and very awesome! Also an avid reader of King as well and hope you enjoy Needful Things! It's on my TBR as I plan to get to it one of these days, happy reading :-)

Have you read Fairy Tale by King yet? Not really horror, more of a fantasy but my goodness, it was AMAZING to me and might even be my favorite novel of 2022!

[Emily]

Hello!!!
I have it downloaded and it’s on my list but I haven’t gotten far with it but it sounds so interesting to me!

[LTJ]

@Emily: Ohhhhhhhh, awesome! I thought it was fantastic but it's definitely a long read. LoL worth every minute thought once things start getting revealed and happening :-)

[Noel]

Hi everybody. I am a huge SK fan. Have read almost everything he's written. Favs were IT, The Langoliers, Wizard & Glass, Rose Madder, Firestarter, Black House, The Talisman, Misery... oh why bother, I'll just end up listing all of them.

[LTJ]

@Noel: Welcome and same here, those are all some amazing novels! LoL indeed, I feel the same way, I've never read anything by King that was bad. Ever.

[Olga]

Dobrý den, děkuju za přijetí do této skupiny. Stephana Kinga mám velmi ráda. Jeho horory se mi líbí, proto jsem se do této skupiny přihlásila

[Olga]

Dobrý den. Děkuju za přijetí do této skupiny. Spisovatele Stephana Kinga mám velmi ráda. Líbí se mi jeho knihy, hororové příběhy, proto jsem se sem přihlásila. Četla jsem hodně jeho knih, Christina, Žhářka,
a spousty dalších. Doma bohužel žádnou knihu od tohoto mou oblíbeného autora nevlastním, knihy jsem měla půjčené z knihovny anebo od kamarádů a protože jsou pro mě čtivé a velmi zajímavé určitě si nějakou zakoupím do své knihovny, abych měla nějakou knihu od tohoto vynikajícího autora.

[LTJ]

@Olga: Welcome :-)

[Emily]

[Deity World]

Hi all pleased to meet you I am a new Stephen king reader and have so far read 3 of his books. Gotta say they are much scarier than the movies.

[Cobaltdragon]

@Deity World Hello and welcome to a great group. I agree his books are definitely scarier than the movies. I enjoy his writing style, keeps you going right up to the last chapter. Which 3 have you read? I started years ago with Carrie. This year I read Salem's Lot for the second time. Planning to revisit a number of his other books.

[Deity World]

Hello I have currently read - fairytale, Carrie, pet semetary and Cujo, Cujo is the only movie I haven’t seen. I also enjoyed his book on writing too.

[Cobaltdragon]

3 great reads. I haven't seen the updated version of Carrie - I watched the original. Saw Cujo - creepy movie. Think I saw Pet Cemetary, but I preferred the book. The Shining is also a great read and the movie was equally creepy. Interesting book as it is based on a real hotel that Stephen King stayed at, where he got the idea for the book.
