As you might (or not) know 2026 is the 30th anniversary of Lilja’s Library. I’m celebrating all year long with birthday wishes from friends and fellow King fans (if you want to send in a video I’d be happy to post it on the site) as well as contests. So far I have had 2 contests and soon it’s time for the third.
I haven't set a date or a format for it yet but I wanted to give you a taste of what you can win. Here is a sneak peek.
Hint: Here is a cropped photo showing parts of the important page in the book that you can win...
Even though the contest is in the future I do recommend you to follow my social medias ASAP to avoid missing out! I don’t think I have to tell you, you don’t want to miss out on this one, right?
The second 30th Anniversary contest is over and we have a winner but first let’s check out the correct answer. The question was:
Name the three book series King has written that includes 3 or more books.
The correct answer should be:
The Dark Tower: 8 books The Bill Hodges trilogy: 3 book The Talisman trilogy: 3 books
Yes, The Talisman trilogy is included since the questions was “book series King has written” and the third book is written even if it’s not released yet.
Some of you answered The Gwendy trilogy but that isn’t correct since King was only part of book 1 and 3. Some of you also mentioned The Holly Gibney books and I admit that those can be seen as a series even if I se them more as books with the same character included but I have given right for that as well.
The Green Mile has also been mentioned but that is one book even if it was released in segments but that is not a series.
Unfortunately there were a lot of you that had the correct answer and was drawn but then didn’t include your address and was therefore (as stated on the contest page) disqualified. One that did get the right answers and included his address and is now the happy owner of a copy of the limited Firestarter is…
