If you count yourself as a hardcore Stephen King fan,sex videos hero and heroine movie chances are you've probably read a decent chunk of the horror master's work.
But have you read the stuff he'sbeen reading? Or watching, for that matter?
Anyone who's dipped in to King's On Writingmemoir will know that he's more than happy to talk about the fiction he most enjoys; the end of the book contains a hefty list of titles which King says have "entertained and taught" him, stretching all the way up to 2009.

But what about his more recent fictional recommendations?
Below is a pretty hefty list of all the books, TV shows and movies King has recommended via his Twitter feed in 2019. (We've included the adaptations of his own work that King has spoken positively about, too, because — although he's obviously biased — he's still pretty selective when it comes to his praise of those.)
TV shows
Somehow, alongside all the novels he churns out and the novels he reads, King also finds time to work his way through a solid chunk of TV shows.
This year he's clearly been on a bit of a streaming binge (Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV+ all feature heavily), but he also praised the new Twilight Zoneand tweeted a fairly strong defence for Game of Thrones.

Movies
Only a handful of movie recommendations from the horror master this year, and two of them are based on books from King himself — IT Chapter Twoand Doctor Sleep. The second is particularly notable, though, because it's the follow-up to Kubrick's adaption of The Shining— and King reallywasn't keen on that one.
For fans of King's novels, that meant his praise of Mike Flanagan's Doctor Sleepmovie was a huge moment.

Books
King recommended over 25 books and short stories in 2019, and while many of them are new novels, there are a few older classics in there, too.
As you'd expect, there's plenty of horror — but there are also thrillers from the likes of Lee Child and Don Winslow, book club material from Sarah Blake, and a sprawling dark fantasy novel from Leigh Bardugo.
