[Rhian]

I always avoided The shining because I had always watched the film but I did finally read it a few years ago and I did enjoy it but I didn't love it, I hope you enjoy the teacher

[Emilee]

Rhian, Have you read Doctor Sleep by Stephen King? its the sequel to the shining and i strongly recommend it :)

[Rhian]

Yes I actually preferred Doctor sleep

[Kenneth]

I'm currently reading The Dead Zone. I don't know why, but I was somewhat skeptical about this book so I put it off for a while. I don't know why I doubted the man. This book is great!

I think the Dead Zone is King's most underrated book. For some reason, it doesn't get the love that many of his other tales do and it's really too bad. It's a great story that I've re-read a couple of times and recommend it often.

It is a very, very good book and even though it takes place decades ago, it's weirdly topical right now.

[Rebecca]

I'm reading Man in the High Castle by Philip K Dick at the moment. It's taking a while...

[Gavin]

I'm reading Spice and Wolf, Vol. 17

[Tee]

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer.

Not so weirdly.

[Deyth]

I am now reading The Surgeon (Rizzoli & Isles #1)
by Tess Gerritsen... I can't say that it's bad or perfect but 4 out of 5 stars so far I can give!

There is a series on Amazon based on this book. It's one of the few times that I like the adaptation better. Dick lends himself so well to visual adaptations.

One of my favorites! Kandice is right about the adaptation on Amazon. That is a must see. I can't wait for season two.

[Nancy]

I am reading Ink and Bone.

[Andrew✌️]

I've finished Danse Macabre, a short but well written story.
Now I'm reading Preacher, Volume 5: Dixie Fried, continuing with this incredible story.

[Kandice]

Nancy wrote: "I am reading Ink and Bone."

I really enjoyed that, but read it not realizing it was part of a series. I haven't yet, but I liked it well enough I may seek out the other installments.

Wait! Danse Macabre is 512 pages. That's not short! ;-)

It's not the same. Look the page, is another author.

Emancipation Day by Wayne Grady

[Gavin]

I'm reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

[Nicole]

Reading Doctor Sleep for the first time. A little over halfway through and loving it!

[Aditya]

Finished The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler. A brilliant book, it's easily the best written book in a series of exceptionally written books. Chandler had written better mysteries in The Big Sleep, The Little Sister but this is so much more than that. Recommended to everyone with good taste in books. Rating - 5/5.

[Rhian]

I loved my re-read of secret window secret garden, I've started The girl with all the gifts by M.R Carey I was unsure at first but I got to the 100 page point so I will continue

[Nick]

I'm half way through my first re-read of THE SHINING. I'm feeling more and more that this is King's masterpiece, and it's really two books: 1) the action thriller that Kubrick translated to the screen without losing any of its sheer horror, and 2) the internal monologues, thoughts, and remembrances that show that King made good on his promise to draw Jack Torrance as a guy we can cheer and hope for even as he's going mad. The writing is off the charts brilliant.

I'm thinking that I'd like to see the movie of secret window. Not sure how it was reviewed but it seems like it should be well done.

[Rhian]

I've been thinking about the film as well Nick it was on tv here a couple of years ago so we may get a repeat

I didn't know it was part of a series but as I was reading it I thought it seemed like it could be a set up for a series like the Odd Thomas books.

Ugh, I enjoyed the book (more so near the end) but not enough to read more books.

[Nancy]

I am reading The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry.

[Andrew✌️]

I finished Preacher, Volume 5: Dixie Fried, always an incredible story.
Now I'm reading Career of Evil. I like this series and this books looks good, even if I am still at the beginning.

I liked both those. Preacher is so, so good. Even upon reread. Did you watch the first season of the show?

[Tee]

State of Wonder by Ann Patchett

[Eugenio]

Reading "Night of Knives" by Ian C. Esslemont, in a group read over in The Malazan Fallen forums.

Is it the one with Johnny Depp, in that case it was dull and bland IMO. There are many better psychological thrillers around.

[Rhian]

Yes I was thinking of the Johnny Depp film I don't think I've ever watched it all if I have I can't remember it

[Aditya]

Finished The Assistant Murderer by Dashiell Hammett. A nice little novella that should please genre fans, a good introduction for me to a master of the genre Hammett but I hope the full length novels pack a bigger punch. Rating 4/5.

And my full review for The Long Goodbye - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
As usual only write full reviews for books about which I truly have something to say.

I like Preacher, I am more or less halfway. I didn't see the series, but I hope to do soon. Career of Evil is a nice book, an evolution of the previous, also for the structure of the book.

[Nancy]

I started A Clockwork Orange today. I read the first part so far and I like it so far.

[[deleted user]]

I was reading 11/22/63 but my digital library ran out so I have to wait for it to get renewed. I believe I was on page 263 when I stopped. So far, it's really good. I want to see the Hulu series but my app isn't working on my PS4, so I'll probably just buy it.

Nancy wrote: "Erin wrote: ""

Still early in to it but I like it so far.

Bird Box by Josh Malerman.

Hi Rhian! I can see how you could read this in a day. It is addicting, and so far, I'm really enjoying it. I can tell this is going to be a bleak novel. Thank you! :)

That's a good one. I hope you are enjoying it.

One of these days I will get to Crichton. You seem to be going through time at a good pace with other books inbetween.

[Nicole]

I finished Doctor Sleep and it was excellent. I would definitely be very interested in a Shining #3.

Now I'm getting back to reading Unwind by Neal Shusterman. Its book 1/4 of the Unwind Dystology that my friend recommended me. Its a YA dystopia, and though it is definitely YA, the character development is amazing so far and the characters are very interesting. It's hard to put down.
