What Book Are You Currently Reading?

[bookworm69]

I just finished The Vanishing by Wendy Webb. I found it while looking for another book by the same name, but found this instead and it looked like a good, spooky read. It did not disappoint!

Currently reading The Housemaid by Friday McFadden.

Enjoyed The Housemaid.

It was a quick read.

Just finished reading again, All Quiet On The Western Front. One of these days I may have to purchase a new one, my copy is getting so beat up.

The Novel Matrix: The Complete Novel Writing Guide

 

[RockMetal4Life]

Hi all. New hear.

So a strange thing happened to me during the pandemic (sounds like the start of an amusing anecdote right). I lost the ability to pay attention to what I was reading. I'd read a couple of lines, find they'd not soaked in, and have to read them again. I'm mid 40s and had always been a big reader.

Anyway, I gave audiobooks a go. Game changing moment. I love them now and I can listen wherever. Providing the narrator is good.

Im currently working my way through a series of books by a chap called Grieg Beck. The Acardian saga. It's about a soldier who gets shot in the head and goes through a medical trial that turns him into a super soldier. Think U.S. special forces meets science fiction, aliens and horror. I quite like them.

Just finished Demon of Unrest. Good but not as good as it should have been

Have you ever read Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo? It is the most anti-war book imaginable. (But, not for the faint of heart)

Another to add to my list of must reads this winter.

Trying to catch up with book 10 of the Wandering Inn

 

[cheekygirl75]

I need recommendations - I’m almost finished my book and the ones I have on hold aren’t ready yet.

I’m looking for something fairly light, like young adult fantasy. I’m currently re-reading Mercedes Lackey’s Valdemar books, so something along those lines would be great. I need something engaging and fun, with good world building and not too much blood and death.

Edited to add - something I can find at my library, please!

I would recommend a web series

A great fantasy. Litrpg series

Thank you! I’d prefer something from the library, though. The format of reading a website on my phone is not comfortable for me.

There are published books. Not sure if you would find them at a library.

Have you read Leigh Berdugo’s books? I think they’d fit what you’re looking for - and your library should have some of them.

I have, but maybe it’s time to reread them, thanks for the reminder!

You’re welcome. Are you familiar with Christopher Moore? His stuff is light, touching, fantastic and often hilariously funny.

Sounds familiar but not sure I’ve ever read anything of his. I’ll have to check it out, thanks!
