There is something so special and warm, and even cozy, when it comes to simple beginnings.

This is one of the most beautifully written books I've ever read. And it's one of my favorite author's favorite books.

Since reading Misery, I've read a handful of Stephen King's other works. Pet Sematary, Salem's Lot, Carrie, The Shining. None of those stand out like Misery.

It's an incredibly rich book. And one of the greatest books ever written, in my opinion.

This is one of the greatest endings I've ever read in a series. Brandon Sanderson took Robert Jordan's torch and carried it high on that hill.

This is one of the only books by Stephen King that has actually made me uncomfortable. That actually feels scary.

What sticks with me is the tone of this book. That sinking lonely feeling.

This was the book that truly started my reading journey. I was gifted this book 4 or 5 years ago for my birthday. It really changed how I looked at books.

This is the definition of fantasy. And in my opinion, it's the definition of adventure.

This book is perfect. In less than 100 pages tells a grounded origin story of Batman.

I have about 120 pages left. I could already tell this book is going to be an all-timer for me.

I loved it. I loved every bit of it. This was great.

I thought Black Tongue Thief was a fun, good read. It took a lot of familiar fantasy tropes and aspects and tweaked it a little bit, gave it a little twist, and I thought Christopher Bulman created something fresh and original with Black Tongue Thief.

No, it was very human. friends traveling together on a hot summer day. It was the perfect precursor to Boy's Life by Robert McCammon.

Without going into great detail about these books and what's in them, these two were great and I will hold them in my heart forever.

I eventually bought in and I fell in love with the concept of the book and of the series, but I didn't like how it was executed. when I finished Empire of Silence, I felt lukewarm.

I could have read a thousandpage version of that book. I wish it was longer. True Grit, the book, was way better than the Cohen Brothers version of the movie.

This book was truly great. This stood out above everything else I read the entire year.

I really thought I was getting a spooky scary story. But what I got was a much more mature human story.

I think I just didn't get it. The humor, the style, I don't think at that time it wasn't my cup of tea.

I liked it. It was good. In the moment of reading it, it was great because it was exciting and fresh and it just kind of cleansed the palette.
