Also reading The House of Unexpected Sisters by Alexander McCall Smith. This series is somewhat similar, even though it takes place in far-off Botswana. Characters with moral fiber and family values make you feel as though you're visiting with old friends!

I have not heard of it. It looks interesting I may have to check it out. Thanks!

I love love love this series!
Also, trying out a new author that was recommended to me. This book is free, and so are a few 1st books in series by this author.


This is what I’ll be reading for that prompt too! But I have no intention of doing the prompts in order, so right now I am reading The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley (forgot which prompt it’s for though!). I am only 10% in, but loving it already.
I’m also reading Renegades by Marissa Meyer. I think it’s got every cliche in the superhero genre, but I also think superheroes are the one subject that can get away with it. It’s pretty fun.

finished a couple great books over the last few weeks/months:



Currently reading:

Switched

Cute and harmless so far. Safe enough to read to baby vampires.

Admittedly, baby ones are rare.
PS: Book was pretty good (and harmless). I think it will be 4+ stars for most middle school readers, whether they are vampires or bunnies*
*read the book, I'm not giving spoilers :p
The Book of Secrets, so far this book is cute. I am curious to see what this library is all about. "Abernathy’s Bookstore, it’s the world’s only living oracle producing prophecies to help fight the war against alien invaders bent on draining this world of its magic."


5 stars. I loved it!
Reading ebook

A freebie.
Not enjoying this all that much. Will probably be a 2 star.
Reading physical book

This one is pretty good. Written with the tone of mystery detective instead of urban fantasy. A 3 or 4 star read. We'll see!




And I'm super excited cuz I ordered The Color of Magic Discworld #1 by Pratchett. I've heard such good things!!


Right now I am re-reading Stephen King's "'salem's Lot" and afterwards plan to track down a copy of "The Tommyknockers." I started this book long ago, becoming thoroughly engrossed in my roommate's copy, then she moved out and I was devastated -- not because she left but because she took the book when I was in the middle of reading it!😂

I love thrillers and scary books! You have great books you are reading or will start reading soon!

Then I thought of beginning to read S. Kings serie of "The black tower".



The name of the book is (in Swedish) "Om ett missfoster". In English it means "About a freak". The author is Pauline Wågström. :) She wrote about herself, how she made it through school and so on.
I am currently reading Armada by Ernest Cline the one who did ready player one. I like it, it has so many throwbacks to the 80's which I love. Armada




The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle(for the second time)
Mail Order Mama by Kirsten Osbourne
The Immortal Circus by A. R. Kahler
I finished the Green Ember series by S. D. Smith and wanting more.
