What Book Are You Currently Reading?

[Neanderthal247]

No. No, I'm actually NOT reading this book like I thought I was. I'm reading The Calling Game by JD Barker. Guess what my next book will be?

@Neanderthal247 you'll enjoy this story, I think.

I'll have to check it out

Thank you

yeah, its definitely not a new book, lol.

sort of a mind fuck if i'm honest. i'm far enough in now that i get how it works, but it still makes me a bit upset at the end of each chapter.

honestly... it's like literary edging

That is an incredibly good description.

I may return to it at some point, see how it lands this time. I did enjoy it but it wasn't wholly satisfying.

that's what i'm afraid of ... reaching the end and still wanting ... literary blue balls

I finished listening to A Serial Killer's Guide to Marriage by Asia Mackay (highly unrealistic but enjoyable) and started Slade House by David Mitchell. I'm also reading 1984. And I need to start Frankenstein for spooky season.

I had never even heard of it until someone here on Lit encouraged me to read it about 8 years ago.

What did you think of it?

 

[Love_Is_Blonde]

A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher.

 

[barefootgirl69]

What did you think of it?

I thought it strange because it wasn't my usual genre. But, that was the point - to try something new. I still have it on my shelf because I know I'll want to read it again and grow with it.

Definitely not one of the best ones. I'm in a re-read phase. Third time going through the Reacher series. I enjoy re-reads of books or series that I like
