I Read Stephen King Books for a Week...

I had never read a Stephen King book until my favorite author recommend I pick one up, and ever since the hyper fixation began. Hence, this video was born.

The urge to read Stephen King now. Thanks Haley for being such an inspiration!

To me, the scariest book he wrote is Pet Sematary. It just touched something inside of me that made me shiver. Apparently, he agrees.

Been a fan of the King for 30 years and it makes me happy to see young folk getting into him

I love how openminded you are when reading new genres. It's been so cool to see you dive in to new things. If you can handle Misery though, I think you can handle a good amount of horror out there. Misery haunts me, but people scare me more than monsters or ghosts ever will. If you want to try scary Stephen King books that have a very human element, I recommend Dolores Claiborne, Carrie, and The Stand.

hes my favorite author, his mind is insane and he can go to places some people can't. He is so fantastic, I love him and find him endlessly fascinating

I’m so glad you enjoyed 11/22/63!! I read it in 2020 when I was getting back into reading and it’s still one of my favorites I’ve ever read. And now you’ve convinced me to put billy summers at the top of my tbr!

I would LOVE to see a part 2 to this. I’d love to see you give IT a go!!

I think it's so fun working in a bookstore and seeing girlies come in less than a week after you drop a new reading video and buy the same books you recommended. I noticed it after your video about Tomorrow Tomorrow Tomorrow came out because no one ever bought it then suddenly a week after your vid dropped we couldn't keep it on the shelves lol. So now I try to watch your vids right away so I know what to expect that week and because who doesn't love a good reading vlog?? Anyway, thanks for being a positive influence in the book world!

Hi Haley!! Video Idea: Maybe you can read books that you read when you were younger!! If you do this video I really recommend “Out of My Mind” It’s such a good book!! I love your videos and how you make my day brighter :D - Thanks

I've been reading Stephen King for 30 years and he is, without a doubt, my favorite author! It's so cool to see people discovering his work and immediately falling in love. He definitely has some weird stuff, but also true masterpieces. Btw, you should totally read the Mr Mercedes trilogy (also known as the Bill Hodges trilogy) - it's not a horror, but a psychological thriller, an intricate game of cats and mouse. Uncle Stevie at his finest!

This was so fun to watch! Reminded me of how fun it was to discover his books for the first time. When you get a chance, you should definitely watch the movie adaptation of Misery - it's fantastic

I understand what you mean when you describe getting assurance and comfort from his books. I've been reading his books as a teenager and always go back to them for comfort (even his horror) because I know that whatever I pick up, it's going to be brilliant and worth investing time in. Would recommend The Dead Zone and The Running Man - underrated classics!

Haley I was in a huge reading slump for a year up until October 2021, when I found your channel! I got myself a kindle and started binging your videos. You got me to love my favorite thing in the world again, and I’m so happy because books are so magical honestly. Thank you for always uploading, I love watching you and your husband ALL the time. Love you!!!!

[amalieklausen]

You got me into reading again Haley! Thank you for your honest opinions on books and you being you🥰

[tomesandlies]

A book video from Haley and Katie??? Is this paradise ??

[closertheheart]

Misery is my favorite novel he's written. King is the reason I started writing and publishing my short stories. The guy is so down to Earth and loves sharing his secrets on writing. A lot of what he says in 'On Writing', inspired me to get off my ass and go for it. Enjoy reading more of his work, and good luck on your future writing journey. It's all worth the effort. **On a side note, The Outsider is great too.

You are literally the reason why I want to start a reading channel, because I love watching you talk about books so passionately.
