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.
@@Sunnyvalereject24 Thanks mate!! Love me some King!! I have a few duplicates if you’re interested! Shoot me a message and I can show you what I’ve got
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. 😉
@@christirandazzo3769 Of course! Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m so happy to hear others saying good things about Fairy Tale! It truly is a beautiful story!
I love your number one pick! I think it's so awesome when books inspire people to write their own stories. Can't wait to see your name on a book cover someday!!! 🥳
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.

@@Monsterblood Dang that’s a lot of Harry Potter! Half Blood Prince is definitely a good one. Surprisingly, I’ve actually read a lot of those books on your list! I feel the same way about most of them!
Great video Zach! I read Fairy Tale in 2024 too and I really enjoyed it. It was my second time reading Stephen King so I’m definitely gonna try to read some more of his work soon.
@@MSMDragon I’m so glad you also enjoyed it! It’s nice hearing other people say good things about it! Very underrated! Wow you have so many options when it comes to Stephen king! I personally enjoy his new and old work but it depends on what I’m in the mood for
@ The only other King book I currently own is Thinner, so I’ll be reading that one next. I found it on sale and remembered you mentioning it. So after that I’ll have to watch some more of your videos for recommendations.
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.
@@NoJacki_OnlyZuul I totally understand that. I’d be the same way if my dog passed. I heard 11/22/63 is incredible! It’s just so dang long! One day I’ll set aside the time to read it. Thanks for the recommendations! 🙌🏼
@ShadysideLibrary I have a 30-40 minute commute to work so I listed to the audiobook to and from work (at 1.5x speed) so that helped make it feel like less of a doorstopper when I picked up my physical copy on the weekends 🤣

Phone calls sounds like something I would have loved when I was younger. Look at you with an audiobook on your top list!
@@Kritz_Reads haha yep, I would have NEVER guessed I’d be even listening to an audiobook at the beginning of the year! I’ve come a long way!

@@ShaunStevensonBooks You and me both!! It would be a dream come true 🙌🏼
Great list you have a nice mix of different genres. I love Fairy Tale, still need to read Phone Calls sounds like such a fun read.
@@glendyc22 Thank you! Yes, my list is indeed quite diverse. You’re going to love phone calls!

I liked hearing what inspired you to write.

@ oh I see, that’s reasonable!
I think an argument could be made that the villain in The Shining is addiction. Hmmmmmmm.
@@troytradup fair argument. Still not my ideal villain to read about though…
