I am at Danse Macabre on my reread journey.I have to admit......I wasn't looking forward to it like I do all other King books.I didn't remember a damn thing about it but still wasn't thrilled to get to it.HOWEVER! I am loving it! It is kind of reminding me of Jean Sheapards (sp?) writing style.I admit that I have always been a fan of horror ( not a hard core type ) and maybe that helps.I keep finding myself cracking up and it feels very much like Stephen King is in the room doing a live discussion.Weird and disconcerting but awesome:) Recently I gave audiobooks another whirl.I think it was Blood and Smoke(?) and for me the best part of the whole shebang was the intro given by Mr.King.
I love Danse Macabre. On my top 10 list.

I've been doing a 52 book challenge in 2015, so far I've only managed 5 SK books of the 40 I've read, will squeeze in a couple more before the end!

I put together an Excel list recently to keep track of which SK books I'd read and what I still need to get to. To my surprise taking into account novels, co-written novels, Dark Tower novels, short story collections, novellas and non fiction, that added up to around 75 titles of which I've only read a piddling 31. Less than half! 2016 is the year I put a big dent in that.

It's 2016 and wondering whereabouts everyone is in their reread journey? I am starting Pet Semetary.I have to better balance my book reading in 2016.Last year all of my "other" books felt lonely so they started procreating and now I have more books than I know what to do with;;D
