What book are you reading...

Work has been stressful lately so I just wanted a comfortable book to read that wasn't too much. Re-reading LotR. Its really not that long and its just a lovely read. I tend to only read for 30-60 minutes before bed so its a nice way to wind down.
 
"Pushing Ice" by Alastair Reynolds.

Both this and "The House of Suns" have got me back in to reading, gave up on quite a few books before.

Before these I was looking at books to start and a lot of them had a lot of books in the series, so I said I'm only going to read one and done books.
After both of these I'm now thinking "I really want to find out what happened to so and so" :)
 
Just finished the 14 books of the Wheel of Time. Enjoyed this very much and a little sad to know it's over (apart from the Prequel)

1 week short of a full 7 months to read them. I had thought it would take me longer to read in all honesty. Guess that's a sign of how much I enjoyed it.

Got a few in my TR list now:

1. A New Spring (WoT prequel)
2. Mercy of Gods - first book from the newest Captive's War series by James S.A Corey)
3. Livesuit (novella from Captive's War series)
4. Exodus - Book 1 from Archimedes Engine series
5. Red Rising
 
Just finished the "Three Body Problem", which is actually first of the trilogy. Not a bad read though some of the science went over my O-Level physics (most long forgotten) ancomplete failure to grasp calculus in "Additional Maths". Hopefully the library will have the second book "Dark Forest" when I pop in on Monday afternoon.
 
I finished Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman today. Short stories, most of them good.

There are lots of Neil Gaiman books in second-hand shops now. Sadly, I've already read most of them.
 
some may find it of interest for LitRPG, i was looking to read a few of these so its good timing. others may find it interesting

Read the original a few times over the last few years, so will be good to see what's updated

Be worth noting that books 2-4 are more Sci-Fi than fantasy, just in case you're not into that. I enjoyed The Expanse series hence why I'm looking at those books.

Enjoy the rest of Memory of Light. It's enjoyable and the end is not disappointing. A great series overall
 
Just finished The Daughters War by Christopher Buehlman.

Its a grim dark fantasy book about humans battling goblins.

It took me a while to get into it, it was a bit dark in places but i enjoyed it overall. 6.5/10.

Just starting book 2 in the series.
 
Finished Dark Angel by J. Sandford a couple of days ago. It's the second novel in the Letty Davenport series... The story/plot was entertaining enough, and I liked the author's attention to detail regarding the plot. I do wish I'd had found out more about the characters' background/past and motivation, though.

I hadn't read the first and third book of this series, but I might get to it in the future. I rate the book 7/10.

Currently reading Midnight Line, a Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child. A friend bought me this book as a birthday present. Just started it and there's plenty of action already, so I'm enjoying it.
 
I finished You Like It Darker, Stephen King's latest short story collection, last night.

It was ok- maybe a 6 or 7 out of ten. Not up to the very high standard of his other collections.
 
I finished Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman yesterday. Read that in 2 days

It was pretty good, but ended on a completely expected cliffhanger which is irritating.

The other books in the series are expensive, even second-hand, and the library don't have them so I can't see me reading those. I also suspect they will be rather samey...
