I have read her Shadow and Bone trilogy and it was interesting, in a good way. I wanted to watch the TV series based on the books but I never did. I'll probably continue the series at some point, there are more stories that take place in the world that she crafted.

Started Foxmask, the second book in the Saga of the Light Isles by Juliet Marillier. I read book one in April and liked it quite a bit. Most of what I have read by Juliet Marillier has been to my liking.

Chances are that they are not my neighbor, ha ha. Each reader has their own personal taste in books, many people may not be interested in the same genres and authors as me. I didn't even list on Craigslist, that might have drawn a local crowd, but then again I don't know... out here in the sticks. The road is paved, not…

My FINAL attempt to get rid of books by the side of the road was today. I put out 10 boxes this time, set up on the truck tailgate and the ground (single layers with the spines facing up, like authors grouped). Almost nobody stopped. I thought maybe holiday weekend traffic and a weekend day might help? It did not. At the…

I may be necroing an older thread, I do that from time to time :smile: I rarely watch the movie or television show based off a book that was good. I would rather enjoy the author's art for itself. Under the Dome by Stephen King is a good example, the show was terrible! I never watch a movie or show and then read the book…

Bacchanal by Veronica Henry. This is her debut novel, historical fiction fantasy, and I checked it out from Kindle Unlimited.

Tool of War (Ship Breaker) by Paolo Bacigalupi

The Backstabbers (Red Ryan #2) by William W. Johnstone

Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley

Firefight (The Reckoners, #2) by Brandon Sanderson

I haven't gotten any established relationships with any institutions to know what sorts of books they are looking for to stock a library yet. Many of my books are eclectic in taste (SFF or thrillers and the like) and many are incomplete series as well. I do have a set of Lee Child "Jack Reacher" thrillers mixed between…

11/22/63 by Stephen King

Wild Country (The Others, #7) by Anne Bishop

I am 74% complete with this book and still have 12 hours to go on audiobook. It is long!

The Winds of War by Herman Wouk

Cluster by Piers Anthony

I am about to start The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi. My library hold came in!

That is on my TBR list. I own an audiobook copy of the trilogy along with the e-book version for immersion reading. I hope it's good. I'm reading Genuine Fraud by E. Lockhart. It didn't rate very highly on Goodreads and it isn't that great, but I will finish it.

That is how books are released in a series, if you read them when they get released. Terry Brooks' books are a year apart and in the same series. I don't save them all up until the series is finished to read them, I read them as they come out. That being said, because I read so many books in a short time I try to limit the…

Sometimes we need to read something light and fun. Alias Grace was a great book but pretty intense. I am now reading Morgawr (The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara trilogy book 3) by Terry Brooks, it is a lighter fantasy that I last read many years ago.

Read How it Went Down by Kekla Magoon. This was an immersion read with the audiobook, narrated by many voices. I rated it 4 stars. Now reading Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood.

Blood Memory by Greg Iles

Steelheart (The Reckoners, #1) by Brandon Sanderson

Past Tense (Jack Reacher book 23) by Lee Child

Three Hearts and Three Lions by Poul Anderson

Wolfskin was a 5 star read, I have liked everything by Juliet Marillier that I have read. More mythology than fantasy. I read Riding Shotgun (Red Ryan #1) by William W. Johnstone with J.A. Johnstone, it was ok for a cheesy western. Now I am reading Hawk, which continues James Patterson's Maximum Ride series with a new…

I read and enjoyed Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein, and found it to be a lot different than I expected. This was my first Heinlein book and was written in 1959. I had in mind the (bad) movie I saw but I was surprised that it wasn't like that at all. A lot of philosophical discussion in the book for a sci-fi, some…

Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein

Lightning Down: A World War II Story of Survival by Tom Clavin I needed a non-fiction book for a kindle challenge and this story of a downed airman who was sent to Buchenwald death camp fits the criteria.

The Drowned Cities (Ship Breaker, #2) by Paolo Bacigalupi Same world (fantasy/scifi) as Ship Breaker, but different story and characters.
