I recently finished The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo which I really enjoyed. Probably one of my favorite books that I've read this year (The long way to a small angry planet and Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine are my absolute favorites though). Right now I'm a few pages into The Fifth Season but I might put that one aside and start reading Red Sister instead. Hmm.
So What Are You Reading?

The Outsider by Stephen King. It's his latest book and I love it so much. It has the same vibes that his older books had. It really reminds me of IT.
I'm also rereading the Wimpy Kid series. I'm currently up to the 11th book, which is the second last one. I haven't been doing much reading lately, so I need to start it up again.

I finished Howl's Moving Castle last night! I really liked it; I felt like it gave some clarification to certain parts of the movie, which is one of my favorites. 
Have you read 11/22/63? I think you might like it. Part of it's based in Derry, and while it's not a horror novel per se (although I think the parts in Derry probably qualify as horror in the most Derry-like way), it has similar themes. I also thought it was interesting to read about Derry from an outsider's perspective.

The Raven King by Maggie Stiefvater. It's the last book of the series and I don't really want it to be over because I've enjoyed it so much.
Finished Koto/The old capital by Yasunari Kawabata some days ago and honestly I was a bit disappointed... dunno if the translation made it look pure garbage but yeah it was a bit bland.
Also finished reading Eleven minutes by Paulo Coelho today and it was real good and not that cheesy spiritual and stuff :3

I recently read The Lonely Hearts Hotel by Heather O’Neill. Now I still feel a little empty that the story ended. I love books that talk about children who grew up in a harsh environment. Books that make me cry are my favourites TT___TT
Are you enjoying it so far? :> I just started the third book so no spoilers xD I'm enjoying this series way more than I thought I would. I really thought I wouldn't find a good YA series again, but this one definitely stands out. It's so well written and I love the characters so much! Except for Adam .__. I hope this book will change my feelings though.
Which book would you say is your favorite in the series?

I've been reading the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde. I'm just starting the 4th book. They're fairly quick, easy reads, which is perfect for this time of year (work is crazy, so I don't have the energy for anything heavy).
Started on By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept (another one by Paulo Coelho.. we just have so many cheap paperbacks at work and when I bought some they were the only legit good one we had at the time lol).
Seems aight so far I guess.. Let's hope it's not too cheesy.

Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi. A really good YA fantasy novel that gives me Black Panther vibes, but with magic! I'm a bit over 200 pages at the moment and really enjoying it. I hear its rights have been bought for a movie deal too

The Talisman by Stephen King.

I thought I should teach myself something new so I started reading Fundamentals of cognition by Michael W. Eysenck yesterday. Let's see if any of it sticks...
I'm also reading Unsong which is a web serial by Scott Alexander and oh lord I probably like it way too much. It's set in a world in which after Apollo 8 accidentally forms a crack in the sky magic starts working, religions are true (the story has a huge emphasis on Kabbalism) and the archangel Uriel has to keep patching bugs to keep the world working as it should. Speaking the names of God has all kinds of magical effects and known names are patented and their use regulated. And of course corporations have sweatshops where people speak computer-generated names in order to find new ones for the companies to make money out of. The protagonist is one of these workers who discovers a powerful new name at the beginning of the story. It's very clever and creative and I just love the humor and setting! I miss a lot of things tho because I'm dumb and don't know anything and that kinda bothers me.
OH and I'm also reading A Blade of Black Steel and A Practical Guide to Evil that are also great! And re-reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Why so many... It feels like I'm not making progress with any of them...
