@read.fast.die.hard85 tagged me to share my least favorite King book, or #forgettableking
•
As much as I love King, nobody is perfect and he has a few duds here and there. Sleeping Beauties and Cell are a couple.
•
I think I dislike Sleeping Beauties so much because I was so disappointed. I was expecting so much more and I just didn’t get it.
•
Cell started out pretty awesome and then died and it died fast. Those first 100 pages, maybe less, were intense and so wild, but then... well let’s just say it should have ended there
•
I’ll tag a few of you to share your #forgettableking books , sorry if you’ve been tagged

I was tagged by @read.fast.die.hard85 for my #rereadstack and SHOCKER, it’s all King
•
I’m part way through The Stand and Wizard & Glass, so I definitely want to finish those up. It’s super annoying to be partway through stuff, but I’m ready and I can’t wait to finish my second journey to The Dark Tower immediately after.
•
I desperately want to reread The Shining and Doctor Sleep before @flanaganfilm’s movie comes out in November
•
I will be rereading Duma Key with the #krew in August as well as IT with @delaneyreads... you still up for it
•
The #Krew will be reading Night Shift in September and I’m so stoked to revisit King’s best short story collection.
•
I also, for personal reasons, want to reread The Tommyknockers, Insomnia, and Revival.
•
I’ll tag some of you to play along lol sorry if you’ve been tagged!

All I ever need as far as accessories goes is a bag big enough for the book I'm currently reading. | Up and at it by 5:30 this morning. I am out of book photos but - never fear, I have something usable.

Book Club Editions (BCE) versus First Editions. I’ve received a few messages over the past few months asking if a certain book is a first edition or not, so I figured I would take a few posts to talk about the differences between the two.
.
.
This whole post was started last week after talking with @horrible_henry about the differences in sizes between BCE and first editions, so that’s where I’ll start. This is probably the most confusing part about telling the difference between the two. For the most part there are basically two different sizes to King books: the large 9.5” tall and the small 8.5” tall. First editions published by Doubleday (except for Pet Sematary) are the small size, while the large size is always BCE. (See Salem’s Lot in photo: left is 1st, right is BCE) But there are also small size BCE, so be careful! As for Doubleday’s Pet Sematary, it’s backwards...first editions are the large size, while the small is BCE, but there are large BCE too! Still with me? For King’s 1980s work published by Viking, first editions are the large size, while all small sizes are BCE (see Firestarter in photo: left is BCE, right is 1st), but yes, you guessed it, there are large size BCE. In fact, the only small size BCE Viking books I’ve ever known of are from the early 80s. There are no small BCE of IT and forward, to my knowledge.
.
.
Because of the mixture in heights and editions, size can never be used solely to declare a book to be a first edition, rather it can only be used solely to determine if a book *isn’t* a first edition.
.
.
Are you more confused now than before you read my post? Good. My work here is done. Next post I’ll talk about other variations between first editions and BCE, and how to tell if maybe you’re sitting on a King fortune! *spoiler: you’re not*

Today #ampersandjuly19 asks fiction vs non-fiction. So here’s a red and black stack that pretty much represents the ratio between the two for me. Mostly fiction, but I can always be tempted with a great non-fiction read. ON WRITING is the only one here that I’ve read and even if King isn’t your thing or if you’re not a writer, I highly recommend it. It’s fabulous. .
.
All of the others are on my IMMEDIATE TBR - I’ll be reading most of them this month. See any favorites? And yes, my friends, that gorgeous copy of VIOLET is @scottthomascaresaboutyou newest and I. Cannot. Wait. .
