So What Are You Reading?

[Imbri]

I just finished Elton John's memoir, Me, and can't recommend it highly enough. He writes in a very easy, conversational style but doesn't pull any punches about mistakes or bad decisions he made. I read it in a day, because I simply couldn't put it down.

i got a cute hardback of little women for christmas, which was really nice because it was the first proper book i ever read and i used to read it over and over when i was very young ! i'm going to start reading it tomorrow, or i might wait until i've seen the greta gerwig adaptation of it on monday (timothee chalamet nation please rise)

The Junji Ito adaption of No Longer Human. An interesting read, but way different than his usual stuff.

Read a book about narcissist moms/parents and how they function and work; You're not crazy - It's your Mother by Danu Morrigan. Really interesting, definitely worth a read if you have troubles with those kind of people.

Alex got me the Avatar: TLA comic book "Smoke and Shadow" library edition for Christmas so I've been reading that. I'm not usually much for comics but I love the Avatar world and they're well written.

After I finished the Elton John book, I was looking for something frothy and fun, so I ended up with Mary Bennet and the Bingley Codex by Joyce Harmon on Saturday. I ended up getting the rest of the series (they're all short; 200 or less pages each) and finished them Sunday. I can't say they are the best I've read, but they were the kind of reading I was looking for and they were fun reads. The only problem is now I have a book hangover and can't seem to get out of the world to start something else.

 

[John Wick]

Quantum Physics for Dummies.

No. The Foxtel TV Guide. ^_^

Still dealing with that book hangover, but I'm trying to get past it. I just finished The Mapmaker's Apprentice, book 2 in the Glass and Steele series.

Tomorrow I'm picking up The Pillars of the Earth from the library.

My sister-in-law gave me The Pillars of the Earth for Christmas one year. I loved it. I hope you enjoy it.

I'm about to finish The Glass Town Game by Catherynne M. Valente, one of my favourite fantasy authors. Nobody compares to her, for me!

Thank you, I've been wanting to read it for some time now.

- Psycho (Robert Bloch; on my Kindle; reread);
- the A Series of Unfortunate Events series (Lemony Snicket; reread);
- the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series (Jeff Kinney; reread);
- American Psycho (Bret Easton Ellis); and
- the Death Note manga (reread).

Spoiler: I also bought these today!

Just finished The Hero and the Crown, by Robin McKinley and as it stands, I'd have to go 4/5 stars. Absolutely loved it

Finished The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena yesterday and just got into The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson.

and just got into The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson.

Ohh , the original trilogy is awesome (I haven't read the later adaptions by David Lagercrantz but they seem cool too). Probably the only crime series I enjoy.

 

[minisam]

I'm excited, I've heard great things and it's been in my queue forever.

 

[Imbri]

I had to give up on Pillars of the Earth. I like Follett's writing, but the story just wasn't pulling me in. Maybe I'll give it a shot another time.

In the meantime, I came to the head of the line for Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology, which was awesome, and I've continued on the Glass and Steele series. I'm going to start book 8 tonight, then I'll be waiting until next month (I think) for the 9th to come out.

The Glass Castle my sister recommended it to me and so far it's a pretty good read.
