Still reading The Twelve by Justin Cronin. Book 2 of The Passage trilogy. Enjoying it enough to not give up, but not enjoying it enough it enough to read it quickly, so it’s going slowly. Going to try to speed up and finish it quickly.
What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening to lately?
A regular reminder about our Book Bingo, and it’s Recommendation Post . Links are also present in our community sidebar.
Candle & Crow, book 3 in the Ink & Sigil series by Kevin Hearne came out today, I’m looking forward to getting into it. It’s set in the same world as the Iron Druid Chronicles, but isn’t really related outside of a couple of old characters popping up IIRC. I don’t think I even knew about this until I saw it on a list of upcoming releases last week.
I’m also reading through Swifts and Us by Sarah Gibson, which is a book my gf got for me last Christmas and only just got around to handing over 9 months later. It’s a non-fiction book about my favourite bird, nothing to do with pop singers.
Dracula by Bram Stoker. Never read it before. I did see the 1992 movie adaptation, but that was a long time ago.
I signed up a few years ago for Dracula Daily and it sends you (via email) the appropriately dated entries each* day. I read through it each year now.
I started reading “The Evening and the Morning” by Ken Follett yesterday and I’m already halfway through. It’s a prequel to “The Pillars of the Earth.”
I have heard a lot about The Pillars of the Earth, should get around to it some day.
I finished the prequel the day after I started it. Now I’m about halfway through The Pillars of the Earth and I’m thoroughly enjoying it even though I generally don’t care for historical fiction.
I finished Ball Lightning, by Cixin Liu. Enjoyed it but since I read the Three Body problem trilogy just before, my expectations were too high, because this one is less thrilling.
I started and read one third of Accelerando by Charles Stross but I stopped there because I was lost and not appreciating that much. Might reread it when I have more time, I think the issue is that the story is kind of difficult to follow and since I had to split in short and time apart reading sessions, I was not able to follow it.
Now, I started The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, not very long into it but I think it will please me.
I’m just finished This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone and am working through We Have Always Lived In The Castle by Shirley Jackson
Time War was a book that I had tried to read multiple times in the past and could never get through finishing it even though I enjoyed it I would just peter out in reading. They both fill a couple of Bingo squares for me so I may shift them around in the future but for right now, they fulfill “family drama” and “it takes two”
