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. 3w

5feet.of.fury @TieDyeDude I‘m having that issue finding Salem‘s Lot with the new adaptation 😩 3w

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. 🩸 3w

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 😸 3w

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. 3w

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. 3w

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! 3w

BarkingMadRead @Balibee146 uh oh now I‘m gonna be on the lookout for sport coats! 3w

Balibee146 @BarkingMadRead you can't unsee them.... I think there's fewer in th later novels.... Maybe we could have a tag for #sportcoatspotting 3w

BarkingMadRead @Balibee146 I‘m all about the hashtags! 3w

BarkingMadRead @Balibee146 also, check out pics of Stephen king, he wears them a lot 🤣 3w

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 ??? 3w

Carrie | Stephen King

I am joining the new cycle of the Losers Club with my first read of #Carrie. I had to buy a new copy and I like these new editions but 🤮 the fake sticker printed on it. I had no idea this was such a short book!

BookwormAHN Rattlesnakes was the best 🖤 2mo

Bookwormjillk Like a lot of King‘s books I thought the endings for several of these stories didn‘t stick the landing. Overall I liked it though. 2mo

5feet.of.fury My notes from the stories I made it through: Two Talented Bastids- would have really worked in long form, with more background on the son it could have been great, but it was good. I hated Fifth Step & Willie the Weirdo (WtW immediately no when the young girls breasts were described) 2mo

5feet.of.fury
Danny Coughlins Bad Dream- liked it, I enjoyed that Jalbert was complex and really seeking Justice if misguided. Arithmomania was interesting. I wanted the best for Danny to get out of his predicament and go live with Stevie and hike. 2mo

5feet.of.fury Finn- did not like the torture.

On Slide Inn Road- good. Different reactions from the family under pressure.

Red Screen- AKA local man thinks it‘s more likely his wife has been body snatched by aliens than that he wore her down with weaponized incompetence. 2mo
