    Harbinger by Wen Spencer...about six books into the Tinker/Elfhome series. Spencer is a good read.

    Ironically, it’s a bit more dry than I expected it to be. But reading about the cultural and historical impacts of beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and Coca-Cola through the ages was pretty enlightening. I am on the final segment now.

    Re-reading the first book I wrote, Dragon Born, as I get ready to do a final round of edits to my sequel. I'm hoping to make sure I didn't inadvertently add some incorrect reference or logical conundrum.

    I can't hardly wait till it's out!!!!!!!!!!

    The Girl In Room16 by Eva Sparks. - I have not read any of her books. It got my attention on the first page so I think it will be good.

    Kindle: David Hough - Prestwick (Danger in the Sky Book 1)

    Physical Book: Betty Tottell - All Four Engines Have Failed

    Because of my sensory issues I struggle with holding a physical book for too long, that's why I moved onto the Kindle (iPad app) a few years ago, but I really wanted to read All Four Engines Have Failed, however, it has never been digitised, so it's physical book or nothing in that case - it is very rare book & I really struggled to get a copy of it, but now I have it I will treasure it.

    Prestwick is a fictional story of an air incident, but I'm not a fan of fiction unless it is about something I'm genuinely interested in, & I am a self-confessed aviation geek, so I have to read all three books in the series.

    I have 2 going

    The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson

    White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America by Nancy Isenberg

    I always seem to have 2 books on the go, I think for me it's because of the kind of things I read, sometimes they get very heavy & deep, so I then have a second book on the go which is a bit lighter & not so involved, or complex 😆

    I'm into political history, aviation, nuclear energy & stories of real-life triumph, my hubby used to say "What depressing story of disasters, mass genocide & civil unrest are you reading about at the moment?" 🤣😂🤣

    Since Uni I usually can't stand reading physical books anymore without falling asleep. So for me it's mostly audio books these days.
    Current book is: Crossroads of twilight by Robert Jordan, book 10 in the Wheel of Time series.

    I love this fantasy series. I've read it in Swedish and English and also listened to the series at least 4 times now and still find new things to discover.

    I gave up after the 7th installment. I got put off by her personal life getting in the way, I felt it went too much into romance and childcare than I could handle...

    I’m usually a little skeptical of popular fiction that you can buy in Target, but I think it’s just because I’m a snob and I need to get over myself. Plus I really enjoyed The Dutch House
