What is everyone reading right now? Anything you’re really excited about? I’m almost half way to my reading goal for the year!
Here is what I’ve read so far this year, plus some small comments/highlights:
- Good Vibes, Good Life by Vex King
- Alex and Me by Irene M. Pepperberg
- Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Three Stories by Truman Capote
- The Wild Robot by Peter Brown
- The Burning House by Ann Beattie
- Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
- The Curator by Owen King
- I loved this book. I don’t know what genre to call it exactly, which means it’s a part of my favorite genre — the weird tale! This strange and complex story is one of my top reads so far this year.
- Silver Under Nightfall by Rin Chupeco
- Wayside School Beneath the Cloud of Dooms by Louis Sachar
- Kill the Farm Boy by Delilah S. Dawson
- Upgrade by Blake Crouch
- Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
- The Color of Revenge by Cornelia Funke
- Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom by Cory Doctorow
- A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal
- James by Percival Everett
- This book is great. It retells Mark Twain’s characters from Jim’s perspective. Read it!
- Divided Allegiance by Elizabeth Moon
- Starling House by Alix E. Harrow
- House of Frank by Kay Sinclaire
- This is a cozy, heart warming story about grief. I cannot express how much I loved this book.
- A Second Chance by Jodi Taylor
- Night of Demons and Saints by Menna Van Praag
- The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
- There is a reason so many books, movies, and shows are based on this. This is classic master horror story telling by one of the best. I loved it.
- Mr. Monster by Dan Wells
- A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
- I admit it, I didn’t want to like this, but I read it because I wanted to see what the fuss was about. Romance is not something I read often. And in the end, I liked it. I’m going to read the second as well.
- A Venom Dark and Sweet by Judy Lin
Overall, I haven’t read a book I didn’t like this year. It’s been a great year, looking forward to the rest!
Happy reading and writing today and everyday!
Still Working on My Novel 
25 books! Well that’s my target by the end of June, but I’m running way behind, 18 done so far. Any quick, absolute entertainers you’ll suggest out these? Genre no bar… thanks.
Mr. Monster is a really fast read. But it’s the second book in the series. The first is also fast. It’s called I Am Not A Serial Killer. And Upgrade by Blake Crouch was also a really fast read. Happy reading!
Both added to my kindle. Thanks for the recommendation AJ…
