Right now I’m reading Bird Box as a buffer between Dark Tower Wastlands and Wizard and Glass. Reading DT for the first time and I’m loving it but I needed a short break after reading the first 3 in a row.
I'm deep into Lisey's Story. I wasn't paying too much attention at first but now he's really got me.
Erin! Enjoy Every Dead Thing. John Connolly is my favourite writer behind Stephen King. I’ve read 8 of the Charlie Parker series novels and they are all fantastic!
I'm reading Lethal White, another chapter in the Cormoran Strike Series. So far it's a great story, intriguing and with a good pace.

Tim wrote: "Bleak House by Dickens"That was one of my favorites from last year (or was it the year before??) It was really daunting initially, but I fell in to the story and fell in love. I love Dickens.
Thanks, Alondra. I’m enjoying it so far.
Still trying to get into Ninefox Gambit. I have no idea what is going on.... what anything means... why? Where? Who? The author hides the info from you like some top secret weapon. If things don't turn around soon, then I have every intention of throwing the damned book against a wall …. or running over it with my truck.... >:(
Finishing Flight or Fright. Trying to decide what to read next...Too many choices, not that it's a bad thing :)
I have already finished all of the recent King books, so now I'm reading other things, mainly true crime (now focusing on Jack the Ripper).
I *did* buy a German version of "Everything's eventual" a while ago but reading an whole book in German is going to be challenging and I'm too lazy for that now.

This is going to be my new read. I got a copy last Christmas and have been thinking about it for a year. Another book by Eric Larson, the same author, In The Garden of the Beast (about the ambassador to Germany during the rise of Hitler), was riveting.
Meanwhile I'm exactly halfway through Lisey's Story and finding it really wonderful, enjoying it much more than I did on my first read where I gave it only 3 stars, but still couldn't get it out of my mind.

Me too."
This is one of my new favorites. I loved every bit of this book. Enjoy!

Patricia Cornwell did a true crime based on Jack the Ripper, where she gives her version of whodunit. It was very interesting. Portrait of a Killer: Jack the Ripper - Case Closed
Wow the fourth monkey by J.D Barker was brilliant from start to finish I can't wait to get the next book
Simultaneously still reading the Area X trilogy, and now also listening to the How to Change Your Mind audiobook by Michael Pollan.

Just finished Lisey's Story... my second read and boy, was I wrong the first time when I only gave it 3 stars. I don't know where I was or what I was thinking. It's now one of my favorites. Highly recommended. I'll have a review up shortly. So I'm starting on Rosemary's Baby today. Also reading the new Cormorin Strike book, and Brotherhood of War I - The Lieutenants. Nice Mix.
That's why I love rereading books Nick. I think books change each time you read them. I've always wanted to read Rosemary's Baby but I just haven't gotten around to it.
My current King read is Four Past Midnight. I'm also reading Mondays Not Coming by Tiffany Jackson and I just started a biography about Florence Nightingale by Gilligan Gill.
