    This totally looks like a must read.

    I just finished the YA masterpiece "Front Desk" by Kelly Yang - and about to start Seth Rogen's "Yearbook"

    I'm cheesy about themes for my book club selections. I chose it for Father's Day and a lot of the member loved the idea (yay!). Let me know what you think.

    The Guardians by John Grisham, love it but scary to think about high numbers of wrongfully convicted inmates and the corruption behind it all. :(

    That's scary...but what's scarier (in the US) is the number of people in prison for truely stupid stuff (who would be better off sentenced to work requirements and paying restitution) who get out and end up hardened criminals because our system is broken, the record makes it exceptionally hard to get a job, and parole conditions are pretty crazy.

    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:
