  • Finally this video has happened...my bookshelf tour as of 2021. This is my updated Stephen King collection 2021 and man this collection has been years in the making. I'm a massive stephen king collector and fan as many of you know. So is this the biggest Stephen King collection ever? Let me know of someone who has more. I've been collecting Stephen King books since I was young and it helps that I have access to several half price books and a wife that let me use a guest room as a library! I really hope you enjoy, give this a thumbs up for the library tour coming soon. It'd mean a ton if you subscribed too as this whole video from start to finish was a 25 hour long project! lol Thanks for watching, Enjoy!
    Books mentioned.....I literally can't tag them all haha

    You have the most awesome collection. Love your Stephen King library. Lot's of your favourite covers were mine too. I don't get how some people don't like Dreamcatcher either. You have a lot of really good King books to get to, but I recommend The Dead Zone if you liked Cujo because their all part of The Castle Rock trilogy. Needful Things at the time was the final Castle Rock story but since then he wrote Lisey's Story which is one of his best in my opinion. Keep on collecting King!

    Zack great SK collection. I always get mixed comments from people when mentioning listening to the audio version but not physically reading. Some consider that not reading a book and therefore should not be counted that way. Do you get similar comments? FYI the audio version of the Dead Zone is incredible. James Franco nailed it.

    • @ZacksBooks
      @ZacksBooks  Před 3 lety +2

    Under the Dome is such a good read. Like all good Steven King books it's a thousand pages of nonsense with really entertaining characters. And the ending I'd say it's literally the last 20 pages, because the actual climax of the story is great and a nice visual metaphor of what happens when people are trapped.

Personall, they're my favourite prints because they're colourful with minimalistic covers! I know they're not as exciting as some editions of King's books, but they definitely add a splash of colour!

You're also missing (or at least did not show) many of the limited and signed limited editions, which would absolutely need to part of anyone claiming to have the "BIGGEST STEPHEN KING COLLECTION EVER" which this is most certainly not.

    I love your shirt. So far I have 7 books and one audiobook on my mom’s Audible account for Stephen King books. I have; IT, Carrie, Cujo, pet Sematary, Misery, The Shinning and 11/22/63. The audiobook I have is The Stand. Someone on Facebook is mailing me a copy of Fire Starter for free because she had an extra copy she no longer needed. Also I found another person on facebook who is supposed to send me a picture of all the extra copies of Stephen King books she owns that she no longer needs. If I see any in her collection I want I just had to pay shipping. I am trying to start my own Stephen King collection, and I’m also doing a book club with one other person and we only read Stephen King books. Right now we are reading Pet Sematary. The other person in my book club finished the book. I have not yet. Our next read will be Fire Starter than 11/22/63. I also get my audiobooks and ebooks of Stephen king free on the Libby app. The only reason why I bought The Stand on Audible is because my mom gave me one of her free credits.

      I've had a video planned for that book for a while now but I think that the video won't work anymore so maybe I'll pick it up soon!

    HOW ON EARTH... can someone who claims to be a fan, and have numerous copies of his works...have not read hardly any of them. I'm confused. The day they're released it's purchased , a week or less later its already read and on the shelf in our home. I think you're a Stephen King collector, not a fan.
