I've really enjoyed building up my Stephen King collection these past few months. I've spent a lot of time hunting for old editions on eBay and I have quite the set now! Here are five Stephen King books I am hoping to read this year!
Stephen King Books I Want To Read This Year
The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
In a peaceful retirement village, four unlikely friends meet weekly in the Jigsaw Room to discuss unsolved crimes; together they call themselves The Thursday Murder Club. Elizabeth, Joyce, Ibrahim and Ron might be pushing eighty but they still have a few tricks up their sleeves.
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
In the year 2044, reality is an ugly place. The only time teenage Wade Watts really feels alive is when he's jacked into the virtual utopia known as the OASIS. Wade's devoted his life to studying the puzzles hidden within this world's digital confines, puzzles that are based on their creator's obsession with the pop culture of decades past and that promise massive power and fortune to whoever can unlock them.
Home Before Dark by Riley Sager
As Maggie experiences strange occurrences straight out of her father’s book, she starts to believe that what he wrote was more fact than fiction.
The Perfect Father by Charlotte Duckworth | ARC
After a difficult pregnancy, Esther is grateful that her husband Robin offers to put his career on hold so she can return to the job that she loves. But Esther finds leaving her daughter Riley behind more challenging then she'd thought. And soon the new imbalance in her relationship with Robin brings old tensions to the surface.
Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter
Twenty years ago Claire Scott's eldest sister, Julia, went missing. No one knew where she went - no note, no body. It was a mystery that was never solved and it tore her family apart. Now another girl has disappeared, with chilling echoes of the past. And it seems that she might not be the only one.
The Open House by Sam Carrington | ARC
Everyone’s welcome. But not everyone leaves…Nick and Amber Miller are splitting up and selling their Devon family home. When their estate agent suggests an open house event, Amber agrees, even as she worries about their gossiping neighbours attending and snooping around their home. But Amber has more to worry about than nosy neighbours. Because thirteen people enter her house that afternoon, and only twelve leave.
The Baby Group by Caroline Corcoran
Scarlett’s golden life suddenly unravels when someone sends a shocking video of her to everyone she knows. The only people who claim they haven’t seen it are the friends in her new mothers’ group: Cora, Emma and Asha.
Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter
Andrea Oliver's mother, Laura, is the perfect small-town mum. Laura lives a quiet but happy life in sleepy beachside Belle Isle. She's a pillar of the community: a speech therapist, business owner and everybody's friend. And she's never kept a secret from anyone. Or so Andrea thinks.
The Stolen Sisters by Louise Jensen | ARC
Leah’s perfect marriage isn’t what it seems but the biggest lie of all is that she’s learned to live with what happened all those years ago. Marie drinks a bit too much to help her forget. And Carly has never forgiven herself for not keeping them safe.
