I haven't been around consistently but I haven't seen a books thread lately. So what are you reading? What's the last book that you read and loved? Or maybe one you wanted to love but ultimately gave up on?

Somewhere Beyond the Sea

[(Anonymous)]

By TJ Klune. Sequel to The House on the Cerulean Sea. I just got my copy today and am excited to have a book I'm excited about!

I just picked up House on the Cerulean Sea, and I’m excited to read it!

Oh I hope you enjoy it! It had a bit if a slow start for me but by the end I was absolutely all in and loved it.

Two books.

A book on Belva Lockwood, the first female presidential candidate and one of the first female lawyers in the US.

And on Return of the King of my LOTR reread.

Right now, I'm reading Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law by Mary Roach. I DNF'd The Big Ones: How Natural Disasters Have Shaped Us (and What We Can Do About Them) by Lucy Jones.

I didn't finish Fuzz, I had heard such good things and had high hopes. Hopefully it works for you though!

I’m currently reading The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne. I’m halfway through and really enjoying it but also kinda reaching the point where it’s dragging. It’s three different POV characters and so far their stories haven’t even bumped each other.

I'm working on two: Ban This Book by Alan Gratz and e by Matt Beaumont.

Recently read and enjoyed: The Ministry of Time (Kaliane Bradley), A Botanical Daughter (Noah Medley) and Prophet Song (Paul Lynch) - though "enjoyed" is the wrong word for the last one! I read The Terror a few years ago so with The Ministry of Time it was very odd reading a different fictional take on the Franklin expedition. Of those three books Botanical Daughter was my favourite even though I was worried as I wasn't sure how I'd react to the plant horror aspect.

Hated: How to Sell A Haunted House (Grady Hendrix) because I thought it was going to be about an actual haunted house with the usual family-as-haunting metaphors and instead I got a really annoying and shit demonic/possessed puppet story. I love most horror but possessed doll is basically my least favourite subgenre and the blurb DIDN'T mention it at all that this is where the book is going.

Re: Books books books

see, and I wound up LOVING How to Sell a Haunted House-- the family-as-haunting was still there, even if it was a puppet and not the house itself. But I know other people who were in your camp and really didn't like where it went.

A Botanical Daughter I thought sounded very interesting!

I *just* finished The Last Murder at the End of the World by Stuart Turton and I absolutely loved it! Lots of twists, and one clue that I caught early enough on but didn't have QUITE enough information to follow all the way until everything came out...

I’m half way through The Invention of Murder by Judith Flanders and really enjoying the history and cases.

I've been in a little bit of a reading slump for a month, but I'm about to start reading Ponyboy by Eliot Duncan.
I've also been rereading Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle for the first time in over 10 years because I found copies of the manga at my local library and am on the 6th volume so far.
