What Are You Reading Right Now Part 2
Oh man, it feels like ages since I was last on here. I'm sure it's only been a few days though. 😉 I was on a family trip and there was no time for much social media. But I did have a nice time with all the extended family.
Before I left on my trip, I finished
,
on audio, and started
on audio during the car ride. I didn't think the grandkids were listening but when we got to the hotel, I had two out of three ask me questions about it, and tell me they listened and were enjoying it. 😆
I finished reading
at the hotel and started
on audio today. Yes, I'm apparently binge re-reading The Dragonriders of Pern books... for the gazillionth time. I can't seem to help myself.

Yes I did! I just can't believe how much Leigh Bardugo has grown as a writer. The difference between Shadow & Bone and Crooked Kingdom is astounding!
I was also extremely happy that Strumhound (Nikolai) played a part in this one. He was my favorite character from Shadow & Bone :)

So true! Even bestselling authors have room for improvement and it's great to see when they do. Couldn't agree more :)
I'm still working on my beta read, almost finished. Then I will start the sequel to Brilliance I think, although my Kindle is fully loaded right now ;)

I also got Republic of Stone by Tanja Radman from Amazon while it's free on Kindle. So if you want to know more about the town where they filmed scenes in King's Landing wrapped up into fantasy, go ahead and check it out!

I've read Anna, it was a relatively enjoyable read although way outside of my normal genre :) Glad you liked it!

Agree completely on Anna! I really loved it, but yes, definitely very YA cliche romance :)

I do need to get to this one sometime, its blowing up all over BookTube. The one book everyone seems to agree is fantastic!

I started
and I'm loving it so far! Very romance heavy in the beginning, but now we are getting to some fantastic world building and some awesome new characters.

So Tome Topple is officially over! I read over 2,400 pages, which is okay. I finished 4 tomes
and started 3 more
I did a video on the readathon, the first half if my vlog as I go along, the second part is the wrap up portion.

Well done, Jenny!! Huge books!! :-D

Wow Jenny. Looks like you had a good one.

I finished Caraval and I enjoyed it. I've seen many mixed reviews on it but it was good enough. The ending threw me off but I hear there is another one after this one. That would be very satisfying if done correctly.


I added this to my TBR. Just finished

Thanks, I did :)

Glad you found something you liked! That's always so nice. :)


It's pitched as a collection of humorous stories, but what I didn't know is that they were subtle, dark humor stories (right up my alley. shh....don't tell anyone, but I know plenty of people with shovels and land to fill and garden beds to fertilize). ;)
Anyway, it was nothing to write home about, but it was a fun way to pass the afternoon--especially if you just need to unwind.

I finished my beta read and am almost halfway done with
. It's every bit as good as the first, maybe even better. Love this series!! It's tempting to read in bed every morning, but I am forcing myself up and to my laptop so I can continue writing the next book in The Fatemarked Epic. The series is selling so well that I don't want to keep anyone waiting too long for the next book :) :) :)

I totally agree David. It's a reread for me and I'm sure I will go back to it over and over.
I think I heard that Michael Grant is revisiting the Gone world and writing a sequel! Loved those books. A few of us buddy read them a few years ago. So fun!

Thank you! It has been awesome so far, hopefully the momentum continues, it's all the motivation I need to write the 5th book. *ducks back into writing cave*
