I DO NOT OWN EVERY BOOK. CHANCES ARE I HAVE SINCE BOUGHT IT SINCE THIS VIDEO WENT UP. IF YOU SEE A BOOK HERE I AM MISSING I EITHER DO NOT WANT TO READ IT OR HAVE BOUGHT IT SINCE THEN. STOP LEAVING ME COMMENTS ABOUT IT, CUJO, OR CARRIE. I OWN ALL THREE NOW. THANK YOU.

[@JesReadsBooks]

Also I know that Rage is priceless. Its still a book and I'm gonna continue to treat it just like a normal one

[@TotallyRadFilms]

@@JesReadsBooks It's funny, you mentioned that in the beginning of the video :P People are wieners! Nice collection Jes! I just started reading Mr.Kings work, I just bought Different Seasons and The Shining :D

[@anthonynolastname8517]

Jes Reads Books how much do you want for your copy of Rage

[@vegangurly]

American No Party Loyalists what an annoying question to ask

[@edgarbachman9037]

American No Party Loyalists you know eBay exists, right? Go on there and buy one for like literally a dollar lmao the Bachman Book Edition is extremely cheap

[@musashi-san____1409]

You should put Rage in a protective sleeve. That book is extremely rare, and you will probably never see it being reprinted again.

[@JesReadsBooks]

Musashi-san ____ Haha probably not. It's traveled a lot and seems to be holding up well! It just sits on my shelves now.

[@isakdahl7054]

Musashi-san ____ Wow! I have got a copy of Rage as well (Swedish though, because that’s were I live). It’s pretty old, since it was my fathers before me.

[@nerdycat9617]

I almost sold my book collection to pay the down payment on my current house, and I cried a lot about it. LUCKILY, my husband and I were blessed enough to have family members who lent us the money, so I didn't have to, but I am so sorry that you had to go through that. Books are my most prized possessions

[@maggiedeleon6678]

This just makes me want to read Stephen King all over again, beautiful collection and great video!!!!

[@turtleanton6539]

I hope you started

[@adrianbooklecter7545]

5:22 rage is about 1000 dollars nowdays

[@orewahouston2143]

AdrianBookLecter I read the PDF online

[@YaniqueSGillana]

I agree with you on Duma Key and Bag of Bones! So underrated, and so great.

[@inlinesk8rchick]

Just found your channel and love it! 😍 11/23/63 is so far my favorite Stephen King book but I’ve only read 2-3 of his books so far. I’m planning on collecting and reading all of his books eventually

[@turtleanton6539]

Hope you started

[@DaveShaves44]

even in that condition, that rage book is worth hundreds easy. great collection. i am just now realizing there is a face in the cover of dr sleep, never noticed that before lol

[@Minkinator]

Rage just sold for over 700 on ebay. I own it and payed 300 for mine. Don't ever let anything happen to that book. The value keeps going up.

[@turtleanton6539]

Cool!

[@angelgarlinger6370]

You have one of the best Stephen King collections I’ve ever seen. I love Stephen King as and am so happy I stumbled on this video and I just subscribed

[@dugefreshhh9743]

*just casually pulls out rage (a $1000 book) and sets other books on top of it* Amazing

[@OntarioOutdoors]

Since December of 2017 Ive Read IT, Pet Semetary, Different Seasons and im now a good chuck into the stand. I ve started a collection of my own! Great video! And you have to read pet semetary

[@gabix7488]

20 yrs ago i was 15. That's when i started reading King. But...i was living in Europe, not all of them went to print and they're were all translated. 20 yrs later i decided to rebuild my King collection. My goal is to read everything he wrote. Sounds like a fanboy...eh... I'm also crazy about collecting different editions, hardcovers, paperbacks. No mass market. I just ordered 4 halloween editions from UK. Christine, Shining, Cell and Bag of Bones. I started my collection about 3 weeks ago and i have so far 48 books. Just finished reading Cujo, Needful Things, Shining and i'm almost done with the Stand. You're collection it's amazing, that Viking edition of Needful Thing it's gold. Also, beautiful tattoo. Thanks for taking time to show us your collection.

