I’m reading Reaper by Will Wight. It’s the 10th out of 12.

Just started with Fairy Tail by Stephen King. It is such a great feeling to read again.

Currently reading the Chronicles of St Mary’s series. I’m on book 10, which is the last one that I own, but I’ve really enjoyed the series so will definitely pick up the rest at some point.

It’s a series about historians who time travel to document historical events, so there’s an accurate telling of the story rather than things being disputed. It often ends up going wrong though. It’s rather light-hearted (apart from book 8 where everything goes a bit serious), and the humour is great. Similar humour to Terry Pratchett’s books, I would say, though I haven’t read loads of his work.

I took a break (almost a week now) after reading Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon. Before that, it was her The Bluest Eye. Thinking of reading The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin

I finished started the cradle series about 2 months ago and finished the first 11 just as the 12th one came out. I find it so easy to read but it kinda made getting into something a bit more serious kinda hard lol. I really liked it tho and I think the ending was well executed.

I’m currently on a reread of red rising for the upcoming release of The 6th book. On book 2 at the moment and definitely quite enjoying it again. Would recommend checking the series out if you like sci-fi/fantasy

I’m currently reading two three books in a snail speed.

Gerald’s Game - Stephen King, I get in to the book with the knowledge that I might not like the book, mainly because I get bored really quicky if majority of the plot happens psychologically. And it does feels like it’s that type of book. However, what I’m not prepared was the subplot of

hidden or nsfw stuff

childhood sexual assault of the protagonist.

It makes a really hard read. Currently only reads on short sprints.

The Citadel - A J Cronin, didn’t realized the book was published in 1930s … and it shows.

Don Quixote - Miguel de Cervantes (trans. Tobias Smollett), reading this reminded me how boring I had become. It should be by all account, a very funny book, but though there are humorous situations, I hardly laughed. Again, reading in a snails pace.
