Gretchen27 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 YA isn’t my normal go to genre; but I thought I’d give at least the first book a try from my local libraries monthly reading list. I’m hoping for something similar to Skulduggery Pleasant because that series was a surprisingly pleasant read (sorry not sorry). Also, been on a bit of a graphic novel binge. Reading the following in the 12th Doctor’s years: Spoiler Still need to read Hyperion, The Wolves of Winter, & A Confusion of Angels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gretchen27 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 No real expectations for this, the blurb simple caught my attention. As is its purpose for once instead of the numerous 3 word praises you find on most books these days. Finished up Department Nineteen, I gave it 3/5 stars on Goodreads with a snippet of my thoughts on it. Spoiler The book has some great action sequences with plenty of gore I wouldn't have expected from a YA novel. You'll get tie-ins with the fictional classics (Dracula, Van Helsing, & Frankenstein). On the down side I found the character development rushed (physically & mentally), & the twists were set up nicely, just not unexpected. Strong ending though, I will continue with the series down the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangisuckatgamin Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Still chugging away at this. I'm a slow reader anymore. Usually read at my boyfriend's bowling leagues but he hasn't been bowling. Reading all Stephen King regular novels (already read all his short story collections) in order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you a Scientologist? No judgment, BTW, but if you are not, I think you and I are the only non-Scientologists that enjoy that book. Anyway, for me: If you want to amazed (and, often, depressed) at how irrationally you think and act, this book is for you. It's amazing how your brain is wired to handle things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take a closer look you'll see that it says "Mein Krampf" which translates to "My cramp" or "My strain" or "My nonsense". Not interested in that shit (the real concoction I mean). Your suggestion, on the other hand, sounds interesting. Might give it a shot some time. Edited March 13, 2019 by fastflowdaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesey46 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I only just recently got into reading comics and graphic novels so I'm currently reading through the original Watchmen graphic novel. It's great so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordShavron Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I'm listening to the audiobook of The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss during my commutes. I read it when it came out 8 years ago and recently decided to listen to it while waiting for the next book. As for sitting down and reading a book, I'm reading Paddle Your Own Cannoe by Nick Offerman. I'm only a couple of chapters in, but it isn't exactly what I expected. I thought it would be funnier, but perhaps that will come. It's still an interesting read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KayoAye Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 @AmarisSkye I'm kinda the same way with reading, I got like 4 or 5 books on pause right now. You got some great reads in that list though! @jonesey46 You went big for just getting into comics. If you're intereated in some context when you're done with the book I would suggest The Great Alan Moore Reread on tor.com. They look back on all of his comics, big and small. If I remember right Watchmen was given special attention over 4 or 5 entries. @LordShavron Wise Man's fear was pretty great, I wish Rothfuss would finish the trilogy already! I'd been looking for something to pull me back into reading for like a month and The Murderbot Diaries finally did it. I'm on the third one now and it's really exciting and interesting sci-fi. They're only novellas so they save space by leaving the worldbuilding in the background, but the world definitely come through by the end of the second one.

Gretchen27 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Super stoked to be getting around to reading the first book. I've already read The Map of the Sky (loved it) & yes I frequently read series out of order. If you like science/historical fiction I would highly recommend this trilogy. Also, finished How to Stop Time: I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It's written in first person which typically I avoid, but it was amazing as well.

Gretchen27 Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Still reading The Map of Time, but also started reading a volume of Bunny Drop or Library Wars in the evenings. Bunny Drop is a slice of life manga that follows a 30yr old bachelor who ends up raising his 6yr old aunt. Sounds pretty tame by manga concept standards, right? For the most part the chapters are predictable, but it has its good moments sometimes. Currently on vol 4. Library Wars takes place in a not so far off future Japan where censorship by the government has got the libraries up in arms. Literally. Libraries have set up a special defense force to protect their collections. There's of course a romance sub element done in a more humorous than serious way. As an avid reader, the passion that comes through for the freedom to read is great to see. Wished I'd have started this sooner. Currently on vol 5.

KayoAye Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I just finished up a couple of rereads. The first was Something From the Nightside by Simon R. Green, a cosmic horror noir with a deep, dark sense humor. Horror noir. Even my mind stumbles over that pair, let alone my tongue. Anyway, I liked this one better the second time around and immediately followed it up with the sequel Agents of Light and Darkness. I can see this series getting better with each entry and look forward to picking up #3. I also reread Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story by Christopher Moore. Moore is one of my favorite authors and it's a real joy to go back when it's been 6 or 7 years since I checked in with his stuff. Now I just need to decide where to go next. There's 3 books on pause I could finish or maybe something new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsaSheWolfSS Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 This is a pretty good book, not the best of Stephen King's work but good nonetheless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
