Woot woot to Stephen King! I’m not reading anymore of his books til I read the entire Dark Tower series. I’m tired of not understanding those references he makes!
LikeLiked by 1 person
Depends on which book you are reading I guess. So far I survived by reading only the first Dark Tower book. I started my Stephen King journey with Under the Dome, then moved on to Carrie, The Shining, Pet Cemetery and sooo on. Maybe that’s why but maybe I just never got Dark Tower references 😀

Yeah, IT and 11/22/63 both have references and I totally don’t understand them. Haha.

Yes! Getting closer to finishing out my collection. Less than 20 to go! I’ll let you know how And I Darken is once I read it! Bookishfirst is a website (bookishfirst.com) where they offer chapter samplers of books. Once you read the sampler you have to write up a first impression. Once you submit that you are entered into a raffle to win the book! I’ve won 2 off this site but only received one…I’m not sure if they offer it outside the US though. That would be something you would have to look into. I know they offer ebooks as well as physical copies so maybe.
