Reading Glasses - Fan Group discussion

Welcome to Spring (in the southern hemisphere) and Autumn/Fall (if you're in the northern hemisphere).

So, what are YOU reading?

Right now I am reading The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George, Then Came Wanda...With a Baby Carriage by Dakota Cassidy, Upstream by Mary Oliver and Three Nights With a Scoundrel by Tessa Dare. I am also adding The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo. Whew! Just looking at my list is starting to seem a bit daunting! :)

Vermilion Drift by William Kent Krueger. I love reading books set in Minnesota and really enjoy this series, although I'm about 6 books behind. I started reading it when I was in the Boundary Waters this last weekend, since I always like to read books set I northern Minnesota while I'm up there.

Rereading Stephen King's IT for a book club, will definitely not finish it in time for the movie because I started student teaching last week, but I'm gonna see it Friday anyway!!! And I'm also reading The Ghosts of Belfast by Stuart Neville, which I borrowed from a friend. Next stop is the first Missing 411 book which is about people who disappeared from national parks and it's terrifying!

I am reading The Silence of Bonaventure Arrow.

I am also a part of the Another Round (podcast) Book Club. This month we're reading The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. Halfway in and can already say it's a good read.

Just finished The Hate U Give and about to start The Burning Air by Erin Kelly. Also currently reading True North by Tamsen Parker.

I am reading The Stone Sky by N.K. Jemisin. It's the 3rd and final book in the Broken Earth Trilogy. Jemisin is one of the best world builders I have ever read, and she seamlessly blends fantasy and science fiction. The Fifth Season, the first book in the trilogy, won the Hugo Award in 2015. I am really excited to see how this book unfolds!

I just started the Gormenghast trilogy by Mervyn Peake. I'm about halfway through the first book right now. It's a little slow plot wise, but the luxurious, near-poetic descriptions are gorgeous, and it never seems to bog down like some description-heavy works do. Overall I would describe it as if Tim Burton directed Hamlet, but in a good way. It's appealingly grim, a quintessential modern take on a Gothic tale.

I really wanted to re-read The Night Circus but I loved it so much the first time and really wanted my area to be in the full swing of fall before I picked it up again. I think that'll just make it even better (all over again!).
Instead I am reading Howl's Moving Castle for the first time. I'm just a few pages in and can already tell it's fairly different than the animated film (which I love). I'm interested to see how I like it.

Looking for scary/Halloween suggestions.

Try Bird Box. It's a good one.

I always end up re-reading Something Wicked This Way Comes in the Halloween season. Not that scary, but it's a classic.

That's a good one Nicholas. I would second that recommendation.

I just started Teacher Misery.

I've got three in progress right now. Perfidy street station by china mieville, welcome to night vale, and station eleven by Emily St. John Mandel.
