I just got Gemina and Obsidio by Jay Kristoff and Amir Kaufman. Just finished gemina and am starting Obsidio

[Dara]

i just picked up some "summer" books: "Summer Hours at the Robber's Library" by Sue Halpern; "Delicious" by Ruth Riechl; and "Sourdough" by Robin Sloane. A good change of pace from reading heavier things the rest of the year!

[Lois]

I bought "Akata Witch" by Nnedi Okorafor; and, I borrowed "The Way of Kings" by Brandon Sanderson from a library. I'll probably read Sanderson first because it's longer.

[Kirsty]

Just finished "A light between oceans" by M L Stedman and it was a lovely, well written, emotional story of how one decision, which you believe is right, can affect people. Knowing that you can't change the past and how it then affects you yourself for the rest of your life ! 🤔

I've been told Akata Witch is good, and it is on my to-read-list, you should let us know what you think once you've read it. :)

[Rebekah]

I've been reading a couple books at a time:
I'm on High Five (Stephanie Plum #5) by Janet Evanovich. I absolutely love this hilarious series since I work in Law Enforcement Administration.

I'm currently reading Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell by David Michaels, which I always wanted to read. So far so good!

I'm also on the 2cd book of the Austin Kirk NUMA series by Clive Cussler. I never read any Cussler books, but started NUMA. It's an interesting read.

[John]

I recently purchased A Place for Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza, which is the inaugural novel from the Sarah Jessica Parker (SJP) imprint. I guess the imprint with the actress's initials indicates a recommendation. I didn't purchase it for her name; this was happenstance. I simply liked the blurb on the inside book jacket flap.

I recently bought 8 of the Sookie Stackhouse books, among others. I'm super excited to start them in a few books!!

[Josephine]

I recently bought Boom! Box Mixtape at Barnes and Noble. It’s a collection of web comics and some pieces of graphic novels. I’m really excited to read it. :D :D :D

[Yomna]

i recently got mutual feeling , losing hope,hopeless , still me

[Jorge]

You'll be able to see the last couple of books I've read on my page, but the one that stuck was The Corporation by TJ English. Mostly because it is about a Cuban mafioso and the underground world of what was known as "La Corporacion", which happens to be the backdrop for my novel Papi's Lover.

[Sadie]

I recently read Lies That Bind Us and True Fiction - both kept me guessing and really fun to read.

[Samantha]

I recently picked up my own copies of Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein and Lady Susan by Jane Austen, I've read them both before but was in desperate need to own them both!

[[deleted user]]

My local library has a room with donated books for sale. Yesterday I got, The Kite Runner, Incantations, and The Woman in Cabin 10.

I've read the first 3 of Sookie Stackhouse! One of my favourite fantasy series ever! Even if my iMac keeps trying to autocorrect Sookie Stackhouse to Cookie Steakhouse hahaha... The only reason I haven't read the rest is because I don't have them on my shelves :(. I hope you enjoy.

That sounds really good! I really want to up my game with graphic novels, this sounds like a good novel to start with!

They're on my TBR! I hope they're as good as the hype.

[Ethan]

Ohhh boy, well I just spent almost $70 at Barnes and Noble today. Totally worth it though. I got Devil in the White City, A History of the World in 6 Glasses, and 4 books from their classics section including the good old Communist Manifesto. It's gonna be a fun time.

[Mona]

I just finished Caraval and Legendary! I'm at a loss and now have to wait for the third book to come out next year :(.

For now, I'm trying to finish WinterSong so I can start the second one.

[Daphne]

I recently bought The Littlest Death by Eric Witchey, The Poisonwood Bible by Kingsolver and The Children Act by Ian McEwan. I'm starting on the Littlest Death first.

[[deleted user]]

I’m currently into Annihilation and I’m really liking it so far. For my book club, I just recently finished reading Something in the Water by Catherine Steadman, though I do NOT recommend that book.
Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton was phenomenal! And on my up next to read is probably Crazy Rich Asians.

[Booklover101]

I just finished the Iron Trial

[Bookworm]

I just bought , I'm going to be reading it with my niece!

[[deleted user]]

I finished 'Small great things' by Jodi Picoult last night. This was a very emotional book, so im looking forward to a lighter read with 'This could change everything' by Jill Mansell 😊

[Josephine]

I just ordered “Aru Shah and the End of Time” by Roshani Chokshi and I’m legitimately SO excited for it to arrive. I am a little more than enthusiastic to read it!!!

[Kristy]

Reading The Art of Preserving Love by Ada Langton then moving on to Brandon Sanderson's Oathbringer!

I'm finally getting around to putting a hold with my library to start Mistborn. My friend has read the series and actually cosplayed of the main character.

Will do!

[Rissi]

I recently found an old B&N gift card that still has $20 on it (score! Not sure how much that'll get me, probably 2-3 books at most... so expensive. I need a Kindle.) so I'm definitely planning on getting Carry On by Rainbow Rowell today. Been looking forward to this one for a while~

Currently bought and am reading The Hating Game by Sally Thorne.

[Christina]

Just finished Dark Matter by Blake Crouch and it knocked my socks off! It was a serious heart pounding page turner!

[Tucker]

I just got an ARC of Give Me Your Hand by Megan Abbott

I have the Hating Game. I just haven't gotten to reading it yet. Let me know how it is.

[Andrea]

Just got The Darkest Minds series. I'm on book 2. So good. Movie coming out in August. Not sure how bad they will destroy it.

I started Darkest Minds #1. I didnt finish cause i thought it was kinda boring.

[Yamin]

I snatched two from the bookstore today because of a great discount sale. Agatha Christie's Murder in Mesopotamia and Jessie Burton's The Muse. The latter had mixed reviews but since Burton only has two novels published so far, why not read both? The Miniaturist was enjoyable.

[Sadaf]

yesterday i bought A Moveable Feast which is a memoir by Earnest Hemingway about the years he spend in Paris. I also bought A Thousand Splendid Suns , another book by the author of The Kite Runner . I'm really looking forward to them.

[Phrodrick slowed his growing backlog]

Many, Many too many years ago I took a do not read attitude toward Norman Mailer

So I am just now getting to The Naked and the Dead
This does not just read like a book. This Capital 'L" Literature.

I devoured the first book. Kinda slow reading the second but a friend of mine is reading them with me and she said the second one is better than the first.

Ok. I will push through then. the only reason i wanna read the books is because i wanna see the movie (which comes out on my birthday.)

[MoodyReader2.0]

I recently read I'll Give You the Sun, and really loved it!
Just got Holding Up The Universe to read next (hope its good😊)

I've been a bit obsessed with political books this year. Our current political atmosphere has reawakened an old interest in American history. This past week I read "First in Line: Presidents, Vice Presidents, and the Pursuit of Power" by Kate Andersen Brower (Excellent, non partisan read). I have "The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels" by Jon Meacham on my TBR stack. I've been interspersing them with lighter fair by Debra Webb and Harlan Coben. Today I purchased Sophie Kinsella's "Can You Keep a Secret" (Kindle Daily deal $1.99!) and am about to start reading it. Happy reading, everyone!

[Heather]

I went to the library on Friday night and have started Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore. I'm only on page 42 and two mysteries have unfolded!
