What are you reading? What should I read next?
Mod
It was unique. Beautiful. Sad. And a solid 4/5 <3"
Oh! I was recommended that book. I was about to ask if you would care to share a review, but then I saw you already posted one! So excited to read it! :P
It's a different style of book than I've ever read. I liked it very much! It does drag at times - or I should say there's a lot of potentially unnecessary stuff in there - but it's written so beautifully you almost don't even notice :)
Mod
currently reading lore, and I would tell everyone to read the priory of the orange tree and dry
Priory is on my list! It's a long one though. Might tackle that over a solid 2-3 weeks.I am keen to read Lore! Let us know what you think :)
well it was a bit hard to get into it and if you don't know much about greek mythology it could be hard, also lore seems a bit like a "I'm not like other girls" but besides that it's pretty good so far (btw if you start reading priory you really have to go through the first 100 pages and then it really starts getting interesting)
Mod
Priory of the Orange Tree - I've read the summary and there's a lot of hype surrounding it. I've heard a few people discussing it!
well it's about different main characters who all have different lifes. they come from different kingdoms and different religions. somehow their lives are tied together but they have to solve problems and hurdles to save the world from a creature that was locked away for 1000 years. I hope this helps but it's really a great book, especially if you like something with dragons involved
Sure does :) yeah such a long book might take a while to get past the introductory stuff :)I know a little greek mythology but not a great deal.
yeah even if you'd know nothing you could search it up but I heard that some people stopped reading because of that
Mod
Oh! That does help- I'm hooked! Thanks!
Mod
I know a little greek mythology but not a great deal."
Hm...that's true.
Honestly, I used to be all about Greek mythology, but recently I'm getting rusty XD
Mod
That's sad- to stop reading a good book just because of the long intro. I get it, though- it's hard to keep reading when the beginning isn't the best.
Mod
War and Peace is interesting and filled with information
Mod
Fantasy/Romance ACOTAR is my go to!Fantasy - Poison Study!
SciFi - maybe Inside Out? It's a good read :) Dystopian YA
flowers for algernon! flowers for algernon! flowers for algernon! I had to chant, sorry. It's surprisingly sci-fi; not in the typical sense, but you'll understand after reading it. I finished it in two days... If Jason needs a good book, I suggest it wholeheartedly.

omg I LOVE flowers for Algernon, I read it years ago and I need to re read it it’s an amazing book
Currently I'm reading Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy. It's a nice book and interesting though I'm not into thick books. But fat books are having such good stories.........My previous book was The devotion of suspect X by Keigo Higashino. i loved it. I just completed 1 litre of tears by Aya kito, it had a warm feeling overall.

Thank you! Will share that!

Ooo OK! I'll add that to the list!
Mod
My previous book was The de..."
Leo Tolstoy is the author of War and Peace, right? Reed is currently reading War and Peace- talk about fat books! Both books must take forever to read. That's true, though- there's more time to develop the story and characters in a longer book.
I haven't heard of either of those! What genre are they?
All those big fat chunky reads of the classics is kind of intimidating!I'll try to climb that mountain one day. It's forever on the TBR pile.
Mod
Just finished The Secret of Midwives by Sally Hepworth. Sooo good. Onto The Good Sister by Hepworth as well.
Mod
Mod
Cool! What are they about? What genre are they?
I started the free audible book today. I know it's going to be a really beautiful story - its told from the POV of a 14 year old homeless boy and the intro was heartbreaking - started with a suicide attempt. It had a scene after that that made my skin crawl and I felt physically sick.I've got a pretty good idea on where this is going - and I know it's going to be heartwarming - but I'm really hesitant because I don't want any more of the horrible sick feeling type scenes. It was very confronting and written in the childs POV - as an adult it's like I'm standing by watching this actually happening to a young person and it is awful.
Mod
Aww. Reminds me of The Midnight Library. Realllly sad and heavy.
Yeah. It was a little less heavy than Midnight Library because it's told by a 14 year old and as the story unfolds you sort of find out his motivations for doing it - and he's so innocent. Still weighty like the library though. I'm waiting for the heartwarming bits but they aren't quite there yet! D:In the opening scene he wants to jump off a bridge late at night but he sees someone walking toward him. It's an old man. Until he realizes the old man is also on the OUTSIDE of the bridge too, for the same reason. He goes to fall -- the old man grabs him and the panic sets in and he suddenly doesn't want to fall. It really hits you in the feels.
**Sorry for any depressing vibes -- the story is supposed to be heartwarming later on (I think) but this is just a glimpse into the very very very beginning - like first chapter.

It’s about a young boy named Peekay who is nursed and raised by a black nurse and mom and he wants to be a welterweight champion and then he goes to a new school in Johannesburg
Mod
Not at that part of the book yet oh it definitely is I can’t put the book down when I need to sleep
Mod
I don’t know I was at the bookstore with my mom searching for new books to read and I came across it and said “this looks interesting I’ll read this next before I read something new.”
Mod
Mystery, romance, fantasy, fiction non fiction but, I like reading different books of these genres
Mod
Yes I have ever since I graduated from High School

Actually, it was Throne of Glass. I was rereading it for the second time, and at the middle/end, I just ate it up.
