    I'm working on my own novel, does that count as reading? Current audio book is If We Ever Meet Again by Ana Huang.

    I'm a reader. I read every night from 9-11 and some random times by the pool. Lol I just finished Stephen Kings "The Institute" after 1 week of not being able to put it down. I just started 11/22/63 and so far it's pretty good. I also am sporadically reading The Conplete guide to Hunting, butchering, and cooking wild game volume 1. Why? Glad you asked. With the way our economy is going I'm set on learning useful skills and my choices were quilting, pottery, butchering and hunting, or building a green house. Lol I figured I'd master hunting and butchering first and then move on to quilting a sewing, like a real lady. 🤣😜

    Yesterday I read A Useful Woman by Darcie Wilde. Sort of a myrder mystery set in the British Georgian era.

    The day before, I finally finished The Shuddering
    City     by Sharon Shinn, which I can't really describe briefly but is utterly Shinn and I enjoyed a great deal.

    Working on Identity by Nora Roberts. I usually enjoy her books but this one is really irritating, mostly because I have been the victim of identity theft and...well, that's not how it works. If this had been written 20 years ago...well, it's still wrong but might be understandable, maybe. But outside of that, is a decent read.

    Is this any good? I read the synopsis so probably will add this to my goodreads list.

    The writing is far better than many of the modern books I’ve read and listened to recently. I’m only a little more than halfway through it now so I’m not sure if it’s going to have a satisfying ending. It is of course somewhat melodramatic due to the genre

    I am enjoying it

    What an interesting thread. Realizing I had stopped reading, for 2023 I cajoled a friend into an informal book club.

    I picked a book, we read a chunk then scheduled a phone call, until completing it. Then he picked a book, and so on to where I've read five books so far this year.

    There are categories of book readers. I'm reticent to separate us, but I am squarely not in the "I love to read," reading for pleasure group anymore. A stylistic compelling story that finds me turning the pages is no longer my oeuvre.

    He picked Atwood's A Handmaidens Tale. After a third of the book I see she is a gifted author. The story is moving along, and the strange scene is set. Upon finishing it I'll look at things a bit differently, be more plugged into it's role in our society, and I'll be glad I read it. And I'll be happy to move onto some other genre.

    A poorly written book with an insightful powerful point of view sticks with me. Brownie points if it is well written. I like thinking about and discussing these new points of view, integrating them into my world view, more than reading the next book on the shelf. I'm discovering this is the category of reader I currently am.
