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

Happy Wednesday! What have you recently finished reading? What are you currently reading? What do you plan on reading next?

My reading update is the same as last week. I haven't finished anything new. I'm still reading Plain Bad Heroines. It's a tome! I plan on reading more of it this week and weekend. Hopefully, I will be able to finish it soon.

Maybe a buddy read?"

I didn't know you were interested in that one. We can totally buddy read it."

What books?

I read quite a bit of A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. I'm almost 400 pages in."

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts when you finish it.

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend. What do you currently have checked out from the library?

I have Odd Spirits by S. T. Gibson checked out. It's a really short novella and I love the cover.

If you enjoyed those I could offer up some more thriller recommendations. The Tom Clancy you mentioned is more of a mystery genre. The Maiden and The Silent Patient are more of a thriller. I don't read many mysteries, but thrillers are my jam!
