I'm now reading The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson
I just finished reading The Winter People. Has anyone else read it? I absolutely devoured this book and would love to discuss. It was so perfectly creepy!

However, I'm always looking for recommendations (who knows why, there's hardly a shortage of books...!) so I'll try to give it a read some time.

Dracula is really good. There's only one thing I'd change about it but it isn't a deal breaker. Enjoy!
Just finished The house on cold hill by Peter James what a load of rubbish, product placement and advertising everywhere and a poor rip off of The Amityville horror, one to avoid

I think in general she is conflicted since she is in some ways like Zero. She did go there to find him so I could see her hearing his side whether she wants to or not. After all, she never even heard Amy's side.
Started The Alibi by Jamie Raven which I won on goodreads, then my other recent win turned up this morning The Follower by Koethi Zan I can't wait to read that one everyone tells me The never list is excellent
Finished Nick's Trip by George Pelecanos. It is essentially like reading a bad Dennis Lehane knockoff (I know Lehane came later) but I hope you get the idea. If you like genre fiction you would be entertained, otherwise give it a pass. Rating - 3/5.My brief review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finished Illuminae which, once I got into it, was a good page turner. I've just started Ready Player One which seems immediately great. Not only is it stuffed to the gills with game, TV and film knowledge but Mid-World also gets an honourable mention. YES!

and loved it as well. Everybody was right, just get through the first part and it is a great read.

I was so confused with all the characters in the 3rd book I didn't know who was working for who I think I left too big a gap after the second book, I've bought spiders web but haven't got around to reading it
I bought the fourth book but also haven't read it yet. Picked it up because I loved the original series. But I'm very hesitant about another author trying to pick up on Larsson's story and style. I'm worried it will somehow taint my enjoyment of the originals. Eventually I'll just have to dive in and see for myself. If you end up giving it a try I'd love to hear your impressions!
I keep forgetting I bought it I found it in a charity shop months ago, if I do read it I shall post here and let you know how it goes
Doctor Sleep. Been apprehensive about the sequel, but the King does not let his minions down. Sure it'll be great.
ALIVE. The story of the Andes survivors. A beautiful non-fiction telling about people breaking barriers to survive. Understanding dilemma but so hard to accept.
With the movie coming out, I decided to re-read The Dark Tower books. I'm reading The Wastelands now. I read these as they were published, so a long time ago. I'm able to understand more this time around. I was all of 21 when I read it the first time. The time travel aspect and different realities make sense this time.
I'm just getting into the dark tower (gunslinger) and I do enjoy the style it's written in. I wish everyone long days and pleasant evenings..,
Finished The Gunslinger last night and I'm 44 pages into The Drawing of the Three. The difference between the two books is like when The Wizard of Oz switches from black-and-white to color.
Some days ago I finished Planet of the Damned, a classical of the sciFi.Now, I'm reading Finders Keepers the second book of a trilogy by Stephen King and Brides of Dracula the second book of a trilogy about Dracula.
Both books are exciting!
Still too early in the story and setting it up. I did read this many, many years ago as a teen and it scared the crap out of me then. LOL
Currently reading: The Last Days by Adam Nevill, Fever Song by Karen Marie Moning and The Children's Hour by Douglas Clegg

Duma Key. I struggle to recall the plot or story, but WIREMAN!! I can remember almost every single line of his dialogue. Best secondary character ever!!
I have been on a big Ania Ahlborn kick lately. Right now I'm listening to her The Devil Crept In and reading her book Brother. I've enjoyed everything I've read by her so far. If you all haven't checked her out I recommend her. She is a huge King fan.
