My favorite series of all time:) I’m on book 3 … I’ve been reading 1 a month so I can have time for other books.. happy almost fall :)
Mod
I remember when I first read them I was totally sucked in … and I understand it more now.. thanks for the info about the other stories. I didn’t know about them
Melissa when should I read the .05 & 4.5?
Mod
I would read 0.5 after Wolves of the Calla only because you hear about the town the sisters live in that short story
As for 4.5 I haven't read it yet, but King says you can read it right after Wizard and Glass. 4.5 is an actual novel. Its like 300+ pages.
Ok thank u.. I’m not sure if I have that one but I’ll check and if not I will buy:)
I read the first 2 in the series then decided to do an extended read. I read Salems Lot , The Stand, and cure on Eyes of the Dragon. The I’m doing the 3rd book in DT serie
Hi James.. how far into the DT series are you?
Hi Chelle! I read the first 2 dark tower books, then Salem’s Lot, The Stand, and eyes of the dragon. Planned on starting Talisman tomorrow then jumping back into the series with Wasteland. Doing an “Extended read” recommended by some.
Yes James I’ve heard of reading in that order .. I haven’t tried it yet but maybe I’ll add it to the new year things to do :)
It's is September and we are doing the Dark Tower series AGAIN! If you guys were not apart of the Stephen King read-a-long last year, then this is your time to start or continue Stephen King's magnum opus. The Dark Tower series is made up of seven books. There is also a novella and another book which is mentioned below. We are still following Lala's Buzzwordathon and for this month the theme is Light/Dark which fits this book series title. The book cover I have chosen for this month is one of the graphic novel editions. I am currently reading the graphic novels.
For those of you who don't know anything about the Dark Tower series here is the list of books in order.
1. The Gunslinger (it's starts off in the middle of a story. Don't get discouraged that it doesn't make any sense. It's almost like a prologue).
2. Drawing of the Three (my favorite)
3. The Waste Lands (my second favorite)
4. Wizard and Glass
5. Wolves of the Calla
6. Song of Susannah
7. The Dark Tower
The Little Sister's of Eluria (.05 found in Everything's Eventual)
The Wind Through the Keyhole (4.5 still haven't read this one yet)
Charlie and the Choo Choo by Beryl Evans (aka Stephen King) is a children's book that is mentioned within the epic series and is such a creepy fun read and book to add to your collection.
Last year I told you all to skip the terrible movie that came out starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey. I still stand by that statement.
No tv series at this time is being adapted, which is what we need to tell a proper story.
How has everyone been? How was your summer? I just finished my first week of full time college. Tomorrow starts my second week. I am swamped with school work. I hope you can all forgive me for being late in posting this new month's book. Thank goodness for Ashley who is always on time.
Hope you all have an amazing September.
Happy Reading!!
