I am reading The Neighbor by Joseph Souza (this book will be realized on April 24th) I am loving it!! It is a psychological thriller so I would recommend it if you like mysteries.

One of the books I would recommend is The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair. Love love love that book :)

I'm currently listening to Pet Sematary by Stephen King and narrated by Michael C Hall (Dexter <3). I'm also reading The Last One by Alexandra Oliva The Last One - so far I'm very intrigued by the story.

I started reading To Kill a Kingdom, but I'm trying to finish the other books before I keep diving further into this one. To Kill a Kingdom

[Kelsey]

Stephen King 💚 I'm listening to Sleeping Beauties by Stephen king and Owen king now.

[Sarah. B]

I loved BLL! Can't wait to see what you think :-)
The HBO series is really entertaining as well

[Sarah]

I stated earlier that I started reading To Kill a Kingdom, however, I had to return it to my local library, and I'm currently on hold to borrow it again. I'm trying to not purchase any new books unless I absolutely feel necessary (I purchased Eleanor Oliphant because it was 100+ people on hold to borrow it).

Instead of waiting for the library to fulfill all my TBR I'm now going through books I already own. So after finishing The Last One and Pet Semetary, I'm now reading Scarlet (borrowed) and The Girl on the Train which I've owned for quite a while now, but I've put off on reading it.

I'm reading Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas and pretty much enjoying it so far. It took until halfway through to get interesting and now I want to know what happens. I'm also interested that it's a series. As much as I don't know if I have time for a series at the moment, it seems I may be drawn in! :P

In the past I have read The Hunger Games and the Divergent trilogy, but my only recent YA fantasy reads like this have been the first 3.5 books of The Lunar Chronicles. I'm impressed so far anyway. I know lots of people rave about Sarah J. Maas and I'm not disappointed yet!

[Isabel]

I finished recently I let you go by Clare Mackintosh! Wow what a rollercoaster I could not stop myself from reading

And now I am reading my first novel from Isabel Allende: The Island beneath the Sea

I also have make a promise to not buy any more books. At least until I finish all the books I own. Let's see how good I am to keep it...keep failing every year haha.

[Tanya, Founder & Moderator]

I'm currently reading This Is Going to Hurt: Secret Diaries of a Junior Doctor and it's actually a lot funnier and easier to read than I thought it would be! Really enjoying it!

I'm currently reading Dread Nation by Justina Ireland. I'm almost finished with Dead To The World by Charlaine Harris and I'm about to start Skeleton Crew by Stephen King.

[Karen]

I have started reading A Column of Fire by Ken Follett and so far so good. I've read quite a few of his books and do enjoy how he mixes history with fiction.

A little while ago I finished The President is Missing by Bill Clinton and James Patterson and it was just ok to me.

" I've never read a James Patterson book before, but that one caught my attention, I was curious to know what it was like!

[Tanya, Founder & Moderator]

I'm currently reading Letter to My Daughter by Maya Angelou and I've just started Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton, really enjoying them both! Has anybody else read them?

[Jemma]

I'm reading the classic Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte for the first time. As I expected with a classic novel, it has been slow to build the background and story, but now things are starting to get interesting!

[Tanya, Founder & Moderator]

Ooohh always wanted to read that!

[Tanya, Founder & Moderator]

I'm currently reading, The Rosie Result (which is going to give me a Huge book hangover! I've lived this series soooo much!) and Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance which is absolutely fascinating.

[Kelsey]

Just finishing up a series as well A Reaper at the Gates amazing audiobooks. Didn't expect to read past the first book, I flew through them.
Also starting A Game of Thrones audiobook, figure I will jump on that bandwagon since "Winter is coming!". Lol.

Tanya wrote: "Ohh, I don't think I've heard of either - are you enjoying them?"

Ehhhhhhhhhh, kinda not really. Getting Lucky for Christmas is basically a teen romance written by boomers and I tried getting into the House at the Edge of Night, but it was dense and boring.

[Tanya, Founder & Moderator]

Ugh hate it when that happens!

[Cait]

right??????
