    I've got The Origin Mystery series set aside to read on my Bermuda cruise in a couple months - starting with The Atlantis Gene. Currently finishing up Abduction, by Dr. John E Mack, as well as The Disclosure Project, by Dr. Steven Greer. I just bought Spiritual AF by J.P. Sears, which is going to be a hilarious read. Living With Goats by Margaret Hathaway (author local to me) is about to get started as well. :)<3

    Side Note - I cannot get into using ipad/kindle for reading, even though it would make traveling with books much more efficient. I still need to touch and feel the book, smell the paper, dog-ear the pages, etc. It's so comforting.

    This week I finished up Final Girls (Riley Sager, pseudonym for some dude I hadn't heard of previously). It was just okay. It kept me reading, but it's pretty overrated in my opinion.

    It's funny how tastes are so subjective. I finished that last weekend and loved it.

    The A to Z of Victorian Crime

    I've only ever enjoyed non-fiction.

    true true!!

    It was good - but not nearly as good as I expected. I'm really glad you loved it, because I recommended it to a few people this week and wasn't sure if they would like it. Perhaps they will!

    Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

    That's my favorite of her books. I adore her writing. I mostly read thriller/suspense or speculative fiction or literary fiction and I love short fiction as well as novels.

    Ah yes!!! Sharp Objects is my favorite of hers too!

    It's challenging for me to keep up with most books, but 'Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' by Robert Pirsig has been a nice read so far :)

    I haven't started anything new recently but I've been downloading 100's to my kindle app. I prefer actual books but if it's the difference between boredom or reading.. I'll strain my eyes for a bit of entertainment. I don't watch tv and hate most movies. Reading, writing, and art are my only escapes. Well... there is also mudding which combines all three.. :smiley:
