i adore (almost) everything king puts out. the way he writes is so enjoyable to read, it's like taking the best middle sandwich bite over and over again. his characterzation, story-telling, and detail skills are unmatched. there's a reason why he's the goat.... also, being a writer, he is such an inspiration for me and how i choose to write :') i want my stories to be as rich and immersive as his are; they really transport you to a different place entirely. i'm challenging myself to read everything he's published, but i don't have a time limit bc there are sooooo many 🤓 so far this year, i've read seven, and an halfway through an eighth! here's the ones of 2024 in the order i read them: the green mile, pet semetary, the bill hodges trilogy (mr. mercedes, finders keepers, and end of watch), the gunslinger (the dark tower series #1), and holly. i'm halfway through fairy tale, currently! please tell me if we can queen out over mr. king together...
