Books

On book two of the Hyperion series. The fall of Hyperion.

The Path of Daggers, book 8 of Wheel of Time. I’m maybe 4 or 5 chapters in so got a ways to go.

Be Mine by Richard Ford. It’s the fifth book in the Frank Bascombe series. The first book, The Sportswriter, is one of my favorites and this one is solid as always.

I finished started the cradle series about 2 months ago and finished the first 11 just as the 12th one came out. I find it so easy to read but it kinda made getting into something a bit more serious kinda hard lol. I really liked it tho and I think the ending was well executed.

I'm currently on a reread of red rising for the upcoming release of The 6th book. On book 2 at the moment and definitely quite enjoying it again. Would recommend checking the series out if you like sci-fi/fantasy

I'm reading Godkiller by Hannah Kaner. I was engrossed right from the prologue, and it's been hard whenever I've had to put the book down!

I took a break (almost a week now) after reading Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon. Before that, it was her The Bluest Eye. Thinking of reading The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin

Currently reading the Chronicles of St Mary's series. I'm on book 10, which is the last one that I own, but I've really enjoyed the series so will definitely pick up the rest at some point.

It's a series about historians who time travel to document historical events, so there's an accurate telling of the story rather than things being disputed. It often ends up going wrong though. It's rather light-hearted (apart from book 8 where everything goes a bit serious), and the humour is great. Similar humour to Terry Pratchett's books, I would say, though I haven't read loads of his work.

Just finished Maeve Fly by CJ Leeds, and about to start on Secret Project #3/Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson.

I'm taking a second stab at House of Leaves. I got about halfway through a few years ago and then my life went nuts and I forgot about it. I'm enjoying it, but definitely getting through a lot more slowly than other books I've read recently.

I'm reading Black House by Peter May

I've put ocean's echo on hold to reread the son of Neptune (second Percy Jackson series) while my son reads it, and also rereading the hobbit to my kids at bedtime.

The Puzzler by A.J. Jacobs. I highly recommend it. I have never been especially into puzzles but learning about all the different kinds has made me very excited to try them all out!

I'm currently reading ~~two~~ three books in a snail speed.

Gerald's Game - Stephen King, I get in to the book with the knowledge that I might not like the book, mainly because I get bored really quicky if majority of the plot happens psychologically. And it does feels like it's that type of book. However, what I'm not prepared was the subplot of

It makes a really hard read. Currently only reads on short sprints.

The Citadel - A J Cronin, didn't realized the book was published in 1930s ... and it shows.

Don Quixote - Miguel de Cervantes (trans. Tobias Smollett), reading this reminded me how boring I had become. It should be by all account, a very funny book, but though there are humorous situations, I hardly laughed. Again, reading in a snails pace.

Darien by C. F. Iggulden. It's been sitting on my shelf for years, so I've finally pulled the trigger and started it. I haven't read much yet, but so far so good. :)

I’m almost done with Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam. It’s interesting, but I don’t really like it.

Finished Yellowface then followed up with The Curse of the Marquis de Sade. Getting my dose of the book publishing community and trading.

Kill the Farm Boy by Kevin Hearne and Delilah Dawson

So far is very alright. Very light reading where they’re just going out of their way to parody all the typical fantasy tropes. Almost a Christopher Moore feel but not as sharp
