What Are You Reading, Part 2

[Robin Sedai she/her]

Agatha Christie, the greatest mystery writer of all time

[Wittles he/him]

I'm actually reading Death on the Nile right now

[Robin Sedai she/her]

Ha, that's amazing! I just finished a Miss Marple short story collection, and I'll be reading Third Girl next.

[SymphonianBookworm she/her]

@Robin Sedai Do you prefer Miss Marple or Poirot?

[solarcat she/her]

I'm reading Ender's Game while waiting for The Well of Ascension to be at my library again (I have it on hold).

Ender’s Game was really good. Just wait until you get to the end…

Miss Marple, definitely. Much like Agatha herself I find Poirot a bit annoying at times. Still great books, though.

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

Ashes of Man is finally out!  Ahh, I'm so excited, The Sun Eater is my favorite ongoing sci-fi series!

Okay, I'll read it today. I'm only on page 70 since I was busy this weekend but I have 2 days off e

[Lord Gregorio he/him]

I just finished Elantris for the first time and.... It was alright I guess. Hrathen was the best part.

[curon he/him]

Fairy Tale by Stephen King. Pretty nice! 

[+Slowswift]

The House of Blades by Will Wight. I understand there's some decent crossover between Sanderson fans and Wight fans, so nabbed the series when it was on sale. I'm greatly enjoying it so far!

[Spren of Kindness she/her]

I'm up to Towers of Midnight in the Wheel of Time reread, and going pretty slowly.  I'm so close now...

I did finish Ashes of Man, and.  Oh boy.  It's not often that I read a book once and know that I want to buy it for my personal collection.  To be fair, I already have book one, but this really encouraged me to track down the others.

I also read two books by the author Amanda Dykes, those being All The Lost Places and Yours Is The Night.  These were both really good, especially since I'm really in the mood for happy endings right now.

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

I just re-read Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card.

Now I'm re-reading Xenocide, and after that, Children of the Mind.

[Stick The Savant]

I almost done with The Crystal Shard by R. A. Salvatore and I am pleasantly surprised

[Wittles he/him]

I just started the Rithmatist.

Yep.

[Lord Gregorio he/him]

Anyone have some good clean-ish recommendations for like classic books. I need some books to read to improve my understanding of writing. Stuff like The old man and the sea. Classic good stuff that isn't inappropriate.

[Telrao she/her]

I am currently re-reading Elantris... for the fourth time... and the second time in the past week... *nervous laughter*

The Secret Garden, anything Agatha Christie, Peter Pan, Jekyll and Hyde.

 

I'm rereading the Famous Five series, it was what got me to love reading when I was a tiny tiny child. They're less good than I remember but that's to be expected after nearly ten years  

I read the first four yesterday and I just started the fifth one now.

[Eluvianii he/him]

Malazan won me over as soon as it mentioned dunking cats into a well. 

[The cheeseman Don't you dare go Hollow!]

I started The Book Thief last night. Loving it so far.

Also about halfway through The Path of Daggers audiobook, also loving that. Recently, I have finished A Crown of Swords, by Robert Jordan, and The Dragonbone Chair, by Tad Williams. Both great books.

[Briar King]

Finished up reread of Night Angel 2 and started 3 yesterday. I should finish in time for Night Angel 4 release next month.

Im so bogged down in my rerereread of WoT 10 after getting to Perrin the Whipped sections. Only have managed about 50 pgs the past month. It was smooth sailing before I saw that rusting wolf image on title. 

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

I finished In the Shadow of Lightning by Brian McClellan, and wow, just, wow. Definitely recommend it. That epilogue was something else.

Am now rereading An Echo of Things to Come.

I am also almost done listening to Good Omens. Mixed opinions.

And I just started the short story anthology Rogues.

[Use the Falchion]

I read all 11 Cradle books by Will Wight in about 6 days (Saturday through Thursday), so that was fun! They're pretty short reads (the first five combined are still shorter than the first two Stormlight books combined, at about 530k words or so) and never get too dark, so I enjoyed them. I plan on exploring more of the Progression Fantasy genre, but this was a good and fun start. I don't plan on revising the series anytime soon, but I eagerly await Book 12 in June.
