    About to get back into Home Before Dark by Riley Sager and then I'll be waiting for The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix to come out in July. Also going to start rereading Ariana Franklin's Mistress of the Art of Death series soon.

    I am currently on Book 2 of the Discovery of Witches series.

    After that, I'll probably read Orphan Train

    Stephen King Wizard and Glass (from the Dark Tower series), and it's taking for freaking ever because I keep falling asleep after a few pages...

    All of the Dark Tower books are great, but Wizard and Glass is my favorite.

    Don't know if it counts, but I'm currently listening to the audiobook, "The Whisper Man" by Alex North, while walking. It's a thriller, not my usual genre, but his soothing voice is pleasant to listen to... should be finished by the weekend.

    A soothing thriller. That's...funny. ☺

    I'm starting Your Leadership Edge by Ed O'Malley and Amanda Cebula for work. Just finished Burn Bright by Patricia Briggs (reread). Will probably read her Dead Heat again next. I'm just too tired to read anything new that requires cognition. And too intolerant after hand holding at work all day to read anything dumb (procedural mysteries, for example...the cat or dog or librarian solving crime).

    Haha. You're funny.

    Well said... his smooth, soft voice adds a sinister quality to the story. Think of the phrase, "Good Morning, Clarice".

    Interesting that when I have to use my thought processes so much during the day that my tunnel-brain is left utterly depleted, I like something to read which doesn't require much effort on my part. It's not as sophomoric as the dog solving the crime with the librarian (lol)... but, if this audiobook's plot turns out to flow in that direction, it will only be a 50% loss, due to aforementioned vocal tones. Readers described the story as frightening, so that's all I know & I'm looking forward to getting into it.

    When my brain is fried, I like 1970s US/UK punk journals to read. Might be simplistic stories, but they're filled with all sorts of debauchery & tales that makes one wonder why... like when you see the bldg jumpers in Russia who climb the tallest blds & do acrobatics/skateboarding on ledges not meant for human bodies to venture. Sure takes me on a ride akin to Iggy Pop & Courtney Love on a NYC sugar laden club crawl.

    Have a great weekend & enjoy your next book! I'll keep following your posts to see which you choose. :smile:

    So I found a copy of Wild Sign by Patricia Briggs at Walmart over the weekend. I don't usually buy books there for many reasons but I bought it.

    OMG!!! Totally WICKED! I like her books. Really. I've been reading her stuff since the Mercy Thompson series started (Iron Kissed about killed it for me, not because it wasn't good...but it was very...triggering). I went back and read all her earlier stuff. I like her. But this?!? WOW!

    I just finished How The Word Is Passed by Clint Smith and can't recommend it enough. He has a way with words and even his prose can often sound poetic.
    I'm now listening to The Masked Rider: Cycling in West Africa by Neil Peart. The first of his traveling books that I had initially read almost 25 years ago.

    Tanya Huff's The Better Part of Valor. Read Valor's Choice Sat and decided the series deserved another go. She's pretty funny.

    In my attempt to find something frivolous for light summer reading... Unwifeable: A Memoir by Mandy Standtmiller.

    I'm just beginning, so don't yet know what I'm reading, but... Courtney Love described it as 'dark, messy, scary good', so I had to try it. Cannot imagine what Courtney could possibly consider dark.

    just finished The Fisherman by John Langan- one of the best horror stories and books I've read in years. highly recommend.

    and just started The House on the Borderland by William Hodgson- old horror story that inspired a lot of writers of the same. good and creepy so far.

    Just finished Yes, We (Still) Can by Dan Pfeiffer. Not sure what my next book is going to be. Chuck Wendig's The Book of Accidents is coming out in a few days so I might hold off on starting another audio book, but I'm also in the middle of reading John Scalzi's Old Man's War.

    Weird one, but "On Occult Philosophy" (De Occulta Philosophia) by Cornelius Agrippa. Translated because my Latin isn't quite that good...

    And I started with vol. 2 because couldn't find vol. 1 :D

    Once you figure out what is actually taking place you better hope you have book 2.
