________ Hello, I'm joining you from Boston, USA, and my current favorite author is Leigh Bardugo because I loved the Six of Crows duology. Currently, I'm reading 1984 -it's quite fascinating. I just finished Truly Devious and Fighting Words today. I'm a fan of fantasy, realistic fiction, and recently, dystopian. I can't wait to talk about books with more book lovers! [I don't know any- all of my friends are not that into books :( ]

Hi Henry! I am a huge historical fiction fan. It is rare to see me reading outside of that genre. But I made it my goal this year to branch out a little. What is your favorite era in history to read? I am stuck on a WWII craze right now and many of the books on my want to read list are from that era. But right now I am reading a Stephen King novel which I am actually enjoying quite a bit. But my next read is going to be something from Erik Larson.
Feel free to add as friend...maybe we have read some of the same books and can discuss :)

message 2679: by Debra (new)

Debra Penrice | 1 comments Hello, I'm joining you from Bristol in the UK. I run my own business and work for an indie publisher in book marketing, I love to read and this group caught my eye because Michelle Obama's book is on my list to read this year. I enjoy fiction; having read four Jojo Moyes books in three months, she's my favourite fiction author right now. But my favourite book of all time is the classic, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. I also read plenty of non-fiction, both spiritual and business books. I recently finished Glennon Doyle's Untamed, and I'm working my way through Atomic Habits. Happy to connect and hear your recommendations.

If you like sci-fi, I recommend To Sleep in a Sea of Stars, by Chris Paolini.

Also I forgot to mention, you guys don't need to call me blistering barnacles haha- its just a line from a book. I change my username a lot, from random lines that I like. You can call me A.

Since you like mysteries, I could recommend 2 (these are considered middle grade/ya since I just got into mysteries and I wanted to start at the basics): Truly Devious by Maureen Johnson and One of Us Is Lying
