The Writer's Roundtable discussion

Yes, this is a writing group, but writing and reading go together. I always like to see what people are reading!

What does everyone like to read? What are you reading now?

I'm reading Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen! I'm 149 pages in and I'm starting to see the wit I was promised! lol

What about you?

I was reading Keep This to Yourself by Tom Ryan but I've finished it. Now I'm reading Six of Crows. It's supposed to be good so I'm excited.

Pride and Prejudice sounds like a good book, I might read it sometime. I have Six of Crows on my want-to-read shelf, but I'm not sure if it's decent or not. Tell me what you think, because even though some books are bestsellers that doesn't mean they are good lol :)

I like to read fantasies and I am currently reading multiple books including Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for the second time, Mananaland, and Insidious.

you know what, I'm not sure if I've ever fully finished Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows?????

who am I honestly

I am a sucker for dark retellings, enemies to lovers, and a good murder or ten. That is why, I am more often reading These Violet Delights By Chloe Gong & Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson! Because who else doesn't love murder and two people who absolutely hate each other to the point they may kill one another............ cuz I do!

Oh I want to read Good Girl, Bad Blood. I like reading murder mysteries, love story's, LGBTQ+ books, dystopian books, and mostly just all ya books. I'm currently reading The Cheerleaders, What if its Us, and Girl Made of Stars.

I love GGBB and a AGGGTM. I'm fine with any books as long as they're good, the genres don't rly matter. I'm currently You Know Me Well.

I literally enjoy every single genre you just said. Also, could you let me know if Girl Made of Stars is good? The cover is 😘 but I have to be reasonable with my bank account.

It's my fault though, whenever I check a book out from the library I want to go to the bookstore and buy the book just so I can have it on my shelf.

I haven't read much of Girl Made of Stars but I like it so far and I like most of Ashley Herring Blake's books so I think it's a good book.

Ya'll should read These Witches Don't Burn.

I checked it out from the library but I haven't read it yet, it looks good.

Thank you for the recommendation. I've heard of it but never got around to checking it out. Now, time to go to the bookstore I wonder why people keep trying to lecture me about being responsible with my money!!! YAYY!

I'm currently reading Girls of Paper And Fire (for the second time XD)

I'm reading a psychology book and it makes me happy.

Lol thats good

Is Girls of Paper And Fire good?

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS IT"S SOOOO GOOD. The second book is also really good too but I haven't read the third book yet but I really hope I get It for my birthday.

lol ok, I'll add it to my want to read list.

Okay good.

I have it the ebook checked out but I haven't gotten around to reading it.

Well I can just tell you it's really good :)

Anyone read or reading the Scythe series?? I have read both the first and second :D

R wrote: "Anyone read or reading the Scythe series?? I have read both the first and second :D"

I have the first book and I read it a few months ago. I wrote a review about it. I'm not sure if I'll buy the rest of the series or not. It's just... idk. Read my review lol

I am currently half kinda-not-kinda-is reading the first Scythe book... I have one opinion although I haven't gotten very far: Scythes are [REDACTED]. They're just jerks, dude.

Lmao ok. I feel ya.

Seriously, they be like: "Oh hey I'm just going to have dinner before I kill your neighbor" ??????

I know. Its strange.

That's an understatement.

I agree, though not all scythes are jerks. Later in the book, youll see that some are honorable in their line of work, and some are not. It's just the way society is for them, and the honorable ones try their best to kill kindly. In a way, they are doing a service for society, since there isnt many ways for ppl to die, they are helping to control the population. But it is messed up

That is a nice way to think about it, R. I applaud you for that. However, my small-minded brain will still consider them jerks for the time being.

Thank you, and also that's valid

No, thank you for understanding my stubbornness.

Am currently reading A Natural History of Dragons which was gifted to me by a friend and LOVE it. Basically victorian woman becomes a dragon scientist and its great.

I read a lot of variety, but primarily tend to come back to fantasy, scifi, and adult romance. I'm hoping to get back into reading more regularly- sometimes life just gets so heavy, yknow? Yall reading any fun summer sun books?

I'm thinking about re-reading the percy jackson series because I LOVED it in 4th to 5th grade. So that should be fun over the summer. I have nothing better to do lol

I would love to re-read PJO this summer, but math and SAT studying, so I can't do that.

I've never gotten to read the Percy Jackson series. My husband owns and loves them, I've been meaning to borrow them.

You should read them. They are so good =D

Leah wrote: "I've never gotten to read the Percy Jackson series. My husband owns and loves them, I've been meaning to borrow them."

Yeah, they are good, even for a kids book.

Planning on it- I was late to the HP party too lol I'm sure I'll enjoy them.

Leah wrote: "Planning on it- I was late to the HP party too lol I'm sure I'll enjoy them."

If you do enjoy them, I'd totally recommend continuing by reading the spinoffs (the order of the "Camp Half-Blood Chronicles" is Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, and finally Trials of Apollo). It took e a few years to read all of these series, so there's definitely no need to rush through them.

I'm like halfway through GGBB (good girl, bad blood) book two in the AGGGTM series. Now, I know a few of you have read it and I am ABSOLUTELY adoring it!!! (probably because of Ravi tbh)

Thats good!

I'm reading Realm Breaker by Victoria Aveyard and loving it!

Nice! I'm 8 pages into the Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien and I'll probably read 50 or so pages more today!
