    Worm is just... a complete trek of an ebook that I listened to throughout all of my engineering degree. It's a lot, but it's very fun and worth at least a partial listen!

    Currently reading The End of Temperance Dare by Wendy Webb (she's a 25 year family friend of my father's so I got her book for free ). Some of my favorites, however, are John Sanford's Prey series. A Child Called It by Dave Pelzer of course, and I really liked Micro by Michael Chrichton.

    I'm kind of very much in to the Crime/Sci-Fi genre if you couldn't tell.

    Ah, I love Michael Crichton as well!! My favorite is Timeline... I'll reread that book like once a year or so. So good!

    My favorite books are generally those that are fiction/fantasy with a focus on personified animals or dragons, though I also love me some historical fiction. These are the books on my bookshelf (my most beloved books):

    Taggerung by Brian Jacques (part of the Redwall series, which I recommend the whole series though this one is my fav)

    The Named / Ratha series by Clare Bell (absolutely favorite books in existence, highly recommend; 3rd book is my fav)

    The Dragon Delasangre by Alan Troop (there's sequels but I never read them; the first book stands alone well)

    Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier (dark and heavy, but well-written)

    The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein (you will sob your heart out, but worth it)

    Divergent by Veronica Roth (Insurgent is also fantastic, but I didn't care for the rest of the series)

    Horns by Joe Hill (no book ever infuriated me so much, but damn that was a good story)

    Touching Spirit Bear by Ben Mikaelson (cannot recommend this unique story enough!)

    Warriors Don't Cry by Melba Pattillo Beals (riveting, true story)

    The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman by Ernest Gaines (really fantastic story)

    The Coal Black Horse by Robert Olmstead (it's been a long time since I read it, but I remember loving it a lot)


    As far as books I had to read for school that I actually really enjoyed, it would be the following:
    One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
    To Kill a Mockingbird
    The Jungle
    The Crucible
    Catcher in the Rye
    Anthem
    In Cold Blood
    Lord of the Flies

    I highly suggest:

    Weird & Wonderful: 18 Holiday Themed Romances Featuring Unusual and Unlikely Holidays of All Stripes




    And if you liked Crewel Intentions from that, or like queer, paranormal romances I point you toward:

    Hunger Pangs By Joy Demorra

    I've been reading The Night Circus recently. (: It's a rather slow-paced book but it's so well-written.
    If you're east-Asian I also recommend Crazy Rich Asians, it's filled with classic Asian family tropes and slang. It's like a book full of inside jokes.

    I just started reading Crazy Rich Asians. More jokes then sence. I also can mention the book I've finished lately - Book Thief by Zusak. It was my college task to write an essay on the book but I was too interested and finished the book in one week. I've got problems with writing process so I used help but it doesn't change the fact I read the book with pleasure and recommend it everyone who ever heard of Marcus Zusak
