Stephen King Update & Week 17

I have once again cleaned and rearranged my Stephen King bookshelf. I traded in a few of my books that were duplicates to make room for 2 patiently awaited new releases.

October 28 brings the hardback release of Riding The Bullet. This story was originally published as a free online download in 2000 - which I am proud to say I still have the printed out copy. It was then published in 2002 as part of the collection Everythings Eventual. In 2004 the movie adaptation was released starring Jonathon Jackson and David Arquette.

Kings newest book Under The Dome is set to be released November 10 and I have already pre-ordered.

Although I have almost every Stephen King book in (with the exception of one), I am always on the lookout for Gift Editions of certain books and other cool stuff. All of my books are hardbacks and are First Editions, First Printings. None of my books are Book Club Editions or Ex-Library copies.

Among my possessions are books, a Pop-up book, Audiobooks on CD, DVD's, Movie Paraphanelia, Movie Posters, Desk Calendars, Buttons, and a Bobblehead. I have yet to collect a book signed by King himself. Someday...hopefully.

I am always on the lookout for certain books so if you have these and are willing to get them off your hands, give me a shout. I am looking for Night Shift in hardback and Rage in paperback. These books are still out there, its just a matter of finding them in good condition.

Oh and its Week 17:

Flu Shot

With a little pressure from Andy and from my OBGYN, I felt obligated to get a flu shot this year. I cannot remember the last time I ever got a flu shot - prolly when I was a young child. And it didn't hurt as bad as I thought it would.

Have you gotten YOUR flu shot?

Stephen King & Ridley Pearson

Today is the first day I have been to a thrift store in a month and a half! I am still sick and queasy, but I really needed to get outta the house today. Luckily for me, I happened upon this book titled "Peter And The Starcatchers" by Ridley Pearson. Its a treasure island/pirate story aimed for young readers ages 10 and up. I haven't read it yet, but plan to start this weekend.

Ok, so now you're asking who is Ridley Pearson. Well he is a crime novelist, but more importantly, he is linked to Stephen King (my ultimate favorite writer). Not only did they co-write the book "The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer - My Life At Rose Red", they are also band mates in "The Rockbottom Remainers." Just a little bit of trivia.

Today is the start of Week 14:
