Stephen King 2025 read-along discussion

Hiya everyone. I'm a little late creating this new topic. I apologize. Have you all started this month's read yet? I haven't finished Blaze, I am not liking it at all. Hoping it will get better soon, I'm having a hard time staying interested.

Dolores Claiborne is the shortest book for this year and with a nice long month it should be an easy read. Let me know how you are liking it so far.

I've finished this book and I really enjoyed it. Not one of my favorites of Kings. But it still kept me interested and it was pretty short.

Hey, I just joined ur club and I love horror books but I have trouble knowing what books u guys are currently reading so please help me with the monthly reads THANK U! 😄

I have read about 46 pages. I am currently taking a break due to #ayearathon but will get back into asap since i have the movie on it's way from netflix and want to finish the book first :) so hopefully this weekend i'll finish it. i'm enjoying it so far.

Hi Jeanette, Each month I post the book in a new discussion folder. This month is Dolores Claiborn. This is only for Stephen King books and the entire year of books is posted right underneath the title of the group :D Welcome!

THANK U! 😁

I started reading the physical book first but I've been alternating between that and the audiobook, and I've gotta say the narrator for the audiobook is amazing! She brings you into the story so much more! Also I watched the movie with my mom growing up, so I can't help but to picture Kathy Bates narrating even though I know it's not actually her, lol.

I just finished this today... LOVED it. It is my favorite Stephan King so far. I also have the movie from netflix and will be watching that tonight now that i've finished book.

I liked it but I didn't love it. I loved Dolores as a character, the story was interesting until the end. I was waiting for something super dramatic that never came.

I haven’t even started this one yet 😩

Not my favorite SK but the story did keep me engaged throughout the book. However it felt like one long ass tangent the way the formatting was done. (if I make any sense-lol)

I like Dolores Claiborne just finished it last night but it's not my favorite I hated john and I like Vera most of the time and the ending was ok I feel like their could have been more to the ending but otherwise I still liked it

Me neither. I just didn't like Blaze and that messed me up for March. I'm going to put Blaze on hold so I can catch up. That one put me in a reading slump.

Hey everyone! Thank you all for sticking with the books. I did not pick up Dolores Claiborne yet....I'm awful. I opened it and saw there weren't any chapters which kind of freaked me out. Lots of people have said I need to listen to it on audio and so I'm going to put The Dark Tower on hold to listen to this one on audio.

Yeah I understand bingereader blaze was really sad to finish once I finished it I cried lol so I can see how it put you in a reading slump

I'm going to pick up Blaze later on in the year and finish it on audio. I just couldn't get into it.

Doloris Clairborne was just okay for me compared to SK's other books that I have read.

It definitely was slow burning and also we know everything up front. We are just finding out the why. Those kinds of stories can seem like they take a long time. I know for the two cops in the story...they were probably thinking "hurry up lady and get to the point" LOL
