I can and have read three at one time without forgetting where I am at any one time. But 10 at a time I would never get anything done.

Fair enough and how many tines have you read it ? My sons favorite when he was younger was Winking Blinking and Nod. I swear I read that story at least 50-100 times I use to be able to quote it word for word with out the book. I had the book open but not to the page. I got caught one night when I was reading and my son wanted to see the pics, LOL.
I read one book at a time. I’m currently reading Shadows of Self by Brandon Sanderson.

Would absolutely recommend this to anyone who hasn’t read it.

This is my third book of his, They Thirst and Swan Song being the other two. This is my favourite so far and I will definitely get to the two you mentioned.
I recently finished The Outsider and A Head Full of Ghosts. I liked them both.Now I'm reading Dolores Claiborne.

Plan on reading Gerald's Game right after that... they're connected.
Nick wrote: "Plan on reading Gerald's Game right after that... they're connected."I read that recently but I must say that was my least favorite King book yet. I have seen that a lot of people on here liked Gerald's Game but not me. I struggled to get through it.

The stories are very different they share the time and the eclipse.
Finished the Long Walk and Starting A Clockwork Orange.

Same here so I decided to give it a try.
I love A Clockwork Orange. I like much more than the movie. I hope you like it.I am reading Hyperion.
Finished cat and mouse my next book on the list is KINSEY AND ME BY SUE GRAFTON
I have just started Dr Sleep, it was a choice between that it Mr Mercedes. Both long overdue for reading
I started A Darkness Absolute by Kelley Armstrong

Really just cross-references.
I'm currently reading Bram Stoker's Dracula! Very intriguing to see how the horror genre has formed over the last century. I've picked up quite a few similarities, which makes me think that the novel would have been ahead of it's time when it was originally published in 1897! Very enjoyable read so far!
Starting book 7 of The Dark Tower series,and The DC Universe by Neil Gaiman.
Reading Panic by Jeff Abbott and it's pretty good so far
I’m reading The Haunting by Ruby Jean Jensen.
The Bands of Mourning by Brandon Sanderson
Just finished The Girl Who Wrote in Silk... cross between horrific historical fiction and a really bad romance novel, and yet it's a bestseller. Here's my overlong review.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The fine sophomoric effort from Patrick Lacey
We Came Back. No sophomore let down here!My review:
http://intothemacabre.com/2018/07/30/...
Erin let me know your thoughts on Drood since this is on my to read list
No pressure, Erin. You have at least three people in two different groups who want to know how you like Drood.
It's becoming a tough read. I am almost half way through it (thanks to spending six hours at jury duty yesterday) and I feel like the book isn't focusing enough on Drood, it's more of a study of the relationship between Dickens and Collins. I guess I should reserve complete judgement until I finish it.
Finished Kinsey and me Am now reading Margret Truman 3in1 murder at the 1: national cathedral 2: Kennedy center and murder in the C.I.A
Recently I've read The Gunslinger. Currently I'm reading Misery for BookTube-A-Thon to afterwards carry on with the Dark Tower series. I have read at least 3 Dark Tower tie-ins (Eyes of the Dragon, It, Everything's Eventual) before actually starting the series and it was fun!
Just finished A Clockwork Orange. Talk about a hard book to read, 140 plus pages took over 4 days...Reading Death cure book three in the Maze runner series.
I loved Drood. It is very strange, but wonderful. Who would ever come up with Wilkie Collins as a character in a novel?

I like A Clockwork Orange. I hope you enjoyed it. It got into a rythym with the writing and I felt it was kind of sing-song.
