I haven’t read any “new to me” books lately. I’ve still been plowing through many of my old favorites because that’s apparently what my brain wants to consume right now. I’m not fighting it, I’m actually enjoying them. You can see that list here.

But I didn’t want to leave you empty handed in case you need a new to you book to read, so I’ve decided that I’m going to tell you about books that I have read before and loved. I can’t re-read every single book I’ve ever read (oh how I wish I had that many hours in my day!), so it’s unlikely that I will get to tell you about all of them unless I just tell you about them. Did any of that make sense? When I haven’t read a new book, I’ll just tell you about a book that I’ve read in the past that I think you might want to read too. Okay? Okay.

Firestarter Mass Market Paperback – May 3, 2016 by Stephen King (Author)

This week I wanted to tell you about a book that I have actually read over and over. It’s my all time favorite book from Stephen King – because it’s not really scary. I’m actually not the biggest fan of anything horror, because you know, I have an excellent and very overactive imagination which causes me problems in my day to day life. When I read The Shining (which is EXCELLENT by the way) I only read it in the daylight hours, with my back to a wall and all of the lights on. I still jumped out of my skin anytime someone in my family walked into the room. I am not good with being scared out of my mind. Ahem.

So if you’ve never read a Stephen King book because you don’t want visions of Pennywise dancing in your head for the rest of your natural life, Firestarter is the book for you. I love it, hence the reason I’ve read it over and over through the years. And don’t get me wrong, it is what I consider a thriller, but it doesn’t have jump scares in it. Also, if you believe that you can’t have jump scares while you are reading a book….I just don’t know if we can be friends anymore.

P.S. I have read It. I read it when I was a teenager and didn’t know any better. Now I live with the consequences…..
