Liliac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly for my book club.
Exquisite by Sarah Stovell….and it is!
I’m reading Ready Player One at the moment.
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 ^_^
Kendare Blake- rereading Three Dark Crowns and then One Dark Throne
Y? The movie looks good thought i’d give it a shot. I’m half way through it so far it’s an amazing story really pulled me in very hard to put down

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.
The River by Beverly Lewis
Reason why: Cause ive never read it before.
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.
It’s a great book ?
“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.
Pride and prejudice
SAME!! I’m only on chapter 3 though
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. 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.
Thanx very much everyone xx
I’m just having a book crisis as I’m not really sure what I want to read. I can’t seem to get into any book at the moment xx
Just started on Mr Mercedes. l got the title on this forum. lm actually a huge fan of King but had never heard of this particular book. Thanks guys 🙂
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? (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 Colour Purple by Alice Walker
The Unquiet Grave by Sharon McCrumb.
@Victoria I’m only on page 85 too! It’s intense!?
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
I am reading creepy/scary/witchy/mystery for October too?
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.
This. The writing isn’t great but the story is good. Hoping the writing style gets better.
I’m re-reading night world because I love teen supernatural romance novels
am in the middle of Nalini Singh’s Archangel’s Consort. because i LOVE this series & can’t read Ilona Andrews & J R Ward ALL the time!!
YASSSSS!!! ??? have you read her Psy-Changeling series?
@Victoria yes…love those too. but Rafael is my #1
I definitely prefer the PS series but I LOVE the Seven ?
I just started Just Like Other Daughters by Colleen Faulkner! Why because i got it on sale at Chapters for $3.34 and it sounds like a great read!!
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!
I’m a sucker for anything related to WWII and the Holocaust. A different spin than the norm!
Stephen King???
I finished the one in my previous comment and started this today.
intriguing…… good?
On page 56 and really liking it so far.
Before you Die by Samantha Hayes, because I thoroughly enjoyed her previous one called Until You’re Mine. Gripping stuff!
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.
