- What better way to kick off Stephen King month than showing my collection! So, so highly requested! I wanted to wait until I had them all before doing this video (there was editing, so much editing).

You shouldn't have to apologize for buying the cheaper or second hand books. Thats just ridiculous. I am so glad to meet another King fan. Your amazing!
Thanks! I adore my collection :)
Alexandra Bree true
Alexandra Bree I agree
Stephen King has said that the biggest compliment he can get is when he sees one of his books with dog ears and worn. It shows that the book was read more than once. And what more could any writer ask for than to be read over and over again?
My most worn-out book is an SK book. Okay, it's partly really worn because the family dog got hold of it while she was a pup, but still xD
The people who say that your editions are ugly probably spend more time looking at the cover than actually reading the book.
Exactly what I though!
Dallas Lavis I actually really love her edition of Misery
Dallas Lavis yea I know
Becky M I love ❤️ your videos
Dallas Lavis yea
You're hardcover of IT looks amazing. I've never seen that particular cover before. I'm surprised you liked Duma Key but disliked Bag Of Bones. For me they have such a similar feel and mood. Nice collection!
Last Saturday I picked up 35 original Stephen King hardcover books for free. I have been staring at them for the past few days .. wondering if I'm dreaming lol
Oh, that sounds wonderful!
Dougs World wow, how'd you that?
How did you get free?
You have a nice SK book collection,i have an old beat up copy of the shining and absolutely love it.Its the words inside that really matter.
Thanks!
Agreed
I love the hodder editions with the white covers and brightly coloured spines but also older looking editions are so appealing to me for some reason! Great collection
It was great seeing someone else's collection! Fabulous 😊👍
I have also enjoyed watching other people's Stephen King collection videos!
Don't listen to mouthy people about your books...your collection is AWESOME! I grew up watching King based movies, so now I'm reading the book's in the order I saw the movies in the 80's! Started with Salem's Lot..next is The Shining, Christine, Silver Bullet(Cycle of the Werewolf) and Pet Cemetery for starters. ;)
I actually love the covers on your books. They’re unique. And lovely
Thank you! This is perfect for my mission to read King in a more organized manner. Your collection is awesome -- I love that it's a real reader's collection. Really appreciate your sharing it with us. Lovely!
Thanks! I've actually had a lot of fun building this collection and I'm still hunting for editions I don't have. I'm not going to pass up a 1st ed hardback just because I have the paperback :)
Lovely collection! I'm also a King fan so I LOVE watching other people's collection and listening to their opinion on his different books. I still need to read the last 6 books in The Dark Tower series though *hides*
Thanks! I loved The Dark Tower series, you need to read more of it!!!
Will do ASAP!
Reaf em
Had a heck of a Stephen King phase in high school, I'd become a fan of his works and then I spent a semester as a volunteer in the school library, which meant lots of time to read, so I got to plow through a lot of his stories.
You have an impressive collection, and I loved listening to you talk about them! :D
I adore my collection, I'm glad you liked the video!
I have those, plus more and don't have End of Watch yet. I loved... The Misery cover, it was awesome. :D I gave my daughter my duplicate paperbacks just recently. And she's supposed to be gathering the other books of mine that she has... :D I am missing a few. One or two were loaned to friends and I didn't get back--I stopped loaning them out. There are a lot of the short story collections that I don't have, but eventually I'll get them. I LOVE Stephen King. :D
End of Watch was well worth it! I definitely recommend it.
Nice video, I'm quite jealous of some your US editions! Surprised to hear that you enjoyed The Dead Zone more than you were expecting to as it's always been classed as one of his best bodies of work.
You have to read Insomnia, one of King's most original works... beautiful and electrifying book.
His most original book is by far under the dome
his most original book is by far: IT
I am obsessed with your collection Becky :) One Day I will own and read all of his work The Dark Half was amazing.... Geralds Game was terrifyingly amazing too :)
I just finished The Dark Half. Liked it but didn't love it. On the other hand, I finished Salem's Lot about 20 minutes ago and thought it was awesome!
Love this! Got into Stephen King not long ago, I've been picking up his books at my local op shop whenever I see one I don't have. Really been enjoying them so far! From a Buick 8 was one of my favourites so far :p
Yay! Glad you are enjoying Stephen King's work :)
Great collection!
