    Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
    I have been on a Gaiman kick for a few years now. He tells a really good story and is pretty clever with words.

    This is only the 2nd book that I have read from him and I plan on reading more. I agree with you, very good with words. I really like his style, very captivating.

    ♥️♥️♥️ Gaiman! He does everything well!
    I’ve read and listened to American gods several times and the ocean at the end of the lane is one of my favorite stories.

    That’s one of the greatest books ever.

    I’m currently reading Principles by Ray Dalio.

    I just picked up Templar by Jordan Mechner and LeUyan Pham. Great graphic novel.

    I'm also reading Seveneves by Neal Stephenson.

    Finally gave in and read the inescapable 'Where The Crawdads Sing." Meh. I almost bailed midway from boredom but slogged on until the much-telegraphed ending. The author's publishing agent deserves a major private island bonus for propelling the book into the literary stratosphere.

    I'm reading The Choice by Dr. Edith Eger. Such a great book! I may have to buy my own copy.

    This is a good one. Also Games Criminals Play, which is not by the same author but...similar content. Mostly because criminals are...(wait for it!)....PEOPLE!

    I'm waiting for the the buzz to die down/off so I can have more reasonable expectations.

    This may be one of the rare exceptions where the film is better than the book.

    Such a good book with an extraordinarily unexpected twist at the end.

    Happy Go Lucky by David Sedaris-I’m a bigger fan of his earlier work but such a big fan I keep buying his new stuff.
    When You Look Like Your Passport Photo It’s Time to Go Home by Erma Bombeck- traveling overseas in December, my mom thought I would get a kick out of this

    revisiting the Lightbringer series on audible (Brent Weeks). I listened to the first two books a few years back and really enjoyed them, but ran out of books at the time. Great fantasy series if thats your genre, interesting magic system where they pull energy out of light, good plotlines and less gruesome than his Night Angle series which is also good.

    Reading Beachwood Harbors magic mystery series by Danielle Garrett, they are fun and light reads, I'm dissapointed she isn't pulling me into the story emotionally though. But good enough I'm still reading.

    Cabin at the end of the world
    Baby Teeth
    Misery
    The Maid
    The Invisible life of Addie Larue

    always looking for recommendations :)

    “Stay Close” by Harlan Coben. It also happens to be a highly binge worthy show on Netflix.

    Lonesome Dove. Only took me 37 years to get around to it. Still in the early chapters but understand why it won McMurtry a Pulitzer. Extraordinary character development.
