Someone Recently Told Me to Read a Book…OK Activerain I am Reading

 

I prefer mysteries and find a lot of good shows on TV so for fun I watch medical shows that are soapy but interesting. TV entertains me while I am working on the computer at night. But I must confess that one of my favorite shows is “Haven” which is a sci-fi show involving a few not so normal characters living in a small coastal community in Maine.

Someone Recently Told Me to Read a Book…OK Activerain I am ReadingThe main reason I do not read much anymore because about half way through a book, I just figure out the plot. It makes me so mad and I really do not try but it just pops into my head.  So I lose interest in the book and finally finish it and find I was right. So I prefer TV as it is easier to guess half way through the 1 hour series than an entire book.

So I bought a book recently after reading the reviews on the internet. “The Colorado Kid” written by Stephen King is the prelude to the series ‘Haven’. Many of the reviews on-line said they did not like the book since when they finished it; the mystery had not been solved. So I thought that this would be the perfect book for me and maybe it would help me make sense of the TV show now in its 4th season. I did not watch the first two seasons so I guess I have some catching up to do.

Anyway, I am now reading this book and totally enjoying it. I do not think I will be figuring out this mystery. Good!

 I love Stephen King’s books, mini series and movies. Remember Carrie, Children of the Corn, Christine, Cujo, The Green Mile, and one of my favorites “Rose Red”.  Currently the TV show “Under the Dome” was created by Stephen King. King is a fantastic writer and has written hundreds of books. So now that I am in the middle of this book, I must start thinking of my next book to read.

Any suggestions? Do you have a favorite Stephen King movie or book?

Hello Kristin! If you love mysteries, try Sidney Sheldon's books. Page-turning. I specially like his The Other Side of Midnight. I have read it years ago but I still couldn't forget the character of Noelle Page.

Hi Patty,

Thanks for the tip and I will definitely read your suggested book. I love to read but I find myself staying up all night to finish the book which doesn't make for productive work days afterwards. Thanks and have a wonderful week.

Kristin~ Stephen King is my absolute fave. When I saw the book you were reading (as I scrolled past your post) in noticed the title and wondering if you knew about Haven. My granddaughter introduced me to the show. It's true King. 

My favorite King books: 11/22/63, Bag of Bones and Duma Key.

Kristin- here's a twist on mysteries... read Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's Relic.  Then if you get hooked read all of his Agent Pendergast series.  They're mysteries with a slight bit of science fiction thrown in.

Hi Donna,

I love Haven and that is one reason I want to read it as maybe some of the incidents in the book will help me to understand what is happening with the show since I missed the first season. OK I will read them, thanks for the tip.

Hi Kathy,

Sounds great as I love sci-fi. I am going nuts tonight as the agent's TC is the biggest problem. I am so glad it closed today!!! If this agent ever submits another offer to me, I will recommend to my client not ot accept. UGGGGGGGGGGGGG. I need to sit down and watch a little tv and read a few pages of my book.

I love mysteries, Kristin, and I figure out the plot too but continue reading. I like the way the elements are woven together. Try reading Louise Penney. She write marvelous mysteries that are deep stories.

Hi Toni,

Thanks so much for your suggestion. I will certainly read one of her books. I was watching a mystery on TV last night and after 10 minutes, I guessed who the murderer was .....found out at end I was right but I wasn't 100% sure at first. I like good mysteries that keep me guessing.

Here I am again, commenting on the same post a year or so later! I've never read the Colorado Kid and I should because I was watching Haven for a while.

King has a new book, Revival which was just released. It sounds good.

Hi Donna,

I will have to find it at the store as anything King writes is terrific. I am hoping Haven comes back soon and that it wasn't cancelled?