Great collection! I have and am avoiding Cujo too. I just got rid of my duplicates, but got rid of as many hardbacks as possible, love the old SK paperbacks. I'm almost at a complete collection, takes a lot of searching sometimes though. The eyes of the dragon is incredible!
I'm looking forward to Eye of the Dragon!
Oh my, that paperback edition of insomnia was so gorgeous! I would love to have a copy like that but I live in Sweden and I can't find that edition anywhere. Great video and really intresting!
Thanks!
Nice trip down memory lane of all those great moments i spend reading King's work 15- 20 years ago.I wish i could read something now for the first time with the same amazment i had back when i was young,but that's the price of growing up,i guess.Anyway, the video was a cool reminder.Also,i had a good laugh reading the comment about"The girl who loved Tom Gordon",and how the baseball references went over your head.That was my reaction exactly when i read it myself,and to this day that is the only King's book which i sold to the second hand store.Not a baseball fan at all,lol.Greetings from Croatia.
Hey Becky, hi from America, Philly specifically. I’m a lifelong SK fan. Been reading his stuff since high school. I’m 52 now to date myself lol! Anyway, it’s fascinating to me to hear a review from a person from the UK for some reason. I guess I always wonder what non Americans thought of SK or their take on the stories . Up until I read the Dark Tower series, my favorite was the Stand. After reading the gunslinger, I became a dedicated DK junkie! What amuses me is the that the newer fans didn’t have to wait for the books in real time like us older fans did lol! Your so spoiled now!
You basically have almost all his books. I'm working on re-building my King collection, 25 so far, also i want to re-read the books i've read 20 yrs ago and to read the ones i never did.
I'm also a crazy collector of different editions i just love your pet sematary and it editions. Never saw them before. Mass market paperbacks are really useful to take them outdoors.
Christine and Cujo are amazing, underrated even by King fans.
Give them a try.
Salute you, from New York.
Holy smokes! Does this guy write or what? I knew he had a lot but I was surprised at how many there actually are. I'm also constantly surprised at what I knew existed but didn't know was a Stephen King creation (like Green Mile). You've put quite a dent in his work. Good luck this month!
~Meredith
When I finally sat down to work out what I needed to complete the collection, I had over 30 books to get! A lot of people don't realise The Shawshank Redemption is one of his. And it's one I still need to read.
I hope you’ve been able to read Salem, Cujo, Christine, Needful and Pet Semetary. Fantastic books. No real animal issues in Pet Semetary, it’s more about the family. I was the most pleasantly surprised by Desperation, Needful Things and Christine, but Salem’s Lot and Pet Semetary are close to It in brilliance
Yes! I'm all up to date now (and awaiting Holly next week!). Pet Semetary is one of his more moving (but still disturbing) books I found.
Love your collection! The inside is what count's.. same goes for books ;)
100% agreed
Interesting editions. I like them. My editions were purchased in Canada and most have very different covers.
Awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!keep up the celeition going
I love your book editions they look very nice where did u get them from
Your hardback edition of IT is the UK first edition 🙌🏻
I bought the same one for about £2 and I saw someone on booktube go crazy over the same edition, spent quite a bit of money on it too 👀
It's actually one of the book club editions, so unfortunately not that valuable.
love ur additions than most of my American originals. eyes of the dragon has Randall flag in a big way. insomnia has the crimson King in it. he is also he who walks behind the rows. and I love ur accent.
I have read both of those since I put this video up and I really enjoyed them :)
HI Becky. Just discovered your video series. Love it. I just wished to tell you that "Pet Cemetery" is SK at his best. SO creepy and wonderful. Enjoy it!
I'm looking forward to getting to that one!
It is very similar in tone and feel to "Thinner." It is feels like an old 1950s EC comic. Also, you should know that the book is rooted in SK's early-parenting fear of child death. Much as "Cujo" is.
I enjoyed seeing your lovely Stephen King collection. And, as for the people who criticized your books (editions, etc.), ignore them. What IS important about YOUR collection is that YOU love it. The only person you have to please with your hobby is YOU. And, as I said...I loved your collection. I thought you had a lot of really nice books. :-)
Amazing books! 🤩📖♥️
I started reading Different Seasons yesterday and I absolutely love Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. No only is it a great story, but it's also narrated live in my head by Morgan Freeman.
