I finished reading The Woman in the Moonlight by Patricia Morrisroe last night. It is a fictionalized story about Countess Julie Guicciardi, the woman Beethoven dedicated the Moonlight Sonata to. It was a fun read, but I'd rather something that had been grounded a bit more in fact.

I just finished reading The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue and it was spectacular! I’ll be reading the rest of the series for sure!
I’m about 3/4 into Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami as part of a book swap I’m doing with some friends. I’m really enjoying it and love the way he writes! Next I’m reading The Goldfinch lol. Finally joining the bandwagon...
I finished reading Jurassic Park and the sequel. The first one was pretty good. A more feature-rich experience than the movie. The second is less good, and barely resembles the movie at all. But it has some elements that I find interesting and would have liked to see implemented. They're not the kind of thing I would normally read, but I think they're worth it if you're a fan of the movies. They're interesting books, even if they're not what I would call "great." By that I mean that if you're not already a fan of the movies, I don't really consider them required reading and would be hard-pressed to picture them as a classroom example on how to write a novel. But they're fun.
after a little 5 month reading hiatus, i finally picked up a book. i'm thinking of ending things by iain reid. yes, purely because of the netflix movie. i've stopped myself from watching it until i finished the novel (which i just did about 20 minutes ago, so hello to this movie tonight).

Proverbs 15:19
Currently reading 'How to Be Filled with the Holy Spirit' by A.W. Tozer. I just finished his book 'The Dangers of a Shallow Faith', and it was amazing!
Last week, I finished up Night of the Dragon, the final book in the Shadow of the Fox trilogy. It was a pretty good series overall, but I thought the first book was the best and the second and third books became increasingly formulaic.
I'm not sure what I want to start reading next. I still have Poe's criticisms yet to read, but I read the first one on Friday and just wasn't feeling it. So I might start on one of several mystery novels that my mom let me borrow. I'll figure it out eventually.

It's October! That means it's time for horror! So continuing with my classical literature binge, I'll be reading Mary Shelly's Frankenstein followed by Bram Stoker's Dracula. I know those are obvious picks, but I'll probably busy a lot of the month so I don't have time to choose carefully.
Haven’t really had the time or motivation to read anything not related to my studies, although my wishlist of books is slowly piling up!
one academic-related book I’ve been reading is The Prince, for my politics class. I think the last book I read for fun was Flowers for Algernon, which was amazing!
I’ve mainly been listening to audiobooks, working my way through the Harry Potter series, as well as a book called “Invisible Women” which is a really interesting book about exposing data bias in a world designed for men, and proves greatly how much we still need feminism in 2020!
since it’s October, I thought I’d mention I also finished the audiobook “the demonologist” by Ed and Lorraine warren. If anybody is a fan of the conjuring, I’d recommend this book as it goes more in depth about their experiences during these hauntings and there are a few extras added in as well! I know the warrens are quite controversial and have been outed as frauds many of times, but I still find their stories interesting! c:

I couldn't get into any of my more complex books so I picked up a book my mom loaned to me. It's called A Stranger in the House by Shari Lapena and it's pretty much exactly what I needed. It's an easy read and interesting enough. I started plowing through it today on my work break and didn't want to put it down.
So, I finished A Stranger in the House in less than a week. It was a really easy read and even though some of it was predictable, it still kept me turning the pages until the end where they actually threw in a little twist I wasn't expecting.
Today, I started reading The Stolen Marriage by Diane Chamberlain. It's another loaner from my mom and it's seems interesting so far. It takes place during the WWII era and I haven't read a whole lot of novels set in that time period that don't deal directly with the war, so that's pretty cool.
