Hi, Chantalle! Welcome to the club!
It's so good to hear that you enjoyed your last read! Do you have any idea what you'll be reading next?
Hi Mia/everyone, thanks for adding me! I’m really into suspense/thrillers so I’m debating on reading Jar of hearts or My dark Vanessa or The perfect wife. Or the familiar dark lol lots to choose from. Have any of you read any of books? Any recommendations?
I think I know what the Perfect Wife is, and it seems super good! let me know how it is
Ok awesome I will for sure! I have read the girl before by the same author and that was an interesting read so I’m sure we won’t be disappointed :)

I haven't read much of that genre before!
It’s hard to take me away from it, I love sitting at the edge of my seat! I’m pretty good at guessing but wow do I ever get surprised. If you ever need a recommendation, let me know :)

I started Angels and Demons by Dan Brown (but it wasn't as good as the da vinci code! ugh!) and then read Love & Gelato and then Second Chance Summer. For some reason I've only been reading the past week even though it's the third week of shelter in place

currently reading “Love, Life and the List”, will read “I’ll give u the sun” next
@ MiaYes please please read the da Vinci code!!! I had to listen to it on audio bc I wasn’t sure I’d make it through otherwise (it was just rly long) and omg seriously great.
I’m gonna be completely real.
I’ve been reading a Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell over and over again.

I haven't seen the movie, but i've been wanting to. Also the book is so good so I highly recommend it.

I actually am considering purchasing it because of all the reviews on Goodreads and Youtube saying it's a really great book. I was just wondering if you would recommend it?
I finished Pride and Prejudice yesterday and OMG what have I been doing all my life! I LOVED it! I'm so glad I had the opportunity to read it! :D
I find it so amazing how you can relate to a story that was written 200 years ago. It was a real page turner and I was really into the story. I really recommend it to everybody but maybe not everyone is like me waiting for 25 years to read their classics lol

Since the quarantine begins I was like « ok now it’s your time to read all the books who are waiting for you », I read 8 books during April but now I just make a little pause 🤷🏻♀️
I usually prefer audiobooks because they allow me to be mobile while reading. Right now I am reading " the code of the extraordinarind ". I have quite a few interesting books in my buket list which I have also stored on my shelf. I'll be happy to talk to you about your journey through a book or your life.

@charlotte u go girlll I’ve been using it more of like let’s get out of this world and into a different one lolll
@grace thinking about reading how to be bad :) did u like it?
I’ve been quarantined for two moths and I had just finished the series of A court of thorns and roses. I have to say that it was absolutely amazing. And I’m about to start Clockwork Angel.
i was way late to the Harry Potter series, I started them a few months ago. i just finished POA and am about to start GOF. i also plan to reread the Hunger Games series because of the upcoming prequel!!
tbh i'm just picking up whatever from my bookshelves/pdf 'collection' that i made myself hyped about reading dkxksk so far it has been reread of córka czarownic (it's a book by polish author and the title translates to 'daughter of witches' i think) and now i'm going through collection of short stories by lucius shepard and after that i plan on reading dead poets society, legendary master's wife + reread stormlight archive, but sth may change, dunno yet
also i'm kind of reading chinese manhua called spiritpact (there's an ongoing weekly translation that's currently on 81st chapter, but of probably around like 300/400 by now), but can't really do much progress with that. it's really nice tho, i'm enjoying it quite a bit, if anyone was interested it's on wecomics <3
Right now I'm reading "Harry Potter y la pierda filosofal" <3
Thanks to NetGalley, I just finished The Night Swim by Megan Goldin. She also wrote The Escape Room but this is a much different kind of book. I am currently reading The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. If you like historical fiction, this is your book. Very detailed and interesting, but not a rapid page turner.
Im reading the game of thrones series. Can't wait for Winds of Winter!!!!!
