Welcome! I don't tend to set a goal, I just read as I can. I don't have my yearly averages totaled yet, but I do keep track on Goodreads and in a spreadsheet. I primarily use "immersion reading" with a text and an audiobook at the same time, so I know how many hours I have read per year and per day when I calculate that…

Morning Star (Red Rising book 3) by Pierce Brown

My current Tsundoku. I am down to 7 shelving units of unread books (and I can't count the kindle collection):

If Amazon does not stop selling "on sale" kindle books that are good (many have been from my lists lately) I am going to go broke!

Guns of the Dawn by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Well my eyes were dilated at my exam today so I am listening to an audiobook, I can't read very well. I am looking forward to that dilation going away. My new glasses came in and are great! I'm listening to The Trumpet of the Swan by E. B. White

I like to keep only one at a time. Some people watch many television shows concurrently so I guess it might be similar? I'm reading A Hill of Bean (Chuckwagon Trail Western book 3) by William W. Johnstone with J.A. Johnstone.

Star Wars: Bloodline by Claudia Gray

I loved it, but it was tragic, full of dramatically tragic moments. An Orchestra of Minorities by that same author was the same way, I loved them both. Some people find it depressing. I'm reading A River Runs Through It and Other Stories by Norman Maclean. I will pause when I get to the "other stories" because my hold on…

Rule of Wolves (King of Scars, #2) by Leigh Bardugo

The Iceman (WW II Navy book 5) by P.T. Deutermann was very good. Now I am reading a Kindle Unlimited western selection, The Chuckwagon Trail by William W. Johnstone with J.A. Johnstone.

I'm just finishing up Empire's End (Star Wars: Aftermath, #3) by Chuck Wendig. What will be next? The sky is the limit. I have a couple of books in mind, but might change it before I get there...

Refugee by Alan Gratz

The Innocent Man by John Grisham

Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury

Highly recommend. If you read and liked We Were Liars, it does spoil that book somewhat but it was a long while ago that I read that one and I didn't remember much of it (other than I enjoyed it a lot). It wasn't necessary to have a working memory of book 1 to enjoy the prequel.

Family of Liars (We Were Liars #0) by E. Lockhart

The Princess and the Scoundrel (Star Wars) by Beth Revis. I sense a theme lately...

3 stars for Star Wars: Padawan by Kiersten White. Now reading Star Wars: Aftermath by Chuck Wendig.

That is why I don't leave reviews, or read them before a book. Also, I reviewed a book once and criticized the author's ignorant views on mental illnesses and he berated me with cursing in the comments! I deleted the comment and I think I turned commenting off on my reviews after that. That was at Goodreads, I try not to…

Be sure to review it on Goodreads, I made the mistake of not reading or reviewing a book I won there and didn't win again for a looooong time. I have won twice, one was a personalized signed copy of a book, I made sure to review that one. I think in the fine print somewhere when you enter they say they want you to review…

While I had no internet connection over the entire weekend I read Stephen King's newest novel Fairy Tale. It was 4 stars.

I put the new Stephen King on my reading list but the new Terry Brooks came out and I want to read that one first. I have both. I had to reread last year's Terry Brooks book because this new one is a sequel, Daughter of Darkness follows book 1, Child of Light. I don't remember reading book 1 at all. What is happening to my…

I bought that one and it is high on my TBR pile but library books keep coming in. I read Zoe's Tale (Old Man's War #4) and now on to book 5, The Human Division by John Scalzi. Most entertaining series!

The Language of Thorns by Leigh Bardugo

War and Remembrance by Herman Wouk (1,400 pages so I will be at this one for a while)

I'm on to The Last Colony (Old Man's War #3) after reading the novella #2.5 last night. The novella was 100 pages, not much to it. I'm really enjoying this series so far.

The Ghost Brigades (Old Man's War #2) by John Scalzi

Old Man's War by John Scalzi (semi-humorous sci-fi)

Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
