    Christmas Fright was really good. And I loved the idea of being stuck in Dalby's and be visited by the ghosts. Still haven't read Dr. Sleep but I am about to enter a King phase. Got a bunch of books coming. Stay cool, Zach!!!! Another kick azz video.

    Awesome List! Doctor Sleep is so underrated and so good, the True Knot are terrifying villains. I love Fairy Tale but there were parts in the middle that dragged for me and prevented me giving it 5 stars. Hope you have a wonderful 2025! 📚

    Oh wow, I will have to try several of these. I’m not in a Colleen Hoover mode right now, but I may have to give that one.
    But fairytale….. wow I think it is probably now my all-time favorite Stephen King. I could not believe how he makes a contemporary story in to a fantasy story. I loved it so much. I’ve given it to three people as gifts.
    This was so fun to watch. Thanks for putting it together. 😉

    Well, you can check the box - you have completed the obligatory Top 10 books of the year. Yahoo. Hey Zach, this Larry again. You gave me some tips on looking for reduced price books on Kindle. But guess what, I failed. Although, maybe I have an excuse because I turn 75 next month. I'm not kidding. On another note I was really happy to see that Max Lucado was one of your top 10. Keep up the good work.

    I loved Fairy Tale. Read it in 2023. However I don't think I could ever read it again because in 2024 my German Shepherd crossed the rainbow bridge. I would still recommend it though. I really enjoy King's fantasy and thriller books. I read 11/22/63 this year and it was SO good
    The top two books I read this year are Hollow Kingdom by Kiera Jane Buxton and Boys in the Valley by Phillip Fracassi.
