Well Tim with 1024 pages it wasn't going to be a quick read was it. LOL I think it took me the best part of a month to read that one.

Really 2 weeks is a very optimistic estimate I'm making lol. I'm lucky if I can get through 50 pages in a day

Jerri (jeanne25) | 60 comments I am about 70% into The 7-1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton. I am not a fan of the whole "whodunnit" style of novels and this wasn't what I was expecting when I requested the book from Netgalley. Obligated now to read and review it, I was kicking myself in the rear for choosing it but it is very well written and original. Although it is still not my cup of tea, I am enjoying it and think that those readers who enjoy Agatha Christie will really like this novel. This novel is to be released in the US on September 18, 2018.

Nicole Stanley | 32 comments I shifted genres and started The Keeper of Lost Things after finishing The Shining. I also requested Strange Weather from the library and ordered Rage from Amazon. Got everything all lined up!

Nancy (paper_addict) | 942 comments I am reading The Humans.


message 5471: by Aditya (new)

Aditya Finished In the Woods by Tana French. I usually hate plot ambiguity but this is the only novel I have read where it was done in a manner that did not bother me. A brilliant read, it won a lot of awards and rightfully deserved them, it made me invest in its characters and also works as well as a tragedy as it does as a mystery. A very brave first book. Rating - 5/5.

How do you like it so far? I am only on episode three of the show and I like the book better because of all the changes they made in the show. But that’s how it usually is. LOL

I am looking forward to the show. The trailer looks really. The book was sometimes frustrating. It’s been a few years since I read it so at least I won’t be making too many comparison. LOL

Yeah, the book is a beast. It's a lot of material and if AMC does it right, could be a decent running show for them. So much goes on it that I don't want to make comparisons between the two either unless they make some pretty glaring errors.

Nancy (paper_addict) | 942 comments I started The Ritual


message 5491: by Aditya (new)

Aditya Finished The Likeness by Tana French, a disappointing follow up to In the Woods. The main premise is too mind boggling and the characters too unrealistic for me to take it seriously. Rating - 3/5.

I honestly didn't like the book. It was hard for me to get into, just like the show.

J.J. | 55 comments I read Altered Carbon a few weeks before it premiered on Netflix.
When I read it, it took a while to get use to the tech jargon. It was an interesting read. I gave it 3 stars.
When I binged on Altered Carbon on Netflix for 2 days. I found the show awesome. It's rare when you actually like the show more the book. There;s no other sci fi show like it and found it completely original. I give the show 5 stars.


message 5496: by J.J. (new)

J.J. | 55 comments In Feb. I read Red Rising series Iron Gold by Pierce Brown, Great series. One of my favorite series. I also read Oathbringer in Feb. from the Stormlight Archives series by Brandon Sanderson. That series is great Brandon Sanderson a master world builder when it come to fantasy genre. Red Rising is a great scifi fantasy series.

Right now in March I'm reading fantasy book The Shadow of What was Lost by James Islington which is pretty good. Reminds me of the Wheel of Time series book The Eye of the World(book1). I'm also reading The Worm Oroboros by E.R. Edison. So far so good and it's a scifi book


Diana *always waiting for the next vacation* (dianaalwayswaitingforvacation) Just finished The Waste Lands by Stephen King.
All in all a good book but it contains parts where I just want to throw it against a wall.

Started The Birth House yesterday. It seems to be a quick and interesting read.

Michele (spookybookshelfie) | 116 comments I have a problem... I used to only read 1 book at a time because I have trouble with consentration..but lately I've been starting multiple books at the same time and instead of finishing those I just pick up another one😂 so I'm currently (still) reading American Psycho , Night Shift and The Phantom of the Opera ... all of them great books I just need to consentrate ...


message 5499: by Jerri (new)

Jerri (jeanne25) | 60 comments Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi (audio version), The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon by King (also audio), Peaceable Kingdom by Jack Ketchum and Trigger Warning by Neil Gaiman. I love short story collections and I have never read Gaiman before (although I have seen great reviews on his works). I am working my way slowly through this collection because while I can see the talent, they seem kind of dry to me. Having trouble staying interested.
