    Girl on the Train

    Just read this book this week as I wanted to read it before seeing the movie. Anyone else out there feel like it had almost the exact same storyline/plot as Joe Hill's "Horns" without all the supernatural-guy turning into the devil type thing?

    Cujo reference?

    Cujo was fresh in my mind as I read it a few months ago!

    Cujo reference?

    On page 234 Holly mentions that Round Here's concert tour was sponsored by Sharp Cereal. Is this a shoutout to Cujo?

    Joe Hill

    To add to my post, I just realized there is a coda at the end of the book that supports this in a way.

    Reading & keeping books in good shape

    I'm a bit obsessive too. But mostly with SK and Joe Hill books. Like I have 4 copies of The Fireman (one is an advanced reader's copy, one is from Joe's local indie bookstore, and 2 are from his book signing - I got one copy personalized and the other my grandma just read then gave it back) and...

    Box Set?!

    Ditto! A nice addition to anyone's SK collection.

    Joe Hill

    Yes, that's what he said when I went to his event in Florida. And don't know if I was fever dreaming or not but I think he said The Fireman was the first book he's written where he actually has an urge to return to the same characters. ANDDDD AMC will be developing NOS4A2 into a show (well I'm...

    Old Man and the Sea. I would rather watch paint dry.

    Joe Hill

    To be honest, she practically admitted she didn't know all of the details yet from the publishers. But yes, if you YouTube Joe Hill events they are usually of him doing a reading. So that would likely be my best guess. I already have preordered a signed copy from Joe's independent bookstore and...

    Joe Hill

    Florida Joe, I'm up in Tampa and am planning on taking that day off so I can get there and explore the town a little (I've never been down to the Miami area). I called the bookstore and it's free and open to the public. You don't need to buy the book from them to attend. However, I asked if you...

    I'm no book reviewer but I got my hands on an ARC copy also and this is a damn good book. Amazing writing and story telling all around.

    Struggled with this one

    I loved this book! I'm being a little bias here but I liked the rural Pennsylvania setting and one of the main characters name is Curtis (and I'm a Kurt). I feel like this book was SK's long approach at explaining SSDD happens and you may never know why and nobody is deserved an explanation...

    Box Set?!

    Is this real?! I like the new black covers. The Bill Hodges Trilogy Boxed Set: Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keepers, and End of Watch: Stephen King: 9781501142062: Amazon.com: Books

    Preferred method of reading?

    E-book, hardcover/paperback, or audio file? I've always been a hardcover fan but I recently moved and it is a pain in the neck to pack up and move. I think I'm going to switch to the e-book way instead of hardcover except for SK and Joe Hill books. As far as e-books go, what device do more...

    New(ish?) covers

    I noticed these were all updated on the Kindle and Kobo bookstores as of 1/1/2016. Is there any difference in the e-book versions? I bought IT in July and Tommyknockers in November. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something here with the new e-books.

    Joe Hill

    Ahh, wasn't even thinking. I saw it at B&N. It's definitely bigger than the mass market sized ones.