Also, I got it second hand and it's pristine. It even smells new!
Wonderful! I couldn't help but picture Morgan Freeman as well.
I love the tag line on The Shining cover “Never *overlook* the past”
Amazing who ever came up with that is a genius
Lovely collection Becky, I’m in love with yours and hope to expand mine soon, Carrie is coming on Friday and I’m so excited!
And don’t worry I own The Shining and The Gunslinger of course! 😂
Stay safe! ❤️
Edit: I bet your looking forward to *If It Bleeds* tomorrow! Can’t wait to hear your take on it!
Thanks! Hope you enjoy your exploration! I haven't had any luck with getting a physical copy (it came out last week here) so I'm going to be reading it on my kindle.
Sometimes the short stories/novella's differ slightly from the version in the collections, but not enough to make you rush out and buy it, unless you already own it lol
Pet Sematary is so good! You should definitely read it. It's more about loss and dealing with death than about animals, really lol
Agreed!
Only book that truly scared me
Cujo is awesome and your paperback is nice cover
I just went to an op shop today and picked up some really cool editions of Dolores Claiborne and The Dark Half
LOVE THIS VIDEO
Very good collection
Thank tou for brief introduction! I am planning to collect dark tower series. Should I read the wind through the kye hole after 4th one?
I think it can wait until the end of the series. It's a strange change in pacing if you read it after the 4th.
Becky M Thank you for the answer :)
you come to Seattle often ? love your collection
I have been once. And I'm glad you enjoyed this collection :)
I love those Hodder UK edition paperbacks. They are awesome. Wish I could get those here in the US.
If you ever want to sell or trade them just let me know :-)
Maybe you could have luck on ebay? I managed to get a US 1st edition recently.
The Shining is my favorite too. I also like Doctor Sleep
Great collection
Thanks!
Needful Things is great! I highly recommend it. Gerald's Game is also very good. Wasn't a big fan of insomnia.
Duma Key & Doctor Sleep are next on my list
Michael Cooke read the shining before doctor sleep
Beautiful books, I've read 21 books by King so far, and he is my favorite author, but I read the first book in the Dark Tower series and didn't enjoy at all, it was all so confusing, should I read the other ones?
Yes they are much better
Have you or do plan to review any of the dark tower books? I am currently reading book 1.
Not yet. I want to do a pretty in depth discussion about them but I really have to reread them first.
I'm curious. Are your paperbacks trade paperbacks or mass marketed? I can't tell from the video. Thanks!
They're a mix 😊
I haven't watched you whole video yet. my question is...Do you have The Stand in the Coffin Box edition?
Nice collection enjoy😊
Thank you 😊
Hello! I've just bought Christine. Was it worth it?
I’m glad i found another book collector who buys from second hand stores! I always see booktubers buying brand new books and i don’t understand how they can do it lmao literally 97% of my books are secondhand haha
I hope you read Pet Sematary. My favorite so far!! And have you read the Tommyknockers yet? I just finished it today and I'd love to see a good King book reviewer like yourself do it, most people just do a summary and nothing else.
And, for some reason, Dolores Claibourne was an easy book to read, but the book and the movie, I didn't like at all.
I have read Pet Sematary and have uploaded a review of it. Not got round to the Tommyknockers yet though.
Okay awesome. I will check out the review. Tommyknockers was good, very detailed so it's a slow one, you know how he is though! Makes you really understand the circumstances and people's behavioral change. Took me a while to get into it, but it was juicy!
it took me forever to get Cycle Of The Werewolf, Rage, The Colorado Kid, and the unrevised Gunslinger I have all of his books except for Just After Sunset and On Writing, thanks for telling me it was a great collection. I have ordered both though. I also love the covers of every single book you have honestly they are beautiful and I live in the U.S. I have some of these editions and I love your video. I also have the original hardback at IT and found it for 13 dollars. Thank your for this. Also I thought 11/22/63 was oddly very beautiful and would like to hear your thoughts on it if you have read it as of now. Thank you, hope you have great days!!
Thanks! Cycle Of The Werewolf was one of my best finds!
Becky M
mine too because it took forever to find and is very beautiful. Rage has been a very good find because it is out of print and I found it for $1 dollar.
