Bought couple of books for my young one, and just read through them.

  • Read Race to the Rescue By Zanib Mian, book 2 of her “Meet the Maliks - Twin Detective”. It’s kinda like The Wimpy Kid, but about twin Muslim kids and their family.
  • Read The Stonekeeper by Kazu Kibuishi. Book 1 of Amulet series. A 9 book series of graphic novels for kids.

What about all of you? What have you been reading or listening lately?

And how many of you are taking part in our Books Bingo? Any progress yet?

Just finished The gathering, by C.J. Tudor. Really loved it, through a vampire fantasy novel, she achieved to approach very actual and important topics like euthanasia, genocide, fear of difference, tolerance and so on. One of her best novel in my opinion.

Restarted on my Tolkien cycle with The hobbit (of course a reread in English - read the French translation about 25 years ago).

Just finished the final compendium of Invincible! Emotional journey through that series.

Currently reading “I, Robot” and “A Paradise of Small Houses” for two separate bookclubs.

I am 10% into Lonesome Dove. Many people swear by it and to me has East of Eden vibes. I find the story a little slow but then there were a couple of scenes (all of which involved pigs) that made me laugh out loud. So far - worth it.

Look to Windward by Iain M. Banks. Space opera at its best.

I just started reading Sight Unseen by Kasha Thompson. It’s not my usual type of book but I want to join a book club and that’s what my chosen club is reading right now. I don’t mind, I’m always excited about the possibility of discovering something new to enjoy.
