this is to track my initially unintentional but now apparent goal to read as much stephen king as possible lol. i've crossed out all the books i've read. if you particularly love/recommend any of the ones I haven't read please let me know!! i'm struggling too pick next books to read as the list grows shorter.
LAST UPDATE: 6/16/25 LAST READ: Hearts in Atlantis
