Stephen King 2025 read-along discussion

Happy Holidays Constant Readers,

It is December and I can't believe how quickly the time flew by. This month we are following along with Lala's Buzzwordathon and for this month the theme is "holiday 'christmas' specific" Which means that Holly by Stephen King is the perfect book for this theme and for this time of year.

Holly came out last year in 2023. This is a new one for me. I have not read it yet. However, Holly shouldn't be new to us as she has been a character in 3 of King's books so far. You can find Holly Gibney in Mr. Mercedes, Finders Keeper's and The Outsider. In this novel Holly must solve the mysterious disappearences of multiple people in a midwestern town.

I for one am always a sucker for covers with houses on the front and a good mystery thriller.

If you want to see Holly in action there are two adaptations you can watch. Mr. Mercedes was turned into a tv show and can be found on Peacock. You can also watch Holly in action with the miniseries The Outsider on Hulu and Amazon Prime.

Holly the book and character has been said online that it will be adapted, but I havne't found out anything just yet. However, according to Stephen King Holly will make another appearance in 2025. Will it be a sequel or another cameo in a different book?

Can't wait to find out. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving if you live in the US and I hope you all have an amazing Christmas and New Year if you celebrate.

P.S. Ashley and I will still be here in the new year. I'll be getting our new list ready and posting in the new year.

Happy Holidays and as always Happy Reading!
