This month, let’s celebrate our friends with bikes who like to gossip with us. Read a book about a friendship (or where friendship is a main theme).

Discuss the book(s) you read this month!

I finally finished The Anubis Gates.

I really liked it. It was far from perfect, but overall very enjoyable for me! I bumped up my rating to 5 stars but it was a 4.5.

I have Zero Bomb checked out of the library and it takes place in England so I will be reading that :)

Ohh I loved MStSK!

Not sure what I'll read, I'm behind on all my planned books lol.

Have you ever cheated on your wife with a Russian model you met at Luxembourg? Of course not! You’ve never even been to Luxembourg! (But you can read about it). This month, let’s read a book set in a country you’ve never been to.

I should probably go back to 1Q84 but I also kinda want to go for the them..."

I hated Neverworld Wake! Let me go see you see your review LOL

been waiting on this library book for a while, dunno what took so damn long to get it lol. but i finally read: Mysteries of Alien Visitors and Abductions

very short kid's book on alien abductions and UFO sightings. Loved the illustrations.

Finished another non-fic.

Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now. Very good, has given me a lot to think about. I'm definitely cutting back on my Twitter usage and am concerned about other things that I read in the book. Definitely recommend this one. It's a fairly easy read (a little bit tech speak but I think he did a good job at explaining things).

I plan on reading The Anubis Gates, which I already own, and hopefully also Doomsday Book.

This month, read a book that involves time-travel - and get lost in the pages like Robin Williams (or Nick Jonas in the remake) did in the game Jumanji.

Mysterious UFOs and Aliens
A children's nonfiction book about UFOs and aliens. The illustrations were cute.

Something in the Woods is Taking People
Something in the Woods is Taking People by Stephen Young
This was meh. I was hoping it would be more exciting but it's more like an info dump. Some of the stories were a bit spooky but mostly I just read these like "Really?" I can't take anything having to do with reptilian beings seriously...

Show, Don't Tell: How to write vivid descriptions, handle backstory, and describe your characters’ emotions: Volume 3
This was free on Kindle so I grabbed it. Only took a short time to read because it's quick and to the point. I really liked that she gave so many clear examples and included writing exercises throughout.

I picked up a children's nonfic book about aliens/UFOs lol. It's super short, I'm starting it now. I reckon I'll be done with it very quickly :D

Let us know what you read this month, if you liked it or not, and if you'd recommend it!
