I started Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov . It’s quite.....uncomfortable. But it’s a classic, so I’m trying to read it through.

[Kristine]

Melissa, I have that as a TBR. Reading it this week. I just finished A Clockwork Orange and felt the same. I liked the ideas and creativity of the book, but reading it was really hard. Some books just don’t work for everyone, classic or not.

[Ana]

I am currently reading The Hobbit; it's it was recommended to me, but I am struggling to follow it and stay with the story plot. All classic books seem to have this effect.

[Kelly]

I'm currently reading Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

[Amy]

Such a Fun Age and I am loving it!

[Catherine]

TOO LATE by Colleen Hoover.
Not her usual semi-sweet romance. A main character is a super hard core bad guy!

[Julie]

Just read "No Happy Endings" by Nora McInerny, loved it! Currently reading "Know My Name" by Chanel Miller.

[Christine]

I’m reading a book called A Woman Alone by Nina Laurin

[Liz]

The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E. Schwab - great nook. Listened to it as an audible and it was done really well!

[Judy]

I can't wait to read that!

I read From Baghdad, With Love when it first came out. A wonderful written book and full of love. Every dog lover needs to read that book!!!

Excellent book and made me laugh out loud!!!

[Melissa]

Hey Kristen! I agree....it’s hard when an author writes about really uncomfortable and taboo subject matter and you’re trying to subjectively read the novel for its merits. I’m having a hard time finding why Lolita is such a well loved classic when the topic is so outrageous. But I can see how the writing style is valued. It is amazing. So I guess I’ll chalk it up as one of the classics read list and move on!

[Judy]

I’ve just started The Paper Bracelet by Rachael English

[Ellen]

Reading Educated by Tara Webster, fascinating!

[Kym]

The Second Sleep by Robert Harris

[Khadija]

I'm reading Tony Robbins book: Awaken the Giant within

[Christine]

I’m reading a book called Say You're Sorry by Karen Rose

[Katie]

Just finished the Library Book by Susan Orlean, I thought it was really enjoyable. Now I'm focusing on Ain't She a Peach by Molly Harper as a nice easy read.

[Kristine]

The Moment of Lift by Melinda Gates. Incredible book. So positive and empowering for all people.

Katie, The Library Book.... so unexpected. I too enjoyed it.

[Omy]

I’m reading One Day in December

[Briana]

The Brutal Telling. The 5th book in the Louise Penny Inspector Gamache series.

[Ana]

Does anyone have any suggestions for a book? I just finished The Hobbit, and I am looking for something not so classical.

[skketch]

Ana, what genre do you gravitate to?

[Ana]

Honestly, I'll read anything.

[skketch]

Ana how about a modern day Agatha Christie? The Guest List by Lucy Foley
or a quirky character like Don Tillman from The Rosie Project
or if you haven't discovered it yet... Where the Crawdads Sing

[Ana]

Where the Crawdads Sing is a great book. I read it about five times already 😄. What is The Guest List about?

It's a cool mystery with some great twists and some unexpected outcomes.

Thank you so much! This book sounds really good and I can't wait to read it.

Just started reading Midnight Sun

[skketch]

I'm still plugging away on Daughters of the Night Sky. Meh!

[Laura]

Still reading Pet Semetary. I am loving it and I am enjoying listening to Inspection by Josh Malerman

[Judy]

Just started The American Breeder by Patrice Thomas. Reading that instead of White Ivy for now.

[Tracy]

The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes. I've had it sitting in my Audible library for ages and thought I'd check it off the list. Was in the mood for a Diane Chamberlain.

[Astrid]

[Bailey]

Such a Fun Age, Dear Martin, and All the Lives I Want

[The Ravishing]

@Judy

I own The Paper Bracelet. let me know how you enjoy it.

[The Ravishing]

@skketch

I loved The Daughters of the Night Sky. I have it a 5 star review. I read some of it but I mostly listened and I connected with it.

What are you struggling with? Are you listening to it or reading it?

[Beth]

Really? At Your Age?: A Better Late Romance

Having a lot of fun with this member of the Better Late Romance collection. I love romance stories with people who have lived and are still ready for more.

[Sherri]

I just finished When We Believed in Mermaids by Barbara O'Neal. I loved this book about 2 sisters that survived being raised by neglectful parents, tragedy and sibling jealousy. So beautifully written. I was sad when it ended.

Jasmine, so far I'm loving it! I love the way the author writes. Each chapter is about a different character!
Thanks for asking!

I also liked this book for the same reasons!

That's why there are so many books and so many different genres out there because some books will resonate with some and not so much with others. This one was one of those for me. It just wasn't what I wanted from the subject matter. I expected more tension, more substance, more depth. So for me, that's why this one didn't work so much for me. But, it was interesting from the standpoint that I never knew about an all-female regiment in a flying corps. That in itself was very cool!

[JMW]

Re-reading The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

[skketch]

Just started reading Far from Reality by Paul Stout

Listening to When No One is Watching by Alyssa Cole

[The Ravishing]

Judy, I think we have a similar taste in books. I also own "When We Believed in Mermaids" I haven't made my way to reading it yet but soon :-)

[The Ravishing]

and yes Sketch, that is the best of books and reading, so many genres and different types of books and with everyone coming from a different background, books and genres resonate with people differently, some we love together, others we agree to disagree but it's all about mutual respect for each other and our mutual love of books and reading. I love it. I hope you enjoy your next book more ;-)