In my country we have only 2-3 version of every book and they all have different cover pictures but same design. I find these American/English versions/designs so aesthetic and hope to buy it, but it’s too expensive in my country
I have just started reading Stephen king books my days of buying books though are in the past i have moved on to the kindle in the past i had only ever read people's autobiography's the only fiction books i ever read was the first 3 Harry potter books i never read the 4th because of the size of it but now that i'm a lot older and i recently finished reading Arnold Schwarzenegger autobiography on the kindle which is 658 pages i thought i'm ready to tackle a Stephen king book as i was always interested in reading them so far i have read Carrie and im nearly finished Salem's lot hopefully have it done by tomorrow night maybe Tuesday latest!
I have been reading on my kindle recently as my books were boxed up. Hope you enjoy the rest of the Harry Potter series, I wish I could read them for the first time again :)
Nah think my days of reading harry potter are over since my last post i have read salems lot i am now 30 percent through dead zone
Nice collection , like you im trying collect all his books , only im trying to get all hardbacks.
Christian Tönnies tats going to cost you a fortune, but good luck nonetheless!
@@repulore13 Yes it did LOL , ive got them all now other than some of the The Dark Tower ones which only came out as hardback in the US . If you go on the Facebook group : Stephen King Book Club ( its a closed group ) you will see some of the photos i put on there also you will find SK fans like us who love to show their book cases . Have a look when you get a chance
Christian Tönnies thanks I’ll try to check it out soon!
Nice channel I have subbed I purchased a 3pack of Stephen King books today I got in it thinner full dark no stars and from a Buick 8 are these good ones? You really seem to know your stuff I got the pack brand new for £5 from the works good shop for good priced books
I saw those packs! Those are good choices :)
I'm reading The Dark Half right now. What were your thoughts on it?
Enjoyed it overall, but it wasn't a favourite. I have a review floating around on my channel.
I will look forward to it after I read the book. Don't want to risk spoilers. As of right it probably wouldn't be my favorite either, because I'm not a thriller fan, but the concept is interesting.
all my stephen king's books are digital and I use a kindle device, my favorite is the shining (best book ever)
The Shining is great :)
Hello, i actually got Saloms lot today and also The Green Mile. I never knew Stephan King wrote The green mile till afew weeks ago! Lol 😃 I enjoyed the movie also, ive started reading IT. The book is just sooo huge! Lol Im not a fan of Stephan King per say... but maybe im becomming one! Lol So what book would you recomend first, for a first time stephan king reader... ☺ Plz help! :)
Also i see that all your books are second hand... thats great, but i always like to get my books nice and new! I absolutly LOVE the smell of a new book!! 😃😃
Salem's Lot is actually a good place to start!
Really, i had actually got IT and the book is just huge!! Lol 😁
Its not horror alot of people dont know that king wrote it or shawshank
Your books are not ugly. And you are still a collector.
Stephen King is my favorite author by far. I have a lot of his books myself, not all of them yet though. I really can't believe people have told you that your Stephen King books are ugly and you can't be a true king fan. I myself do not spend full price very often. I think all your books are amazing! My favorite King is IT and Pet Semetary is amazing! Enjoy your collection.
You have a wonderful voice.!
Wow, great collection, i'm envious. Slightly disagreed with you about Dr Sleep - I actually thought it was a pretty good read. I liked Rose Madder as well, which seems to have got mixed reviews. Totally in agreement about the DT series. Where has it been all my life :)
Thanks! I've worked hard on this collection and I'm pretty pleased with it.
Black House was amazing...
second hand books are the best! IMO, a Stephen King book should look all worn out, tattered, and well-loved and well-read.
have you read the bachman books?
Most of them!
I love Stephen King. My favorite book he made was IT.
I don't have all of his books but I think I have a good collection so far. Currently I'm reading Revival and it's good, my favorite book is IT. So amazing and terrifying!
Revival is great :)
Alex Treviño revival is a bit slow. i'm enjoying it but its a bit boring a times. at least he doesn't ramble on about the details like in IT
Did you get Outsider yet? I did.
You should read Pet Sematary cause it is my fave. Thought I wouldn't like it but ended up loving it:) It's not so much about animals as you think and the book is very atmospheric.
I will be getting to it eventually!
