    Listening to The Sleeping Doll - Jeffery Deaver - pretty good. Anyone who listens to audio or reads ebooks might want to check out Overdrive.com. Links with your personal local library that you belong to and has an app you can download to listen to books on your device or computer. You can check out 5 'books' at a time and they expire after 14 days. All free :) It's awesome! Msg me if you need help to figure it out!

    This is why I haven't read any ebooks from my library. 14 days is not long enough for me. Sure, if a books is good enough I can read it within a week, but most of the time I'm just reading at work out of boredom and only off an on.

    But thank you for posting this regardless of my feelings on it, lol!

    I have only not finished a book once in the 14 days and I just took it back out again..although I listen to audio books and luckily for me, no one else had put a hold on it but yes...I suppose it is not for everyone :)

    Is that an E book or audio? I've never loaned an ebook, so maybe that is longer? Audio book for me is only 14 days in Ontario Canada...maybe different regions have different rules lol

    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...

    This one is my very favorite from the series!

    I LIKE it. I just can't stay awake to read it :lol: Soooo close.

    Have you seen the movie? I was very disappointed.

    I have not. Heard it was a mess though! Too bad. I'll probably watch it someday, but in no hurry.

    I've read a few fiction escapism books by John Sandford but about to get back to reading through Hemingway and finish Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

    It by Stephen King. I’ve always loved his novels and wanted to read this one before seeing the film.

    Just finished Into the Water by Paula Hawkins and Since We Fell by Dennis Lehane. Almost done with Hidden Bodies by Caroline Kepnes.

    Did you read/enjoy Paula's previous book and would you recommend this one based on that?

    I love general science books and I'm currently reading A Crack in Creation: Gene Editing and the Unthinkable Power to Control Evolution. @unfilterednate If you like that you should read his play Marx in Soho. @JeepHair77 Have you read her book Her Fearful Symmetry? Still get the chills when I remember bits of that plot

    @katenix08 I would absolutely read another one of Howard's books, thanks for the suggestion I'll look it up. My next book is Alvin Toffler's Future Shock.. I find it interesting that you're reading about genetics, I also have an interest I recently finished a book about mitochondrial eve.

    Current book reads are The Glass Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg, Company Town by Madeline Ashby and A Gathering of Shadows by V.E.Schwab. Also reading the graphic novels Saga by Brian K. Vaughan and Fables by Bill Willingham. There are a few other books I am sort of reading but have put down for the time being.

    Have you read Find Her by Lisa Gardner? I had never read any of her books until this one and now I'll have to put her name on my list of authors to read.
