I enjoyed the previous three books! Figured I have to read the last one so I can complete the series. I have many other series I need to get to!
i'm reading lotr the two tower rn, i am in the part eith the ents right now, i love it, i personally prefer it to the first one. I feel like the writing is better/easier, however that might be the aftereffect of me reading TEOTW earlier this year💀 loved TEOTW but the writing was certainly something. Both were german translations.
I am currently reading a collection of Chekhov’s short stories. I was prompted by Francine Prose’ book, “Reading Like a Writer”, the best guide for readers who want to enjoy reading more. I’ve read a few books on writing, and one on Reading: “How To Read A Book” by Mortimer J. Adler. Adler’s book is a didactic approach to the “ canon” of the 1950’s - mostly white male writers. Francine Prose shows how to read words, sentences, paragraphs, narration, character, etc., in any book from any era. It’s been a revelation.
Kerry RichardsonHide and Seek: "Sanity is a fragile mirror; break it, and the pieces will cut you deep." (Short Story CollectionFree to download on Amazon!
Emily Harper moves into a new home on Monmouth Street, hoping for a fresh start. But when she finds an old videotape that seems to show her movements in real-time, her mental state starts to crumble.
Tormented by childhood trauma, Emily struggles to distinguish between reality and delusion.
And who is that man in the yellow raincoat...

That was the first book of his I've read. I really enjoyed it!
Tonight I'm starting The Mob and the City: The Hidden History of How the Mafia Captured New York by C. Alexander Hortis
I finished Quando lottano gli dei (Urania), an intriguing novel, a mix between fantasy and sci fi.Today I started A Closed and Common Orbit. I read the first book in the series years ago, now I discovered this one. I'm curious to see what it's like.
Just finished Needful Thing’s. Not impressed. When king gets stuck he always throws in an explosion. The Stand, Under the Dome, Needful Things etc. I find it repetitive now
Working my way thru Ryan Casey’s “Survive the Darkness” series… currently on book 3. It’s interesting because it takes place in England rather than the usual USA, saved by the big, resourceful, brave Marine, that most of the apocalyptic type books follow.
I'm reading the eighth book of The Wheel of Time. the path of daggers. if anyone wants to talk about it, just dm me. loving the book, but I heard that the next 3 are a slog.
I’m reading quite a few books,Meddling kids by Edgar cantero, the moon is a harsh mistress Robert Heinlein, demon copperhead by Barbara kingsolver, a crane among wolves by June hur, stranger things book #2of the series a darkness on the edge of town I believe it’s titled and fir some reason I just started reading the wager: A tale of shipwreck, mutiny and murder by David grann I’ve own this book for a year now and have always meant to read especially when I read killers of the flower moon 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩which was fantastic!!! Emphasis on fan lol. Happy reading to all and to all a good read 📚📖☕️.