Great. Looking forward to your opinion:)
Great collection, and I do like those UK covers. For the record, Dolores Claiborne has nothing to do with the Dark Tower series, in fact it does not even have any supernatural theme, it's strictly a crime story - and an average one at that.
I've read it since I made this video & I was going on reviews I had read. I do believe it has connections to Gerald's Game though.
The only Stephen King book I have read is Joyland, which I enjoyed. I thought it would make a good film.
Joyland is such a good book!!
I don't know why but i watch a lot of peoples Stephen king collections idk gives me inspiration to build my own but rn i currently own 9 of his books
Wonderful! I hope you have a lot of fun building your collection :)
Becky M aww thank u i hope i do stephen king atm is my favourite author
Becky m, I would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Geralds Game and Dolores Clairborne have a crossover point
What was it
cycle of the werewolf was my 1st stephen king read
Cool never read it
Did you have Rose Madder?
Chris the Otaku yea
I think stephen king collections are nicer with random second hand editions, hes been publishing books for over 40 years so it adds to the charm of it imo
hey guys I just finished reading Duma Key today and the ending was kinda sad but I still enjoyed it. (2018-03-11)
Blockade Billy paperback. Amazon used, starting at 0.01p with a £2.80 postage charge. Thought this would interest you...
Oh thanks! Though since it was included in Bazaar of Bad Dreams, I hadn't been looking. May have to treat myself soon :)
Wish theyd make all covers holographcic
Dolores Clairbourne is connected with Gearalds Game
question: can you be a fan if you haven't read at least half of his work??
I think you can be a fan of an author is you've enjoyed one of their books. Plus, half of Stephen King's work is more than some authors ever put out!
true enough, I suppose. I started reading Stephen King in 1992, read all 25 of his books then in 2 years, and have read every release since then. So ... I have every original hardback he put out. I guess I should do a video of my collection, eh? lol
Also, he has inspired me to become a horror novelist in my own right. I published THE RELIGION in 2012--a 600-pager, and now I'm set to release my second novel in a couple of months, BLACK MOUNTAIN.
Hope you add me on FB so we can maybe discuss some upcoming King books you're about to tackle.
I see you have many Arthur C Clarke books including Rama II. I stupidly read Rama II and Rama Revealed in high school in 2002. I still absolutely despise those. I even read a transcript of an interview Clarke gave where he says all text was written by Gentry Lee. Rendezvous With Rama is one of my favorite books but those sequels are bottom of the barrel of literature.
lol dont be sorry about the editions u have most of my collection is beat up and arent mint condition either the point is to READ the book not show it off to other people remember that 😁btw love your accent and u got a good collection
personally, the front covers don't matter because the reading inside the books are the same. in my case, I would only get a hardcover on my most favorite books. 😊
I'm getting the hard covers if I find them cheap and in better condition than the paperback I have.
Omg he wrote so many it's hard which one should I start first? The dark tower the gun slinger I tried to read I find its confusing to understand. So I stopped listening.
Try The Shining or Misery!
Delores Claiborne and Gerald's Game are connected, you will see when you read them.
Yes, I had heard that! And seen the cross over bits when I read Delores Claiborne. I recorded this a bit ago so I've read a couple of these since!
Very nice collection ! Desperation, The Talisman and The Long Walk are my favorites
Thanks! The Long Walk is amazing!
Better talk about plot of books than how much it costs
You may think Pet Semetary is about animals .......but it's not at all. Definitely a must read if you enjoy the horror side of his writing. "The Body" which was made into the film "Stand by me" is probably his best novella. 11/22/63 is his best book and probably going to be a staple in american literature in my opinion.
I have red Pet Semetary since this video and really enjoyed it :)
Read needful things, its a great read!
I have done since I recorded this and I loved it!
I have never read a Stephen king book before so if you have any tips on reading it just comment below. these are the books I want to read :
it
the shining
Carrie
end of watch
the dead zone
misery
possessed by horror Be patient since some of his books have lull periods but the books also pick up on speed about 1/3 of the way through
possessed by horror to read end of watch you have to read mr Mercedes and finders keepers because it is a trilogy and you have to read them first
TheMasked Reviewer I know
possessed by horror misery the book isnt that big and it is truly sick
possessed by horror end of watch is part of a series 1st Mr Mercedes 2nd finders keepers and 3rd is end of watch
