Vivian’s comments from the Laurel County Public Library group.

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng

Krystyna wrote: "5. What book or series would you like to see turned into a film/TV series?"

Lock Every Door by Riley Sager, of course!

My plan is to finish what I have started.
Yesterday I picked up My Name Is Lucy Barton by Elizabeth Strout and I am almost done. I may even finish it today.

Then I have The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang and The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish

I tried reading the DC Icons series, which is young adult, and I couldn't do it. Everyone else loves them for the most part.

I don't think I could live with only reading one book my whole life. I'm going with not reading my favorite genre my whole life.

Finished: My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing

I ended up putting Fallen Too Far by Abbi Glines down. I wasn't enjoying it AT ALL.

Currently reading: The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish

The Dragon Republic R.F. Kuang

The Tea Dragon Society by Katie O'Neill

Next: Ellie and the Harpmaker by Hazel Prior

The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware

It by Stephen King
My edition was 1,166 pages.

This is tough.

Single book: Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng

Book series: All Systems Red by Martha Wells. It's the Murderbot Diaries! I love these so much.

The writing is beautiful! I'm not very far into it. It's definitely going to be a book I have to really commit to. It's a chunk.

I'm just going to continue with what I already have started.

The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish

The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang

Fallen Too Far by Abbi Glines (I'm never going to finish this. I honestly don't think her writing is for me.)

I think for me it depends on the author. Most of the time I'll wait for the hype to die down a bit.

The Dragon Republic is pretty good. Just like the first book, some parts read like a young adult novel, in my opinion anyway. Other than that I am enjoying it.

Buried by Ellison Cooper

Currently reading: My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing

The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang

Fallen Too Far by Abbi Glines

Next: Ellie and the Harpmaker by Hazel Prior

10. Clifford the Big Red Dog by Norman Bridwell

My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing and The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary

I plan on finishing Buried by Ellison Cooper today.

I am in the mood to read everything. I'm going to pick up A Divided Mind by M. Billiter and possibly The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang.

I don't think I'm far enough to have any opinions. I don't think it'll be my next favorite book, but I'm sure it'll be good.
