Stephen King thinks this Liane Moriarty book is the perfect Christmas gift

Stephen King is not only one of the most prolific authors of the last fifty years, but also one of our most voracious readers. For a man who has written at a rate of more than a book a year since then “Carrie” released in 1974 It’s amazing that he still manages to find time to read somewhere in the neighborhood of 80 books between January and December. How does he do it? Have you ever seen the guy sitting in the stands at a Boston Red Sox game? He always has an open book while playing for his favorite Major League Baseball team. (And starting from The King’s countless TV recommendationsHe watches a lot of channels too!)

This is especially noticeable when you consider that many authors complain about not being able to find time to read more than one or two books a year because it might distract them from finishing their book. So, when you’re browsing through books at your local bookstore (hopefully you still have one), and you come across a novel with a quote from King on the cover, know that it’s not just exchanged records ; The man has already read and enjoyed the book in your hands.

So, while you’re doing your last-minute holiday shopping this week, and find yourself searching for a can’t-miss novel for the bookworm in your life, perhaps consider the latest from Liane Moriarty as King suggests!

Liane Moriarty has been one of the most popular novelists on the planet since her novel “The Husband’s Secret” became a New York Times bestseller in 2013. She had even greater success the following year with her novel “Big Little Lies,” which later became It became a hit Primetime Emmy Award-winning series for HBO starring Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, and Laura Dern (albeit as a series). It features a very gruesome courtroom scene(As /Film has pointed out in the past). 10 years later, anything she writes is a landmark book, but King thinks her 2024 offering is particularly remarkable.

As King wrote on Bluesky:

“Here’s one moment, Liane Moriarty: The premise is irresistible – a woman on a flight from Hobart to Sydney begins to predict the age and manner of death of her fellow passengers. Beautifully written, this propulsive novel has a serious theme. It could be a great Christmas gift for this The special person.”

Although the New York Times and The Guardian did not feature Here One Moment as highly as King, this link is enough for me to consider reading it. Pay tribute to the King of Horror, and this is as close to a clincher as you’ll get. The book has been a huge seller since its release last September, but sales may rise significantly now. If you’re a Big Little Lies fan, what are you waiting for?