[@danielkoso2116]

Thank you for actually taking them out and showing us. Not many people do for some reason

[@johnbrick2681]

If you love Stephen King you should read Peter Straub ghost story. Amazing and super creepy book. Talisman and black House were amazing books

[@markrickert6592]

I commented on Peter Straub as well. He's really a favorite of mine, and I told the video blogger that she's gotta read the Talisman. A really fantastic book! Also, if you haven't read Straub's Floating Dragon, you really should. It's amazing!!! Great to see someone out there appreciate Straub!

[@DreamfactoryZero]

Hold onto Rage. It's extremely rare!

[@poundfoolishthemime7561]

I gotta be honest..... I HATED Song of Susannah. I felt like it was just a set up for book 7. There was very little that was actually memorable about the book. Personally my favorite was Wizard and Glass. I felt that it was a fantastic story and amazing characters. I read them one right after another so I can tell why some people hated Wizard and Glass because it didn't advance the story hardly at all. But I loved it

[@turtleanton6539]

Only the King stuff was funny

[@97minitaco]

The Talisman is one of my favorite books. You should give it a read. It gives a really cool perspective of the Dark Tower series.

[@jobelle5470]

Its one of my favs too💚 its and amazing journy

[@turtleanton6539]

Im waiting for my copy

[@helencheckley9260]

My mum loved to read Stephen king books. I do want to read pet cemetery. You have great 📚 books and shelves . X🌹

[@billkeon880]

I love how you are doing the voice-over audio after you shot the video and you say things like “ahh” once you get the book back in place on the shelf. So funny. You must buy It….

[@rocknregalia]

My Anne Rice books are like that for me. I have had them since 8th grade. They have been with me longer than my husband.

[@pearcegreatesteverleftback03]

The Talisman is really good, don’t let your fear of collaborations stop you reading it, You’ve got some Great books btw 😎👍🏻

[@raywhite7179]

I'm new to your channel so I don't know your thoughts of Lisey's Story or how far you got into it, but I didn't like the beginning of Lisey's Story either. I actually stopped reading it and put it aside for YEARS. Several years ago, I sat down and decided to push through it, just to say that I've read it, and once I got past the first 25% or so, I really got into it and it flew by. It's one of my favorites of his now. It's very emotional. There's the supernatural element that comes in 25%+ that's really an effective foil for the RL protagonist in the book. It's not a 700 page book about a woman getting beaten up until she kills him. The hubby had this whole other world that he went to and he knew this guy would chase her so he left her clues on how to deal with the guy. It's her journey through the grief of losing him and getting to know him fully, as well as this supernatural entity/world, and the protagonist. But the beginning sucks.

Desperation is a good book, you need to read that and then Regulators afterwards

[@repulore13]

You can find book 6 and 7 of The Dark Tower series in the Wolves of the Calla style paperback on Book Depository. Stay safe Jes! Love you!❤️

[@bugs1729]

Cell was movie adapted. I remember Alice the most from the book. The movie was so so. It's available to watch on Netflix.

[@MzVee904]

I have that same copy of Cell and it is honestly the book that got me started into my Stephen King reading. Just a warning though.. if you haven't seen the movie yet, it absolutely sucks. Anyway, my all time favorite books my him are The Stand and the Dark Tower series. I'm currently on book 5 "Wolves of the Calla".

[@jessicagentry6379]

Love your collection! Did you know that Stephen King has a new book coming soon. I dont know the name of it though. So excited

[@wynemacantrell145]

~That's one of the presents I got for my 30th birthday this year May 4th Stephen King,Owen King Sleeping Beauties book so very happy and excited about it kept saying thank you so much.~

[@toshomni9478]

Great video. Hope you've gotten around to reading the Talisman. It's a unique collaboration between two of the best horror writers ever and a wonderful experience to read. I don't even know if it qualifies as a horror story though because it's more like a fantastic fairy tale adventure and its worthy sequel Black House is more like a supernatural detective story. Dolores Claiborne is not as creepy as the cover makes it look either though it does deal with some traumatic events.

