@Melissa I’m just a few pages in, soooo…. That said, I’ve heard great reviews and some have remarked it’s scary. I’m watching the movie once I finish the book.
I think there’s something wrong with me. At the moment, I’m reading (1) STAR TREK: ONE CONSTANT STAR by David R. George III, (2) STORM FRONT by Jim Butcher, (3) THE DIAMOND THRONE by David Eddings, (4) STAR WARS – DARTH BANE: PATH OF DESTRUCTION by Drew Karpyshyn, (5) THE COMPLETE SHERLOCK HOLMES by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and I just finished HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER’S STONE by J.K. Rowling, so I’ll probably start (6) HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS in the next few days, too. THE BLACK ECHO by Michael Connelly and DARKFALL by Dean Koontz are waiting in the wings for the next time I feel like non-magic crime noir story or a horror story, respectively.
It’s a sickness, I know. I’d seek help, but there are so many books to read that I just don’t have time.
I’m too Prussian (my husband says this given I’m first generation American by way of Germany) to not be Über focused on one thing. I only read one book and perhaps a magazine at the same time so I’m like WOW! How do you keep it all straight? Especially the same genre? There was a point I was watching two shows on Netflix in the same time period and my brain would think about both. One was fiction and the other a documentary.
I basically read a chapter at a time in each book depending on my mood. It’s almost like watching TV: if you can keep track of what’s happening in the ongoing storylines of THE WALKING DEAD, THE FLASH, ARROW, GAME OF THRONES, NCIS, BLUE BLOODS, and DOCTOR WHO as they air, it’s really the same thing. I’ll probably read a chapter in DARTH BANE later today, and tonight do a chapter in STORM FRONT. For me, it actually helps minimize fatigue with any one genre because I can switch whenever my mood changes, and since everything is on my Kindle I have it all in one place.
The Handmaid’s Tale. Did y’all realize it was first published in 1986? Over 30 years before it became a tv miniseries. Pretty scary what Margaret Atwood was seeing for the future, like Orwell’s 1984.
@Amy It’s the FIRST time I will EVER DNF a book! It has put me in a slump (not even The Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard, which I hated, didn’t do that!) And I want out!
I’m almost done with Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan and I’m about 20% into Skyward by Brandon Sanderson. So far, would definitely recommend both.
Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage. Love it so far.
I’ve read this one..
When I’m Gone by Emily Bleeker.
Is this scary?

STIIL trying to get through A Forest of a Thousand Lanterns. It may possibly be the first book I actually DNF.
Oh no… I have dnf several, mainly because I wasn’t in the mood for that certain book So I hope I’ll want to read them in the future.
@Melissa I have NEVER DNF’d a book because they can surpise me, but this one is sooooooo slow…
@Rae oh that stinks.. is it a big book?
@Melissa 360 pages…and I am on page 55…after 2 weeks…
@Rae ouch! And I heard such good things too. I recently DNFed The Handmaid’s Tale. I got about 50% of the way through.
@Amy It’s the FIRST time I will EVER DNF a book! It has put me in a slump (not even The Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard, which I hated, didn’t do that!) And I want out!
@Rae there’s no point forcing yourself to read something you’re not enjoying.
@Amy And for the first time, I am ACTUALLY not going to force myself to read it. Fortunately, it was a library book! ?
@Rae I’m glad to hear it. Life is too short for crap books.
The Infinite Blacktop by Sara Gran.
Love letters to the dead
Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy
@Maryann saw netflix movie. Meh…at best.
@Judy I wanted to read the book before I watched. I’m not too far into it yet but so far so good.
@Maryann seemed to have same perspective and conclusion as those before it. Nice enough. Let me know if book has more meat.
@Judy will do! ?
Listen to the Marriage by John Jay Isborn, writer of The Paper Chase. Loving it.
Just finished The Love Letter by Rachel Hauck. Perfect!
Marry Me At Christmas by Susan Mallery.
Night Work by Steve Hamilton….love, love his books!!
I’m almost done with Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan and I’m about 20% into Skyward by Brandon Sanderson. So far, would definitely recommend both.
Just finished ‘Queen of Shadows’ by Sarah J. Maas. Excited to start (or continue) something else ?
