Book Trailers - Check Them Out! discussion

Help! I'm in the worst reading slump I've ever been in!

Please recommend me one of the BEST books you've read THIS YEAR. Preferably any Horror or any Fantasy (except Epic Fantasy) something fast paced, written in 3rd person POV, and WELL WRITTEN.

Well Geesh Kat!
I'll have to think on that one :p
XOXO

I am desperate! Haha

For this year I liked

It's horror and it's a trilogy, but they move FAST and none of the three are that long. You could probably read all 3 pretty quickly.

I always recommend Imajica or The Gunslinger

Trigger Warning: Short Fictions and Disturbances

and

The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Best I've read this year.

Definitely been wanting to read those two

A Monster Calls was awesome too.
And The Night Circus--gorgeous.

I loved House Of Leaves *shivers*

(but you have to buy the physical book...not on Kindle...at least not when I read)

Hi, Angela! I can tell you're a Gaiman fan! *high five*

Thanks for the recs, my friends! I'll check them all out...

Already crossed off Mikey's rec, The Gunslinger.

Angela, I've read A Monster Calls. Loved that one too. I've got The Night Circus ages ago but forgot to read it. I'll get to it soon. :)

Keep em coming! Thank youuuu

just a heads up, book 5 is a bit of a slow one, but still worth a read to get to 6 and 7.
and don't forget to read after book 4 (I think? it's an in-between volume, I just forgot which one lol)
Oh it's before Wolves of Calla!

Also I'm having a difficult time with it. There's so many American culture references that I don't understand. It takes me away from the story. :(

ahhh yeah that's Stephen King for you haha ^_^'

:(((((((

it does get a bit better though, the more you enter Mid-world the pop references kinda begin feeling like a sort of imaginary world all together, so it all blends. I gotta ask, have you read Salem's Lot?

Nope. So far I've only read Carrie, The Mist and The Shining.

ahhh okay ^_^ it won't take away from your reading, but they all do share the same universe/multiverse :)

Good to know. I'll add that to my list. :)

yay! you're going to be a busy reader lol

I've always been a busy reader ???

true lol, but these are thick books. King always had such a large story to tell haha

Haha, yeah I know. King did say in the author's note section that this The Dark Tower saga had been brewing for 17 years, was that right?

more or less haha he started the story idea when he was 19 (but never finished it). I forgot when he published the book, but also just finished in 2012? maybe? I can't remember lol

That's good Katrina, lay off the romance novels for a while lol.
