I'm reading Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo. This duology really isn't the masterpiece I was led to believe that it was. But of course I still have to finish it.
I'm reading Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon. I'm a sucker for romance and this story is so sweet <3 I've watched the movie first which is rare, I guess I did it backwards this time
Yesterday, I finished my re-reading of Phantom of the Opera. It's rare for me to re-read books because I have a list a mile long of new books I want to read, but I'm glad I picked it up again. I was definitely in the mood for it.
I was reminded of so many things that I'd forgotten over the years. Little details, like how the Phantom's mask is a full black mask in the book, rather than the iconic partial white mask. Bigger details, like the role of the Persian, who tends to get cut from most stage and screen renditions. And I was reminded once again of why I really don't like the character of Raoul at all. All he does is whine and stalk and harrass Christine, but never listens to a word she says. He's utterly useless and does nothing but complicate matters, and yet he gets rewarded at the end.
I've postponed finishing The Traveling Cat Chronicles by Hiro Arikawa until i feel like i'm Ready to let the story end so that's, ,,, probably never
Currently I'm reading Ordinary World by Jose Arguelles and it's a pretty good collection of speculative fiction! I like that all the stories are set in my country too
I'm currently reading The Silver Eyes, the first of three FNaF books written by Scott Cawthon and Kira Breed-Wrisley. I started reading it just out of curiosity; I've played all the games and I wanted to see how the books compare. I'm actually enjoying it so far! c: The writing isn't amazing or anything, but it's still well-paced and entertaining. c:
I’m currently reading Kafka On The Shore by Haruki Murakami and I find it very interesting. I think after im done I’ll read Veronica Decides To Die by Paulo Coelho
I'm currently reading Small Gods by Terry Pratchett..One of my favorite writers! He just has a great way describing things. I also really love The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. Both I highly recommend if you're in to really descriptive books. I find it very easy to get lost in the worlds they write.
Four Past Midnight, the two stories I've read out of it so far started out really good and got so stupid and ridiculous towards the end, like full-out unsatisfying. Gonna finish the whole thing though LoL
My boss, one of my coworkers, and I have vastly different reading tastes, so we are doing a book club where each of us has to read a book the other two have picked out. Currently, we are reading a trashy regency-era romance novel that our boss picked out. It's scandalous, and while it's pretty funny to make fun of, I don't believe I will be actively seeking out any more of these to read. Not really my style.
Just finished Mark of Athena, and im quite exhausted with fantasy right now, so im not delving in to the 4th book yet
But i am reading (or gonna read) Everyday by David Levithan, and i plan to double read it with House of Hades (whenever the fantasy exhaustion starts to leave)
I've started reading The Portrait of a Lady by Henry James. It's a story I've been interested in for a while. I tried to watch the Nicole Kidman movie a couple of times many years ago, but I always fell asleep at the same part. But I know I can make it through the book no matter how long it takes, and I'm finally feeling ready to tackle it. I hope it's good.
