I absolutely LOVE Terry Brooks' Shannara series, but I didn't like his Landover series. Be interested to hear how this new series shapes up.2

Doing another Thursday Next book. If you've read too many English novels, Jasper Fforde has the series for you!1

I finished it last night - gave it 5 stars. It had the same feel as the one he wrote a long time ago- The Eyes of the Dragon. I loved that one as well.
Now reading - The Boys from Biloxi by John Grisham. It's the one I won on GoodReads.2 -

Be sure to review it on Goodreads, I made the mistake of not reading or reviewing a book I won there and didn't win again for a looooong time. I have won twice, one was a personalized signed copy of a book, I made sure to review that one. I think in the fine print somewhere when you enter they say they want you to review it.
I'm reading the next Grishaverse book by Leigh Bardugo, King of Scars. I am also finally watching the Shadow and Bone series on Netflix. I'm glad I read the first 2 series before the show, so I can follow what is going on with Alina's story and Kaz's which alternate in the show.1 -
A friend recommended Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe so I'm moving it up on my to-read list.1

I've seen that in the contest rules as well. I'll have to remember to. It's not something I often do and mine are fairly short. I hate spoilers.

That is why I don't leave reviews, or read them before a book. Also, I reviewed a book once and criticized the author's ignorant views on mental illnesses and he berated me with cursing in the comments! I deleted the comment and I think I turned commenting off on my reviews after that. That was at Goodreads, I try not to take it personally but I decided that reviews were mostly a waste of my time.
I have been offline for the most part for 16 days due to a broken internet service provider. We got a new one tonight, it is 20 times faster for half the price. I should be back and able to concentrate on reading once again. I'm still finishing King of Scars by Leigh Bardugo and should be done Thursday. In the meantime I read Kill All Happies by Rachel Cohn on audiobook.1 -
Glad you're back!!1

Highly recommend. If you read and liked We Were Liars, it does spoil that book somewhat but it was a long while ago that I read that one and I didn't remember much of it (other than I enjoyed it a lot). It wasn't necessary to have a working memory of book 1 to enjoy the prequel.2 -
Something Wicked This Way Comes
by Ray Bradbury1 -
The Innocent Man by John Grisham1

Refugee by Alan Gratz1

Starting Say Nothing: A True Story of Murder and Memory in Northern Ireland by Patrick Radden Keefe.1

I'm just finishing up Empire's End (Star Wars: Aftermath, #3) by Chuck Wendig. What will be next? The sky is the limit. I have a couple of books in mind, but might change it before I get there...1
-
The Iceman (WW II Navy book 5) by P.T. Deutermann was very good.
Now I am reading a Kindle Unlimited western selection, The Chuckwagon Trail by William W. Johnstone with J.A. Johnstone.1 -
The Blue Sky by Galsan Tschinag1
-
Finally finished Boys from Biloxi - 3.5* rounded up because I usually like John Grisham more than I did this book. Part of it might have been my recent reading slump, but most of it was I just didn't connect with the characters. Did manage to leave a short review since I won it on Goodreads.
Now reading a silly little book - The Vampire Knitting Club. I started it just to have something to do while sitting in the salon having my hair colored. It's entertaining so far - a nice little mental floss after all the gangsters.

Glad to see your comments on Family of Liars. I actually read We Were Liars not long before this one came out. It's been sitting on my TBR pile because I didn't want it to take away from a book that I really enjoyed.1 -
Rule of Wolves (King of Scars, #2)

I loved it, but it was tragic, full of dramatically tragic moments. An Orchestra of Minorities by that same author was the same way, I loved them both. Some people find it depressing.
I'm reading A River Runs Through It and Other Stories by Norman Maclean. I will pause when I get to the "other stories" because my hold on Realm Breaker by Victoria Aveyard came in today at the library and I only get 2 weeks on that one.1 -
The Fishermen is so well written that it's heartbreaking....
I'll need something "light" next. Hope The Bangalore Dectective Club by Harini Nagendra fits that bill.1
