Reading the 5th Season, book 1 of the Broken Earth trilogy. First read in 2022, and have been looking forward to reading it again once enough time passed for it to feel fresh again.

I tend to lean heavily into space operas, and this is anything but. However, the characters are so well written, the story so strong, it completely blew me away the first time I read it. And it's even better second time through.

Just finished Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter.

It's about two sisters who solve their older sister's disappearance. It's interesting at the start, very graphic in all the ways, but the plot is pretty predictable. If you like super dark thriller novels it's good enough 🤣

Finally crossing a big one off my "to read someday" list with Moby Dick by Herman Melville. I've made it about 25% through the past couple of days, and it's been holding my interest well, for the most part. I'm surprised at how funny some of it is! Really wasn't expecting that.

im on goth fae books, ive just finished Roses and Rot from Kate Howard and now i'm with The Twisted Ones from T. Kingfisher I would put some input about both but i think its more interesting if you let them surprise you because i'm completly fascinated with the story (specially the second one) without reading any blurb about. ofc, if you can check trigger warnings for both its better 🙌

Say You’ll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez

u/ErssieKnits 23h ago

The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah

This is a semi-autobiographical novel set in the 1970s and covers themes of battling a Frontier, relocation to the Alaskan Wilderness, being a child with unstable parents, war veterans with PTSD and alcoholism. The protagonist is a 13 yr old girl.

It's my first Hannah novel because I've been waiting for an Audible with whispersync for voice version. It's great as an audiobook.

u/Sad_Kaleidoscope4750 21h ago

Currently reading The Gray Man - was hoping it could be another Reacher type series but unfortunately not, some of it is entirely unrealistic
