Post the book you're currently reading, if you're enjoying it so far and if you'd recommend to others!

Feel free to come back and do a mini review when you're finished too.

Here is what I'm currently reading (spoiler to not clog up the first post, not for actual spoilers)

What a neat idea @(you need an account to see links)!

I have not read Midnight Library, but it sounds vaguely familiar, somehow.

I am currently rereading The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. I know that Circe really made the rounds when it came out (and I've read it!) but I think that Song of Achilles is better written and more compelling. I would argue that it's one of the best love stories I've ever read - I weep every time because everything about the way that the characters are written and brought together is :chef's kiss:.

Depending on how we decide to define "currently" it's either 'nothing' or about six different books i've read at least the start of, but then got distracted.

I recently reorganized my books and pulled off all the ones in that category, plus a few of my more recent purchases, and set them aside. I can see them from my desk while I work. Maybe I'll finally get to them.

My current obsession is Gideon the Ninth, the first book of The Locked Tomb trilogy!

LESBIAN NECROMANCERS

that is all.

(Actually it's not all - it's got excellent worldbuilding, horror, necromancy, fantasy, murder mystery... lesbians... it's REALLY good, with excellent meme references that I did not expect. It's gothic horror mixed with contemporary humor.)

Plot summary (spoiler-free):

The second book is called Harrow the Ninth, and the third - yet unreleased - is called Alecto the Ninth. I can't wait!

Those books are so great ! I think I loved "Harrow The Ninth" and "Nona the Ninth" even more than the first book. I can't wait for the fourth one to come out.

I'm currently reading "House of Niccolo" by Dorothy Dunnett. It's the prequel to one of my favourite series, the Lymond Chronicles.
It's set in 15th century Europe, Russia and middle East. It's great?.

My brother gifted me Bram Stoker's Dracula and I'm enjoying it soooo much

The dark atmosphere and the classic writing style is delightful! I know that it's a very popular book but, for anyone that never read it before, I was pleasantly surprised that it is written in a epistolary form. It makes me feel closer to the narrator. I can't wait to finish it!

I actually started reading the Witcher series after watching the Netflix season. Totally wish I had read them before watching the series as it would have made way more sense hah. I haven't had a chance to sit and read for a while I should get back into it.

Thank you all for expanding my 'to read' list (and you, @(you need an account to see links), for expanding my vocab with epistolary)

Currently reading Whisper Network by Chandler Baker. Similar to previous read in that it rates highly with 50k odd ratings. It has a slow start (I actually started it months ago and got bored) but am persevering and it is picking up at roughly 40% in. Definitely not something I want to binge read, but entertaining enough so far. Seems a bit stuck between what type of book it wants to be with chapters of "me too" mishmashed with police interviews about a suspicious death

we shall see...

Oops, edited because I thought I posted in the music thread!

I've currently been reading Death at SeaWorld by David Kirby. I'm really interested in animal welfare and the many unexplored aspects of it.

oh oh oh this thread is everything, very eager to get more books on my everlasting to-read list!!

these days I primarily just read Drarry fics in my free time to fill the void but when I was younger I'd go on HUGE book binges where I'd just spend days tearing through ~10 books to get my fill of reading for a year. xD always YA fantasy/action/adventure/romance for the most part

currently reading (well, dropped lol)

Some things on my to-read list, suggested by others

The last couple series I read personally over the years that I recall/enjoyed

I need more fantasy romance recs, + points if it's m/m bc that's my current kick
