I’m rereading Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children because I learned there are 3 new books (well, new for me) that I’m planning to read next.

    I’m on the second book of the three-body problem series, Dark Forest. Finding it not so enganging as the first One…

      I’m a big fan of that series (the second one being my favorite), but I also get where you’re coming from. I felt that, as books went on, they became more about the Science-Fiction concepts and less about the characters. I do hope you come back around to it though, as I thought that the second half of The Dark Forest was better than the first.

        Maybe that was it. I found fascinating the cultural revolution backdrop on the first one.

    I’m reading the second Warhammer Horus Heresy book and I was expecting this and the first to be a bit poorly written and like fan fiction but they are actually excellent and elegantly written. It’s a stark difference from the meandering and waffle of the wheel of time books I’ve been consuming.

    Currently reading Lolita, after I have book 3 of the Millennium series and book 3 of the expanse.

    Also begrudgingly waiting for the next Crescent City and ACOTAR books, we have a mini book club at work and I’ve already invested too much time into these books to give up now lmao

    Slowly working through House of Leaves. I haven’t read a physical book in many years so it is difficult, and not as convenient as my ereader because I can’t just pull it up onmy phone when I have a few minutes to spare.

        I’m trying but I’m on page 80 after like 3 weeks. I don’t plan on reading another physical book after this. With my Leaf I can read 100+ pages a day.

    I’m reading 4 at the moment, but the one I’m most into is American Gods by Neil Gaiman. I love his books, but struggled with this one in the past. I’m having a good time reading it now, though.
