Rating: 5 / 5 11/22/63 by Stephen King has been high on my list of books I wanted to get to for a long time, though the size was a bit intimidating. When there was not one, but two buddy reads scheduled for this book in May, it was time to give it a read.… Continue reading 11/22/63 by Stephen King

UNDER THE DOME by Stephen King
Rating: 4 / 5 The King Buddy Reads book for March was UNDER THE DOME. This book is massive! When I picked it up from the library and realized how heavy it was, I have to say I was intimidated with the idea of getting through it this month. And then I binged the audiobook… Continue reading UNDER THE DOME by Stephen King
CHRISTINE by Stephen King
Rating: 4 / 5 The King Buddy Reads book for February was CHRISTINE by (of course) Stephen King. This is one I had read before, but I picked it up on audio to reread with the group. CHRISTINE is told from the perspective of high schooler Dennis Guilder. His best friend Arnie Cunningham is a… Continue reading CHRISTINE by Stephen King
THE INSTITUTE by Stephen King
Rating: 4 / 5 I have been part of the team hosting a buddy read for THE INSTITUTE by Stephen King over the last several weeks and it has been a ton of fun. For anyone who joined us, thank you so much for making this such a great experience! THE INSTITUTE begins with Tim,… Continue reading THE INSTITUTE by Stephen King
JOYLAND by Stephen King
Rating: 4.5 / 5 The King Buddy Reads group on Instagram book for November was JOYLAND by Stephen King, a nice short read breaking from the King tradition of heavy arm workout tomes! This was my first time reading JOYLAND as it isn't one I had actually heard of prior to seeing it on the… Continue reading JOYLAND by Stephen King
DOCTOR SLEEP by Stephen King
Rating: 4.5 / 5 The King Buddy Reads group on Instagram book for October was DOCTOR SLEEP, following up on September's read of THE SHINING. This was my first time reading DOCTOR SLEEP and I was excited to find this one for a bargain at a used bookstore sale recently, so it was perfect timing!… Continue reading DOCTOR SLEEP by Stephen King
THE SHINING by Stephen King
Rating: 4.5 / 5 The King Buddy Reads group on Instagram book for September was THE SHINING, a true classic Stephen King novel. This was a reread for me, but it had been quite a while and it was the perfect read as we head into fall. Jack Torrance is a man attempting to remain… Continue reading THE SHINING by Stephen King
THE LONG WALK by Stephen King
Rating: 4 / 5 The King Buddy Reads group on Instagram book for August was THE LONG WALK, one of the Bachman novels Stephen King wrote under his alias Richard Bachman before his secret identity was brought to light. This was a reread for me, but not one I remembered well, so I decided to… Continue reading THE LONG WALK by Stephen King
DUMA KEY by Stephen King
Rating: 5 / 5 I have been slowly going through Stephen King's backlist, reading or reading mostly in order to pick up some that I had missed and revisit some old favorites. Timing worked out perfectly when I saw that the King Buddy Reads group on Instagram was going to be reading DUMA KEY in… Continue reading DUMA KEY by Stephen King
ON WRITING: A MEMOIR OF THE CRAFT by Stephen King
Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stephen King is an author that my dad introduced me to many years ago (possibly at an earlier age than one might generally think Stephen King reading to be suitable). Even now we discuss when he has a new book coming out and whether or not each of us has read… Continue reading ON WRITING: A MEMOIR OF THE CRAFT by Stephen King
