Reading King Challenge!

Stephen King is one of my all-time favorite authors. I know I'm not alone in saying that. I'm also not alone in starting a challenge like this. I'm going to read all of his work in chronological order. I haven't read all of his work. I haven't even attempted to crack open The Stand or the Dark Tower series (big books intimidate me) and a few others.

And I've tried a challenge like this before....guess where I left off...The Stand.

My hope is to start and blog along the way and to have you join me! Revisit old favorites, pick up new favorites, and have fun celebrating the genius of King's storytelling. If you're with me, leave a comment!
