I'm 35% in Blood of Elves, which is book 3 in the Witcher series

I'm currently reading City of Ashes!! I'm hoping to like it.

I‘m reading The history of bees but i‘ll probably finish it today

A Woman is No Man. Like the storytelling style.

Im taking the time to do some heavy reading while we are on community quarantine.

2. Poor Economics by Duflo and Bannerjee (Im already halfway through, homestretch...been on this book for almost a month now...pretty heavy but very infodense)
3. Being Mortal by Atul Gawande ... very timely these days

I applaud you. Those three books sound intense. Good for you! :)

I’m reading Rosie’s Travelling Tea Shop and listening to Dear Sweet Pea. I just finished Recursion which was amazing!

What was Recursion about?

Currently reading Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. Really glad I have the first 4 books, as my library has closed! Trying to avoid anything Dystopian or post-apocalyptic right now. 😅 Fantasy is the best escape for that!

Jessalyn Loosely put Recursion is about a memory affliction that is spreading which causes many to commit suicide. A cop is trying to understand what’s happening and gets sucked in with a neurologist to try to stop it. I don’t think my summary does it justice, but it’s a great book.

Currently reading 2 books
1. A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
2. The Secret Chapter by Genevieve Cogman
I generally have a physical book and an e-book going at the same time.

I'm reading the following books:
Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz
Sweet Valley High #1 Double Love by Francine Pascal
Shadow Child: Witches of Palmetto Point Book 6 (Never read books 1-5) by Wendy Wang
An American Princess: The Many Lives of Allene Tew by Annejet van der Zijl

House of earth and blood. And I'm scared cause I'm only 170 pages in and I'm starting to like characters. I hope Sarah have mercy on us after that KOA finale!

The Starter House by Sonja Condit

I JUST finished educated right before I join this group. I'm deciding what's next. :)

I’m listening to Dirty Irish and reading the physical copy of The Authenticity Project.

Trying to decide between Royals, Caraval, or Throne of Glass.

Buddy Read MaddAddam and Harry Potter #3! Thanks for this!

I'm 90% through The blood of Olympus then I'm planning to start To kill a mockingbird

completed Starter House!

Circe by Madeline Miller. I couldn’t read the Witcher series anymore. The last two books were awful!

I’m finally starting the True Blood series. 33% into “Dead Until Dark” ❤️

The Raintree Trilogy & The Guardians

That sounds really good. How is it so far? And who's the author so I can look it up?

Jodi lynn Anderson, and I finished it, I was a little disappointed with it, not much action and is heavily focused on romance and weird perspectives. Not terrible but not the best either.

Ooh that does sound good. I like books that have romance as a major topic. I just put it on my to read list.