[@SupeRey49]

You can remove as much of the stickers by hand then use sticky side of tape to remove any leftover sticker. I always do that when I get used books that have them.

[@hispanicbaljeet4076]

Captain Cosmo It does not always work so well. My dark half sticker will rip off part of the spine with it.

[@absolutelypositively]

Thanks! I like how you’re very picky about your shelf and the book art. Don’t disregard Peter Straub. I’m re-reading ‘The Talisman,’ co authored by SK and PS. It’s an amazing story. You’d never know it’s not just Sai King.

[@Rlduncan1]

I’m also a Stephen King lady too, Jes!! I think I’ve got almost the same amount of King books 📚 you do. I’ve been going through a huge reading slump and I’m trying to get out of it. I’ve got tons and tons of books 📚 I can’t wait to read. Thanks so much for your videos. Hopefully I’ll can get back to my reading again. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽📚📚. Robin 🌹

[@pixelatedDream]

I read Desperation when I was 19 and I was absolutely hooked. I read The girl who loved Tom Gordon, Carrie, The Shining, Doctor Sleep and 11/22/63 and I liked them all. Then I read the unedited edition of The Stand and I have felt a lot of hesitation when picking up a Stephen King book ever since. It was so bloated, so hard to get through that It put me in a 2-month reading slump and sadly turned out to be so far my least favorite book of all time. It made me completely forget that I really enjoyed his books and it took me a while before I picked another one up. I own a lot of his books as well. I read IT and enjoyed it. I tried to get through the Dark Tower series and got bored. I guess I have a hit or miss relationship with Stephen King books at this point.

[@turtleanton6539]

I felt the normal version was too long haha!

[@mspoetic888]

I'm reading The Stand in September for the 40th anniversary of its release. Would love to buddy read it. Haven't read The Stand in like a decade. Love your collection!

[@ronniewilliford3449]

I'm glad you loved Duma Key. One of my all time faves. Joyland is my number one.

[@maxarellano5663]

When she said "now I'm done with this 3rd shelf" I was like wow

[@markrickert6592]

I really enjoy your video. I too am a massive King fan. And I gotta say: I really feel like you're missing out until you read the Talisman. (I understand your bias against co-authored books, but Peter Straub is a damn fine author, and in my opinion, he's up there with King and Clive Barker). I read the Talisman when I was maybe twelve or so, and it really moved me away. I cried my eyes out at one point. Maybe it was written for twelve-year-olds. Still, it's a great book, and I'd like to recommend it to you as a favor, since you did me the favor of making this vid. Good look to you!

[@JesReadsBooks]

Thank you! I will definitely check it out.

[@c.hellard9243]

just casually throwing rage aside as if its not worth 500$ :P

[@JesReadsBooks]

Christine Hellard because it's just a book 😂 and setting it aside isnt going to hurt it

[@orewahouston2143]

Jes Nevertheless you’re so defensive..?

[@jonesy4728]

It's very interesting you like a lot of books that aren't liked by the majority of King fans. Great collection though :)

[@Thespian32]

I'm working through Stephen King and just finished The waste lands Dark Tower 3. I enjoyed it but that ending! I want to jump to the next one now.

[@JesReadsBooks]

Oh yeah I see what you mean! I ended up reading it all as one instead of stopping between books because I had to know what happened!

[@9minutes236]

First time watching your videos really hook with your videos 😍😍

[@dooommusic1987]

Ha! Five shear telf! I caught that! Love your collection! Love your tattoos! Love your glasses love you smile! 😵😍

[@HardbackHaven]

I’ve never read a Stephen King book which is ridiculous - he’s my dad’s fav author. I have Bazaar of Bad Dreams. Figured I’d start with his short stories to kind of dip my toes in. I loved scary books growing up so idk why I haven’t read anything by him. I have watched a few of his movies & liked them 😄

[@rocknregalia]

Me either! We can be ridiculous together.

