A city Furniture magazine. I’m trying to get some ideas for decorating. It has some pointers.
Wanted to read Charles Darwin's The Descent of Man, but decided to read the The Human Genome Project by Elizabeth L. Marshall. A little older than the book I just finished earlier this week, but on the same subject. It's a book I borrowed from the library, so I'm going to read through that, then start on one of Darwin's most well-known works.
oops, probably should have posted in this thread instead of the last finished book thread since im not done with it LOL.
i'm reading jeanette mccurdy's memoir right now. the title is i'm glad my mom died which can sound really bad to someone who hasn't been through this kind of abuse. i can't empathize with everything since jeanette went through some awful abuse but she talks about her mom love bombing her and then calling her an awful terrible person for not conforming to her insanely unhealthy standards and damn is that something i relate to.
it's a good read and i recommend it but i'd give a TW for s*xual themes and mentions of alcohol.

rest a while.
I’ve been catching up on horrors and thrillers on my kindle lately.
Right now I am slowly getting through The End of Her by Shari Lapena.
I have days where I am pushing through a book, and others where I’m pretty slow to get through it.

are we the same person??? I’m currently listening to that and omg i’m obsessed! I can’t believe the life she’s lived. I always heard she had mom issues, but my god, i didn’t know it ran that deep. Her mom was such a manipulative and abusive person. Some of the things i’ve heard from that have disgusted me so much. Wow, it’s so captivating though. I especially love that she’s reading the audio book and she really just nails taking you back in time and i can just picture everything happening. Damn it’s such a wonderful book!
I'm currently reading the Count of Monte Cristo. I just finished Part 1 last night and I have 3 parts left to read. Each part is about the length of a full book on it's own so it's going to be a long read, but I'm enjoying it so far. I am familiar with the story through other forms of media, but I decided to finally read it from the original source.
I don't know if I can say the name of the book in the forum, But I'm reading Jennette McCurdy's autobiography about her life growing up with her mother, and it's so well written, I'm really engrossed in this book, and it's one of the only books I've read recently that I have struggled to put down once starting.
oh??? i didn't know she was narrating the audio book!! i ended up buying the book from google play books anyways but was sorta considering the audio book, now i regret not getting it! but yeah, reading about her mom is gut wrenching. the part where her mom starts yelling at her over email because of the TMZ pictures brought me back to a time with my own mom, i wouldn't wish it on anyone. really great book overall, i'm so glad she's having this conversation because not many people experience this kind of stuff.
also as an icarly fan, i remember the episode where her characters "mom" showed up and they had an awfully strained relationship there, and its totally opened my eyes to the situation. like wow, i cant believe they put her through that knowing what her mom did...

It sounds boring, but I'm reading a book called Feature Writing for Newspapers, by Daniel Williamson. It's an old book from the 70's, and I'm hoping it will help me improve my writing skills! I normally read fantasy books, but it's nice to have a break from magic and dragons.I’m sure a lot of you have been picking up reading as an extra form of entertainment over lockdown, so tell me what you’ve been reading!
for me, I’m working my way through Becoming by Michelle Obama, and I’m also reading How To Be Right in a world gone wrong by James O’Brien. The latter is probably one of the best books I’ve read - I’ve almost finished it in 3 days! He gives a (liberal) insight to feminism, brexit, political correctness and Donald trump among other things. Definitely recommend it!
I’ve also seen good things about the book “Girls & sex” which I’m thinking of picking up!
I'm currently reading The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah. It's inspired by stories from One Thousand and One Nights. I only have about twenty pages left, and I've really enjoyed it. It's the first book of The Sandsea Trilogy, so I'm looking forward to the rest of the series!

I finally got Jennette McCurdy's audiobook last night and finished it now. I couldn't stop listening to it, I had to force myself to stop listening so I could try to sleep last night and even then I went back a couple of times to listen for 5 more minutes.
I'm loving Louise Penny. I've been completely sucked into her world of mysteries and have just finished The Madness of Crowds. I'm currently halfway through Still Life.
If any mystery fans are in here, I highly recommend her books.

I finished I’m Glad My Died by Jennette Mccurdy a couple days ago. Wow! The abuse she went through is disgusting and unimaginable. There was a sweet touching moment towards the end that brought me to tears. She is so much stronger than she thinks she is.
I’m now listening to the World’s Worst Assistant by Sona Movsesian. If you don’t know who she is, she is a well known personal assistant for Conan O’Brian. The book covers her fun working relationship with Conan. It’s been very great so far.

Oooh I've started reading a lot as well. I'm currently reading the Shadow Rising, the 4th instalment to the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. I'm also reading Life of Pi (like the movie!) but I think I currently enjoy the movie a bit more. ( ´ཀ` )

I really want to finally get into the Lord of the Rings series so I've been reading those books lately!
As far as nonfiction, Marie Kondo's Tidying Up book has been EXTREMELY helpful. xD
