I just re-read Jurassic Park, one of my all-time favorite books! I definitely recommend to anyone who has not read it.

If you like fantasy, a book series I really am enjoying is the continuing world-building of the DFZ series, by Rachel Aaron. So far there's three series build into the world. Starting with the (you need an account to see links)5-book series.Originally Posted by goodnightmoon
It was continued in the 3-book DFZ series, starting with (you need an account to see links)
And the newest series is the DFZ Changeling books, (you need an account to see links), currently waiting for Book 2.
This world is so absolutely well-built and huge. I literally joined the Discord for a new AI-based CYoA virtual game by Hidden Door, based on book IPs, basically entirely to campaign for getting the rights to this series for it. Even before it, I had made a project of combing through the books for details to to build out a 5e setting from it.

Okay it's like you read my mind. This is exactly what I'd like to dive into. This sounds AMAZING, thank you
thank you Lyrichord for the amazing avatar!
Still working on Bulgakov, but I've distracted myself with re-reading Junji Ito's version of No Longer Human and finding a sketchy website to finish up +Anima...

Right now, I've been reading a lot of thrillers. They're my favourite genre.
Currently, I am reading (you need an account to see links). Its pretty good so far! I had never heard of this author before, but it was recommended to me based on other books I have read with similar vibes. I appreciate the pacing of the book and I am curious to see what happens at the end. I will likely finish it tonight!
Right now I have a few books on my reading list that I'm powering through
The first is:
Battle Royale by Koushun Takami
I watched Squid Games / Alice in Borderlands and was looking for something in the same vein and someone recommended it to me!
The second is Ring + the rest of the series by Koji Suzuki
I watched the movie when I was a child (gotta love filipino family who doesn't care that horror is not your thing) and it was oddly and still is extremely terrifying to me, so I wanted to see if I read the books if it could help me overcome that fear!
So far, no real dice, but the novels are really nicely written
(and my final for my list, whenever we get an english release is Haruki Murakami's The city and it's uncertain walls) I collect his books, and have been reading them all over and over, he's probably my favorite author and I just can't wait to see how this one turns out as well. They're anticipating a 2024 release, so that's exciting and soon.

Currently dabbling in...a lot.
I started rereading The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson for the 5th time after peer pressuring my coworkers into picking it up. I have about 2 hours left in the audiobook, but I've kind of shelved it in pursuit of reading something new...
So I'm now mostly listening to The Stand by Stephen King. I'm only on chapter 7, so I've got a little ways to go (only 40 more hours!). It's my 2nd King novel, my first being Pet Sematary which I didn't love. Here's hoping this goes better.
Every night I read to my baby until she falls asleep. She's only a year old, so she doesn't care what I read to her. Right now the book we're reading is Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson. Really enjoying it so far (chapter 11), especially for the gorgeous illustrations.
Whenever I have any extra time to read by myself (almost never), I've been chipping slowly away at Gleanings by Neal Shusterman. It's a collection of short stories, so it's easy to pick up and put down whenever. I'm about 4 or 5 stories in so far and looking forward to the rest.

I read Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto in about a day and a half, and really enjoyed it. It was a really light read despite some heavy subject matter like grief, and it had slight touches of magical realism, and overall I liked it. I might pick up some more of her work.
i just finished listening to Engines of Empire and Engines of Chaos by R.S. Ford
i like the series, its very Game of Thrones-y. tons of betrayal and death and you just are always like wondering whats actually happening lol
so gotta patiently wait for a 3rd one, i think its just a trilogy. the audiobook was very very good. the narration was spot on!
i'm physically reading Ruination by Anthony Reynolds. its a League of Legends book and i like it a lot
i am a sucker for lore so definitely fun to read about these characters' backstories.
next up on the list to listen to and read is:
Yumi and the Nightmare Painter by Brandon Sanderson (i have started listening to the audiobook already)
Godkiller by Hannah Kraner (very excited about this one, was told it kinda gives the Witcher vibes)
