This month for the Stephen King Fan group we are discussing The Regulators. We read Desperation last time so this is a perfect companion book for that one.
From the bestselling author of Thinner comes the harrowing story of a magically gifted child in the grip of the darkest evil. Seth Garon, a young boy whose supernatural powers are just awakening, finds himself in a world where absolutely terrifying things are not locked in the imagination but are free to come true.
Next up we have the Young Adult Book Club's book for July. We are reading The Coldest Girl in town by Holly Black.
Tana lives in a world where walled cities called Coldtowns exist. In them, quarantined monsters and humans mingle in a decadently bloody mix of predator and prey. The only problem is, once you pass through Coldtown’s gates, you can never leave.
One morning, after a perfectly ordinary party, Tana wakes up surrounded by corpses. The only other survivors of this massacre are her exasperatingly endearing ex-boyfriend, infected and on the edge, and a mysterious boy burdened with a terrible secret. Shaken and determined, Tana enters a race against the clock to save the three of them the only way she knows how: by going straight to the wicked, opulent heart of Coldtown itself.
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown is a wholly original story of rage and revenge, of guilt and horror, and of love and loathing from bestselling and acclaimed author Holly Black.
The Coldest Girl in Coldtown- I hope you review it! I've heard a little about it but would love to read your thoughts on it. Such a wonderful title and I think it's already on my tbr- I hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, The Regulators sounds interesting and it's been awhile since I've read a horror/Stephen King ;) Happy reading~
ReplyDeleteThe Coldest Girl in Coldtown sounds really interesting! I had never thought of bookclubs on Goodreads! What fun!
ReplyDeleteThe Regulators is on my to-read list and I'd love to join in this month, but it have some books I really want to read first like Mr Mercedes. I have to finish my current read before that. I will look forward to your review though.
ReplyDeleteThat one does sound interesting and I am surprised that I haven't read that King book!!
ReplyDeleteI think Coldest Girl in Coldtown is a neat name.. and I think the cover is pretty clever too. I'll be reading it soon. I'm excited to get started on it.
ReplyDeleteThanks.. I don't usually get to always read along with the King group.. just depends on how much reading I have that month.
ReplyDeleteThe bookclubs on goodreads are fun. I actually started there before I ever started blogging. I even was on goodreads before any social networking for me (twitter, facebook). I still like going there and chatting about books.
ReplyDeleteMr Mercedes is one I really want to read too. I am sure the group will read that one together in September!
ReplyDeleteOh good!! I am glad you joined. That group is pretty active. Sometimes I have a hard time keeping up with all the posts and have to set aside a day to do it.