[@actofcruelty1633]

Nice collection, especially those vintage Doubleday editions (I wonder how your collection looks nowadays. ..). btw Peter Straub is an amazing writer. Go check out his work! :-)

[@IrishTechnicalThinker]

No IT? Just finished IT and read it years ago. Read IT again straight because it was so refreshing to caught up in the book. Needful Things was fantastic too! Awesome you have Rage. Very rare. Great video.

[@aneweliseonlife]

You have Rage?!?! It's so hard to find!

[@emilyhamlett5729]

Not going to lie, I was a little bit jealous that she has it. lol

[@dave_mate4244]

Bro try Amazon

[@AnneLien1987]

I have 3 copies 😁

[@flyinryan6722]

yeah it is hard to find

[@danicalla3778]

Not hard to find. Just expensive. On eBay you can buy from $40-$110.

[@colleenlyon288]

Amazed you have a copy of Rage!

[@vanessajones9524]

Its nice that you care so much for the covers but i recommend you get reading all of them. No way could i have had so many unread ones, i was so hungry for the next book and the next book. Personally i prefer the early books.

[@JesReadsBooks]

I don't choose to read his books based on the covers. There are just a few that I don't want to read currently and haven't had the desire to read. But I'm glad you have gotten to read however many your heart desires.

[@timeforbooks566]

This is such a cool video! :) It just makes me happy. I don't collect his books but I love seeing people's collections.

[@GBunnyG]

I am LIVING for the "Wendy, darling?" candle. I need to know what all of those smell like. This has literally been staring at me from my recommendeds since I subscribed to you. I read The Dark Half in....like 6th grade? And I vividly remember underlining the part where the dead body was found with his own penis shoved in his mouth. I don't remember the context of that scene. Just that it happened. I need to re-read that. I have that cover of Pet Semetary specifically because the cover is so amazing. Actually, I'm now wondering if I still have it... I don't even know what I have on my shelves anymore. Also, how does the paperback version of Under the Dome look so much smaller than the hardback? Shouldn't it be the other way around??? Dolores Claiborne and Gerald's Game came out back to back, and a friend of my mom's was super into getting me all King books. I think he's the one who gave me my first, which was Carrie (I was WAY TOO YOUNG, but it's fine...) I don't remember how old I was, but it's a REALLY great book. And the movie is similarly fantastic, Cathy Bates does a phenomenal job. Yeah, the audiobook for Sleeping Beauties is 20+ hours. And it's not fast to get through. If I remember correctly, you haven't read it yet, no? Horns book is SO SUPERIOR to the movie my GAWD. My heart breaks a little at the thought of you having to sell your books. But I'm glad you kept your Kings. I lost so many of the ones I had from my adolescence, I think my copies of Rose Madder and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon are the only ones that survived to come to my house. I don't know if you will even see this comment, but if you EVER want to buddy read Pet Semetary, I am ALL IN. I love that book, and as I have said to you previously, I need more people to understand how FUCKED UP they treated the cat.

[@matthewhardy6103]

You need to read Dolores Claiborne! its one of the most heart wrenching amazing books ever

[@crazybooklady2104]

I have that same cover of misery and lisey's story. My favorite book by him would be bag of bones. I'm loving your channel. My cover of bag of bones has the ghost over the pond. If you want to buddy read It or carrie, let me know

[@bettytolbert3541]

Greetings!!! I have a lot of Stephen King books, I hope I can find an illustrated copy of The Stand, you may know--but just in case---The Outsider will be out in June ---that way you can save up and get the hardcover if you like---keep reading and Enjoy your books!!

$5 for a book? Damn in my country they are $30-$50 and the salary for an everyday person is $300. Wish they were cheaper so I can own more.

[@WillowsReads]

Loved this.This year I'm working on a personal reading goal of "year of king" in addition to my usual 50 or so books - reading one King book a month to catch up with his work! I would highly recommend The Talisman + the sequel Black House. They tie into the Dark Tower and I personally really enjoyed them. The Talisman is pretty light fantasy, and Black House is very dark horror/fantasy. I'd love to buddy read Pet Sematary if you get to it this year! Here's my short term TBR list including my hopeful King reads: www.goodreads.com/review/list/24590339-kaili?shelf=to-read-next
