Home before dark is my favourite book of this year so far. You could never guess the ending ha ha.

[katherinebishop]

Stephen King himself says Pet Sematary is his most disturbing book. It’s good. I just finished The Shining and I loved it. The Kubrick movie takes some liberties with the story, so I treat the book and the movie as two different stories.

[holbrookjr]

I feel like The Shining or Pet Sematary are both great introductions to Stephen King. Also, if you enjoy short story collections, Night Shift is wonderful. 😊😊

[lev.lately]

Have I ever mentioned that I LOVE how you tag the genres each book falls under? Because I LOVE IT

[valentinabunnell]

Pet Sematary is scary in how it addresses hard emotional topics, but I didn’t find myself super spooked by it (still think it’s an amazing book). The Shining is my favorite King book and I started with that too, other than that I’d recommend Misery!

[thebookgeek]

🤣 the curtain scare... You conjured up something lol... true crime scares the hell outta me too... I'm also reading Frankenstein... i started it & would really like to finish it

[tanyaball]

My first Stephen King book was the summer before 8th grade. We were at Girl Scout Camp and everybody was giggling over a book called Stephen King's IT (there is cursing and private parts, and we were all naive). I read that 1100+ sucker in three days, under the covers with a flashlight, while eating, you get the picture. It remains my favorite, and you NEED to read it at some point! However, for October, I would go with Pet Semetary. It spooked me out more than the Shining or IT.

[SammyBrooke]

The long walk is a good Stephen king book to start with because it’s not very scary but you get a feel for his writing😊

[sabrinaford]

I have a very ambitious TBR also. I'm reading some horror romance, vampire books, thrillers, and ghost books. And my yearly rereads of Dracula and Frankenstein

[esliet]

Wow I love all of your purchases, I need to save my pennies because I want I day just like this. Yellowface has been one of my favorites this summer 🦖

[mikellecallahan]

That's called atmosphere when the curtains move on n their own. That's awesome along with your spooky books.

[chiacchieretralerighe]

I love that edition of The raven boys, I‘ve never seen it before!!! I have a very ambitious TBR too, they're all very chunky books. But October if my favorite month of the year so it deserves a super TBR!

[naastyaaaaaaaaa]

Awwww! I read Small Spaces to my 7-year-old cousin before bed (to prepare her for Halloween and all that) and she LOVES it.. :))
Good book, it even spooked me a few times😅

[rebeccastgeorge]

One of my favorite Steven King books is misery such a great book

[ciarascorner]

This is an EPIC tbr! Not sure how far you've gotten with Stephen King BUT, I'm actually doing a Stephen King 24 hour readathon next weekend (23rd & 24th Oct) if you fancy joining! And The Shining was the first Stephen King I read and I loved it - super chilling and spooky - it's now my second favourite King (after Misery)!

[LornaWallace]

I'd love to see a vlog of you reading and watching The Shining! It's one of my favourite King books. Would also love to see a Frankenstein reading vlog!

[angeladuckett]

When I started reading King I was in high School and my first book was Misery. I’ve read quite a few of his books but not even close to all of them. There have been one I loved and ones I haven’t. I definitely suggest Misery, Dolores Claiborne, Rose Madder, The Green Mile, and The Outsider....those were some of my absolute favorites.

[ericnast]

Hey! This is my first video with you. My first Stephan King book was Misery, when I was in high school. I read it in one day! I do think Pet Sematary is the scariest piece. Thank you for your great video! 💙💙

[theheatherscanread]

Can verify moving to Maine is worth it in the fall (and every other season!). We would love to have you!! Also I say start with The Shining, it’s my favorite Stephen King. Better to read it in fall than during a snow storm for sure so it doesn’t feel TOO real :)

[holdenbeachever]

Home Before Dark is so good!! May end up being my top book of 2020 🤔
