I'm reading To Be Where You Are by Jan Karon right now and totally loving it! Her gentle stories about small town life in Mitford are just so comforting and heartwarming! You really come to care for the characters and feel as if you know them personally!Also reading The House of Unexpected Sisters by Alexander McCall Smith. This series is somewhat similar, even though it takes place in far-off Botswana. Characters with moral fiber and family values make you feel as though you're visiting with old friends!
Since I participate in Popsugar reading challenge, right now I'm reading book for the "Nordic Noir" theme. I'm reading The Snowman by Jo Nesbø. Have anybody read this book? If you like mystery/thriller, you probably will love this book.

I have not heard of it. It looks interesting I may have to check it out. Thanks!

I love love love this series!
Also, trying out a new author that was recommended to me. This book is free, and so are a few 1st books in series by this author.

But I have no intention of doing the prompts in order, so right now I am reading The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley (forgot which prompt it’s for though!). I am only 10% in, but loving it already.
I’m also reading Renegades by Marissa Meyer. I think it’s got every cliche in the superhero genre, but I also think superheroes are the one subject that can get away with it. It’s pretty fun.
Whew..its been a while since I've posted on this thread! finished a couple great books over the last few weeks/months:
audio version-loved it! 4 stars!
4 stars! I never knew Maya banks wrote historical romance books, plan on reading the rest she has to offer!
Great Mafia Romance! 5 stars!Currently reading:

I just finished reading Through the Woods by Emily Carroll! I loved it. I think I'm going to have to buy a physical copy of it. I love the illustrations.
I just started The Bane Chronicles and read the first two short stories. Not really loving it yet...
Reading a random juvenile book:Switched
Cute and harmless so far. Safe enough to read to baby vampires.

PS: Book was pretty good (and harmless). I think it will be 4+ stars for most middle school readers, whether they are vampires or bunnies*
*read the book, I'm not giving spoilers :p
The Book of Secrets, so far this book is cute. I am curious to see what this library is all about. "Abernathy’s Bookstore, it’s the world’s only living oracle producing prophecies to help fight the war against alien invaders bent on draining this world of its magic."
Read
5 stars. I loved it!
Reading ebook
A freebie.
Not enjoying this all that much. Will probably be a 2 star.
Reading physical book
This one is pretty good. Written with the tone of mystery detective instead of urban fantasy. A 3 or 4 star read. We'll see!
Hi guys, I’m jade, I’m reading IT by Stephen King, and I just ordered the second, third and mini stories from the delirium series yesterday, so I’m excited to read those!
and
, I have recently started these books because I love scary and creepy and horror as well as many other books. These books have great covers and so I thought lets give them a chance. Both authors are new to me, so I hope they are great books!
Currently reading Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch by Pratchett & Gaiman, and The Legacy of Old Gran Parks by Blackthorn.And I'm super excited cuz I ordered The Color of Magic Discworld #1 by Pratchett. I've heard such good things!!
So, I've been reading Call of Cthulu. I know a lot about Lovecraftian horror, but never actually read the book. It's not an easy read, but the book is intriguing. Not sure I'd recommend though. It's definitely a read that you do for the bragging rights ha.
Sarah & Aly: I am a huge Jo Nesbo fan and "The Snowman" is one of my favorite books. Right now I am re-reading Stephen King's "'salem's Lot" and afterwards plan to track down a copy of "The Tommyknockers." I started this book long ago, becoming thoroughly engrossed in my roommate's copy, then she moved out and I was devastated -- not because she left but because she took the book when I was in the middle of reading it!😂

I love thrillers and scary books! You have great books you are reading or will start reading soon!

I’m reading IT right now and damn it is taking me soooo long! It is such a huge story and so many things are happening at the same time... I want to read the second and the third book of the Mrs. Peregrines home for peculiar children after this since I LOVED the first book so much!!
I´m soon done reading a Swedish book, a biography. About a girl who´s living with social phobia, autism and selective mutism. The author has released the book by herself. The last thing I think is kind of interesting, because I´m soon gonna release my own first novel! Then I thought of beginning to read S. Kings serie of "The black tower".
I bought the Mrs. Peregrine's book after walking past it in a bookstore and being thoroughly arrested by the title and cover photo. Was excited when I saw the first trailer about the movie but it didn't come out with a "bang" where I live, & have since seen pretty bad reviews (of the movie). I loved how the author was inspired to write the book, though, ending up a collector of odd antique photographs.
Emma, can you tell me the name of the book? I have researched and educated people about selective mutism but honestly haven't come across much that is interesting to read; some reinforce the fallacy that a shock or traumatic event or some kind of weird abuse causes the disorder (like PTS syndrome), which is usually not the case.

In English it means "About a freak". The author is Pauline Wågström. :) She wrote about herself, how she made it through school and so on.
I am currently reading Armada by Ernest Cline the one who did ready player one. I like it, it has so many throwbacks to the 80's which I love. Armada
I am currently reading It by Stephen King, it is such a great read i cant wait to read more of his work.
I’m reading The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu. The first part is really historical science fiction but part two (about 25% into the book) the pace begins to pick up and gets really interesting. Im enjoying it a lot and can’t wait to see where it goes next.
I just finished Animal Farm by George Orwell. My next book will be Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
I'm reading:The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle(for the second time)
Mail Order Mama by Kirsten Osbourne
The Immortal Circus by A. R. Kahler
I finished the Green Ember series by S. D. Smith and wanting more.
I've just finished reading A.J.Finn's The Woman in the Window. It's a great page turner, definitely one to get engrossed in, if a little slow in the beginning, I enjoyed it. I believe from things I've read it has similarities to The Girl on the Train, but I haven't read that one. Currently deciding what my next read will be.
