TieDyeDude My reading for the second half of October has been slow and my library still doesn't have copies of this available. I think the announcement of the new series probably had an effect on availability. I'm going to try to read this in November, since I read Salem's Lot recently. I did see an article about the new show and a hope that they cast a full-figure lead since Carrie is supposed to be heavier. 11mo
5feet.of.fury @TieDyeDude I‘m having that issue finding Salem‘s Lot with the new adaptation 😩 11mo

5feet.of.fury I liked Carrie, soooooo to the point compared to newer King, still good character studies just shortened. I liked the way the story was kind of bookended. 🩸 11mo
BookwormAHN I'm also on a 10 wk wait for Salem's Lot but it is a reread for me. I think I enjoyed Carrie more this go round. This also may be the only King book where he really stays with this story and we don't get everyone on the planet's backstory 😸 11mo
Bookwormjillk @BookwormAHN yes! He was a lot more concise in this book! And add me to the list of people having trouble getting a copy of Salem‘s Lot. 11mo
Balibee146 This was my first read of Carrie and I was surprised how short it was. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would as exposure to bits of the films meant it didn't hugely appeal to me. I think the writing style with the patchwork of voices /reporting style lifted an otherwise "by the numbers" plot progression. 11mo
Balibee146 Oh and I didn't spot any mentions of a character wearing a "sportcoat" in this one. Over the course of reading my first few King novels that kept getting mentioned and it isn't a terminology we use in the UK so I noticed it.... Then got a bit obsessed with it being mentioned often ..... I shall be annoying you all with "Spoartcoat" Spotting as the months go by... Sorry! 11mo
BarkingMadRead @Balibee146 uh oh now I‘m gonna be on the lookout for sport coats! 11mo
Balibee146 @BarkingMadRead you can't unsee them.... I think there's fewer in th later novels.... Maybe we could have a tag for #sportcoatspotting 11mo
BarkingMadRead @Balibee146 I‘m all about the hashtags! 11mo
BarkingMadRead @Balibee146 also, check out pics of Stephen king, he wears them a lot 🤣 11mo
Balibee146 @BarkingMadRead as I said.... It's a bit of an obsession of mine so.... Many hashtaggings to come. Yeah when I googled "Sport Coat Stephen King" I saw that ??? 11mo

Finished Carrie today. Probably did not think my lunch through very well while listening though 😅🩸Took an unintentionally long break from #LosersClub but it was nice to read King again. I can‘t believe I‘ve never read this one till now although I did read a lot about it from On Writing. Claimed 2 more word search words and blood for the book cover scavenger hunt. #HauntedShelf #SkeletonCrew #BookSpinBingo #ReadAway2024 #Spookoween #31by31 ⬇️

MatchlessMarie Claiming for #witchathon since there are a lot of witch references in this one although no actual witches but I guess that could be up for debate 🤣 12mo
BarkingMadRead Yeahhhh I dunno about that lunch, it matches your book cover 🤣 12mo

Mehso-so

You don't really need a synopsis for this book do you? OK, how about bullied teenager uses telekinetic powers to get revenge at the prom.

After reading several of King's other books & not liking them, I decided to finally read one of his books that most people seem to rave about (to see if the problem was the particular books I'd read before) & it was.....ok. It wasn't bad but it wasn't earth-shatteringly good either.

OutsmartYourShelf It was mercifully quite short (I read The Stand & that was tough going) so the author didn't have quite as much time to go all around the houses instead of getting to the point. I skipped the pig killing scene. 3⭐

Started this one last night. I forgot how much I like this book.

Balibee146 I really enjoyed my first read of it.... That's a great cover 💜 the colour palette - I'm guessing this is your new copy? 12mo
Bookwormjillk That's the cover I have too. It's a nice one. 12mo
Sace @Balibee146 Yep. Who knows what happened to the copy I had in high school. Probably donated or lost in the many moves I‘ve made since then. 12mo
Sace @Bookwormjillk Agree. I like the art. 12mo
