I am now reading Upgrade by Blake Crouch. It’s hard to put down, I like him better than Michael Crichton which he reminds me of.

I agree with Doug - Outlander books are great. I've read the first 4. Need to pick that series back up and continue on.

I've finished The Nightingale - Kristin Hannah- definitely 5 stars. Need something a little lighter after that, so next up is The Silkworm - Robert Galbraith. I really enjoyed the first one in the series - The Cuckoo's Calling. Also, it is one that I have had around for quite sometime - so works for my goal of clearing out older stuff.

I finished Run by Blake Crouch and I'm now reading a series of shorts that Crouch published with Amazon, they are novellas by famous authors that he chose to each write a story in a theme.

Each story is stand alone but part of the theme. One of the authors is Veronica Roth, who wrote the awesome series Divergent (You should read it!) and one of them is Amor Towles (A Gentleman in Moscow, The Lincoln Highway). Crouch writes one of them too.

I read the first 4 of the 6 last night, they are pretty short reads. The Blake Crouch one and the Amor Towles one were 5 stars! The series is called The Forward Collection and it is available in Kindle Unlimited (with audio narration if you want to use it).

I finally finished Babel. Whew. I was disappointed...
Now I'm reading a nonfiction book about a world-famous seedbank in the Soviet Union during WWII: The Forbidden Garden: The Botanists of Besieged Leningrad and Their Impossible Choice. It's an amazing story.

I read the Every Day trilogy by David Levithan, it was YA, kind of fantasy but not sword and sorcery or anything remotely similar to that type of fantasy. The teenager woke up every day in a different body, inhabiting another person's life for a day. It was a cool series.

I'm finishing book 2 of Jack Campbell's sci-fi series The Lost Stars, titled Perilous Shield. I don't want to stray too far from the series or I will forget what is going on, but the next book will be longer I think.

Because I read those novella books I am 16 books ahead on my Goodreads challenge, that number is kind of arbitrary... It is the first year I have set a number for the Goodreads challenge, generally I just read what I read and the number of books doesn't make any difference (or number of pages, because that is all relative to format as well). I have a lot of long books in my TBR pile but I don't know what I want to read next yet.
