Nevernight – because it looked interesting Lie Down in Roses – because I saw it at the store and bought it Persuasion, Captain Wentworth and Cracklin Corbread – because it sounded funny
Seeking Eden by DB Carpenter. It popped up In my newsfeed as a kindle freebie, and I’m really enjoying it. Started last night & nearly halfway through.
The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith, for funsies The Lost World and Other Stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, monthly classic The Heart-shaped Box by Joe Hill, book club read Blue on the Horizon by Rebecca Porter, for funsies The Second Incarnation of Beelzebub by Anthony O’Connor, for funsies (this one has made it to my favorites list and I haven’t even finished it!).
A Good Yarn by Debbie Macomber. It’s not your typical romance novel. It and interesting story about interesting people dealing with real life problems.
Shark attacks in Australian waters. Because it is coming up to Summer and I love researching stuff based on fact and science. I find it fascinating how unpredictable sharks can be, even in a predictable situation. Dinosaurs of the deep.
Egomatic this author has me in stiches every book she always has both sides of course I have to admit the men’s pov are down right crying of laughter . She makes the woman not weak and stand up for themselves and dont fall in bed right away . Money bags I just finished that one was downright funny this author I love laugh laugh hurt my stomach .
I’m reading The Lake House by Kate Morton. I saw a lot of posts about the book and I found it in the “must read” section at the bookstore. I’m almost on page 300 and I find the story vey slow, but I will carry on and finish the book.
I am reading World War Z because I just finished Midnight’s Children by Salman Rushdie. It was an amazing read but now I need something light, distracting and easy while I am in the recovery period.
I’m reading A Jane Austen Devotional & Mindy Kaling’s Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me. Why? Because I love Austen & needed a pick me up something humorous.
It’s been on my tbr for a fair while, but shot to the top when I went to see IT with a friend, and we were both bouncing around on 80s hype after that. Ready Player One came up, my friend not long having listened to the audiobook.
I’m enjoying it, though it seems very…name-droppy? Like ‘look at me, I know all these 80s things!’. The trivia within is very interesting, but it’s written like a ream of information sometimes, which I’m finding a bit of a strain. The actual story, though? I’m beginning to get into the meat of that now and I’m really enjoying it ^^
I’ve just today got to…trying not to spoiler…the D&D lich. It’s reminding me a lot of the whole ‘chess match with Death’ type thing. I can’t remember where that idea originates from but I’ve seen it pop up several times before ^_^
Voyageur by Diana Gabaldon…a refresher for season 3 of the tv series. I read the Outlander series in its entirety about once a year…just because I love them SO much!!
The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by John James Adams Douglas Adams’s Starship Titanic by Terry Jones The Mortification by Derek Palacio Dragon Seed by Pearl S. Buck The Fortune Hunter by Daisy Goodwin Les Miserables by Victor Hugo The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe To the Letter by Simon Garfield Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke Slaughter: Origin Story by @James Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen The Original Illustrated Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The case for Christ by Lee Strobel. Because I wanted to read a book that shared some archeological and theology points from the Bible. Really good book so far.
Jack Kerouac’s On The Road, because I bought it last year and I should read it now..it’s really good, I’m trying to read my own book stash and trying real hard not to check anything out, hard because I do work at a library. The other book is I know This Much is True, a shocking begining but it’s pretty good so far, it’s been in my pile for many years (ten I think) so when I read this it’s going out. I am going to start Lost in a Book the Beauty and the Beast story. I fell in love with the cover art so really I’m keeping this book.
Just bought a book by Neil Gaiman, called Neverwhere. It sounds so good, and I know he is a good writer, but never read any of his books, so decided to bite the bullet and buy one today.
“Lair of Dreams” by Libba Bray because it’s the sequel to “The Diviners” and I really loved that book and I’m eager for more of the very interesting world that Libba created and I’m just dying to know what’s going to happen next.
Going through a reread of GOT. I’m in the middle of A Clash of Kings. It was years overdue for a reread. I finished Dragonflight tonight and have moved on to Dragonquest. First time going through Pern. Lessa is amazing. F’lar too. I’m listening to Fool Moon. I just started Jim Butcher. I really have to wonder what took me so long to get to him. He’s been recommended to me for years. He’s moved to one of my favorites within 3 books. Harry is awesome and his Cinder Spires series is fantasy for cat lovers.
Im enjoying it so far. If a book is interesting from page one, its worth reading. Mr King has never disappointed me. l was introduced to his books at age 12 and am still a fan, more than 25 years later.
Almost done with Heartless by Marissa Meyer. I asked for it since the books i have been looking for is still not available. Like its so hard to find? (imma ask my relatives from US to just gift me a set of a series i wanted. Sounds selfish but they asked my mom what i liked,Lol. My mom also wanted this series soo yah?). So i decided to just buy this for now since its still Marissa Meyer and my bestfriend asked me if o had 2 books she took a pic ok the bookstore and it kept me intriguing. AND ITS A FREAKIN RETELLING OF ALICE! But like more romance and drama???.
The Woman In Cabin 10. I’m trying to read mysteries and thrillers for the month of October. However I don’t have too many of those so I may have to switch to monsters and vampires at the end of the month
The Help by Kathryn Stockett … bcoz many frnds recommended it and I wanted to find out why it’s so good… I like it so far…It a bit touchy on the topic tho.
Currently…? Oh dear, um…. ‘The handmaids tale’ – wanted to compare with what I saw on the SBS catchup, and see what the fuss is about; and the fourth Outlander book – cos I read the first three and like em ; ‘The Redemption’ – cos this is the first book in a set of three, and my mother brought over the second book when she came to visit last, saying that it was good. I noticed the first one on her bookshelf when I was over at her (interstate) place last week, and so started reading that and brought it back with me so that I could read them in order!
A whole new world, book 1 in the Twisted Tales Series because it’s been on my TBR for a while and I’ve been so excited to read it as I love all things Disney/fairytales/retellings/twists. Also it’s perfect for this time of the year.

Revival huge Stephen King fan
Is Revival good? I had it in my Amazon basket but took it out again as I wasn’t sure.
So far it’s not to bad. Nothing scary has happened as yet though. Classic Stephen King writing.
Going through a reread of GOT. I’m in the middle of A Clash of Kings. It was years overdue for a reread. I finished Dragonflight tonight and have moved on to Dragonquest.

How is the book so far. Its on my TBR pile.
Im enjoying it so far. If a book is interesting from page one, its worth reading. Mr King has never disappointed me. l was introduced to his books at age 12 and am still a fan, more than 25 years later.
yea me too
I loved the trilogy. It got me back into reading Stephen King after a long break. I devoured them!
Trilogy?
Mr Mercedes is the 1st then Finder’s Keepers and finally End of Watch. I rattled through them – I love the Bill Hodges character.
Will keep that in mind. Actually thought Mr Mercedes came out after those two now i know better.
Almost done with Heartless by Marissa Meyer. I asked for it since the books i have been looking for is still not available. Like its so hard to find?
