Book #6: Carrie by #StephenKing. King’s 1st novel (1974) and a tragic story of a girl/young woman with kinetic powers who is abused & bullied. It’s a revenge story inspired by two girls King grew up with-one of whom committed suicide. #NewYearsResolution #books #reading #horror

Book #5: #Fahrenheit451 by #RayBradbury. This futuristic novel follows a fireman’s journey (whose job it is to set fire to books) of self discovery and unraveling as he rises up against his society/culture. Happy to have finally read it. #NewYearsResolution #readingforpleasure
