The Stephen King Reading List

A Checklist of 158 Books

As a kid, I longed to dive into books. I would pick up anything. Any book that looked half interesting, I'd pick up to live inside for its length. The most amazing of those, was "The Shinning" by Stephen King.

I first read this book in 8th grade, amazed that something so dark, and sometimes scary, could be so amazing. I then set out to do the impossible. I tried to read everything Stephen King had ever written. Little did I know, that some of his books are the length of Webster's dictionary. But still, I press on.

I've accomplished an amazing feat today.

After watching "Gilmore Girls," I sought out a reading list with all of the books listed in the show. The checklist compiled everything I needed in a cute, yet functional booklet. So, when I found the "recommended reading list" given by Stephen King, I jumped at the idea.


It took me quite a bit of time to format, but I think I've managed to get the project to work out for the best.

I'm no graphic designer or expert in layout, but I've managed to design a logo for my "business" instagram, CoopReadsBooks, design the layout of the reading list, and successfully print out a copy of the list, as well as make it available to download in PDF form.

It's a compilation of a list of 102 books that Stephen King recommends to readers and future writers, as well as the books he has written. It involves every genre of book, from Peter Straub to his wife, Tabitha King. And a list like this can only be given out once, by a man who has written over 50 books in his career.

If anyone would like a copy of the reading list, please let me know. I'm very excited to share it with everyone. Also, be sure to share it and tag my instagram, as well as anyone who may also want a copy.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
