I thought this week’s loves could be on the dark side since it’s almost Halloween! I have had a long, long love of Stephen King novels. Salem’s Lot was the first real novel I really read that wasn’t, like, The Babysitter’s Club (which I also LOVED don’t get me started about my Kid Kits) when I was 12 or s0, and I must have read it hundreds of times. IT will always be in the top of my favorites list and I used to act it out with my bff and sister, and when I sit down to think about it, it’s probably easier to list his books that I haven’t read. He’s just a total wacko. And while I will admit that it has been years since I have sat down with a Stephen King novel, I really did spend the better part of my youth curled up with library book after library book literally trying to read them all. He’ll always hold a special place in my heart for being the first to ever scare the hell out of me.
And now, onto the fun!

Well you got me on Stephen King…not really a horror/scary movie kind of girl. Although I have seen the Shining. I think I may have watched it to try and impress a boyfriend…LOL! And then probably had nightmares for months!

Lish! His books are so good. Try reading the Shining!
you can put it in the freezer like Rachel.
Oh Stephen King, I’ve loved everything of his that I’ve read other than the Tommyknockers, which just dragged a bit too much for me.. Pet semetary and Cujo were particularly good, but The shining is probably my favourite. haven’t tried salems lot, is that the vampire one?
Yes! It’s fantastic.
And I think the same thing with Tommyknockers, I don’t think I got through that one, but it was sooo long ago that I don’t remember. But, that one stands out as a “neverfinisheddidn’tlike” in my head.
Stephen King books are amazing. When I was young, well, still, my dad has read / reads all Stephen King. I don’t know when I got my hands on my first book, but I can tell you when I saw IT for the first time, to this day I hate clowns. But, seriously, his books are so great. I think I might have to pull one out now!

I know, this post inspired me to read one too!
“It” scares the heck out of me. To this day. But, his other books/films are really good and anytime “The Shining” is on TV, I have to watch it!
And I don’t think I ever finished “The Tommyknockers” either. It was just too convoluted.
Also…Kids kits?? OMG! I loved The Babysitter’s Club! I remember back in elementary school my friends and I tried to start our own babysitter’s club. LOL, thanks for bringing back that memory

Haha! I think I have read the entire Babysitters Club series 20 times! Loved them.
I think I’m too much of a scaredy-cat for these books! Especially since I do most of my reading at night….I would never get to sleep! Thanks so much for having me as your co-host this week!

I LOVE Stephen King!!
Stephen King scares the crap out of me, so you would think I wouldn’t read or watch his movies but I do!
