This wild breakneck pacing is something I live for - absolutely insane in the best way.

Worry

Daniel B
Daniel B is 60% done with One Perfect Couple
It’s feels like Ware interviewed a couple of people in reality show production and was like “nah, thanks though”. I’m wildly frustrated by this so far! I think I know too much about how reality shows work.🤷‍♂️

Daniel B is 50% done with Needful Things
Still thoroughly invested and haven’t lost interest! The funny thing is some of the behavior that was meant to seem shocking when it was written just seems normal nowadays.

Starting the October book club book early because I struggle with long books! Really intriguing so far!

I cannot remember the last time I was this bored. Trying to slog it out for book club but my word, I genuinely don’t care what is happening.

He includes some problematic content but this book is an absolute marvel for film lovers.

Daniel B
Daniel B is 65% done with Little Rot
I traditionally slump hard in the summer and no exception this year. I picked this up with very little info and I must say, it’s absolutely miserable. A dark plot, unlikable characters, and some subjects I just don’t enjoy reading about. I appreciate it a lot more than I like it, but I’ll finish it.

Little Rot

Daniel B
Daniel B is 90% done with The Berry Pickers
This is one of the most poorly written “popular” books I’ve read in ages. I cannot wait to be done. It’s emotionally manipulative, painfully predictable, too many underdeveloped or unnecessary supporting characters, and dialog that gives off “written by AI” energy. It’s like Hallmark-ifying a serious topic for book sales and it’s actually offensive.

Daniel B is 33% done with The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America
Trying to connect with this historical book about a bunch of interchangeable white dudes at the Chicago World Fair is like trying to binge-watch C-SPAN. Seriously these guys are so privileged and I just struggle to give a shit about building buildings and constructing constructions. Waiting for the murders to kick in so something interesting happens.

Daniel B is 18% done with Funny Story
I’m enjoying this but it’s not grabbing me like some of my other recent reads did right from the get go - hoping it picks up! My favorite books are the ones I can’t wait to get out of work to get back to.

Funny Story

Daniel B
Daniel B is 70% done with The Husbands
I did not expect the level of emotional depth this story has - it started out really fun and is morphing into something far more profound. It’s so good!

Imagine Groundhog’s Day meets Bridget Jones’ Diary vibes packed into something wildly original…that’s this so far, and it’s so much fun.

Daniel B is 33% done with What Really Happens in Vegas: True Stories of the People Who Make Vegas, Vegas
So I’ve never read Patterson, and don’t know if this even really counts, but if you write a history book about Vegas I’m in. Funny enough, I know about half of the things covered so far but it’s a very swift format that’s a nice chaser to the heavier book I just finished.

Daniel B is 90% done with The [Fake] Dating Game
Okay so the plot is terrible. If there’s one person who would love a gay MM rom com about a game show it would be me. But this is just too unnecessarily ridiculous. I’ll finish it but my word, immensely disappointed.

This selection, a patron recommendation, I scheduled for our April book club at the library. It has an eclipse in it and I had no idea! Happy accident! Also, Dolores is hilarious and ick.

Has officially become only the second book to legitimately scare me to the point I needed to pause to catch my breath. This is absolutely riveting but also so perverse and upsetting.

A thriller that skewers the police, systemic racism, and how awful men are? Yeah, I’m in.

Been in a reading slump (started and stopped six books in the past week). Began this and am so drawn in immediately. Wanted to get to it before watching the new tv show.

Okay, seriously, this book is so up my alley it’s crazy. Sassy Libra energy. Gay dating antics. Throwing a kickass party. A daunting high stakes bet. Yup. I’m here 💯.

The writing is solid and the message is crucial but I’m really struggling to connect with the characters.

Gritty, violent, and timely - so far it’s less fun than I expected but I’m quickly learning this ain’t no Hunger Games.
