Bibliophiles?

[stasianary]

Have you read any good books lately? I always love hearing other books that people have read.

I love mysteries/thrillers or YA best.

I loved "All The Girls I've Been" by Tess Sharpe. It's about a girl who was raised by her con-woman mother. She ends up in a bank during a heist with her ex-boyfriend and her girlfriend. It's really fun and exciting! I even preordered the sequel and I saw that Netflix is going to make a show! Super excited about that.

"The Agathas" by Kathleen Glasgow and Liz Lawson is about two girls who love Agatha Christie novels and use the author as inspiration to solve a mystery. There is a second book in the series too. Fun YA Mystery.

Do you have a book or two you'd recommend?

I love reading and everything about books, but my schedule these last few months has been beyond hectic. I've only managed to read one book: The Seven Sisters by Lucinda Riley. I liked it enough that now I have to go find/buy all the others in the series. One down 7 to go!

and i LOVE YOU for it.. even if this last year i've been sort of bad with rating mine I LOVE your new siggy too!

I will come back with the books i've read/listened to lately!

[GraceLee]

Oh heyyy time to show off my new siggy!

I read for a living currently (English grad student) so I don't have much time to read for fun, but some of the readings I did for this past semester were great! I love The Talk by Darrin Bell, who has won the Pulitzer prize for his political cartoons. This graphic memoir is about the talk he got from his mother when he was young why he couldn't play with a realistic looking water gun... and it goes on from there to explore the themes of racism. Great book, visually and thematically.

A Map of Home by Randa Jarrar is a coming-of-age story of a girl who grew up in Kuwait and Egypt and moved to the U.S. after the gulf war. Timely, though the war was really only the backdrop. Most of the book is her exploration of gender norms, sexuality, and relationship with her family, and how she found fulfillment in education and creative writing. Really funny novel, reads quick!

Anastasia and Amie, thanks for the recs. I'm determined to read something for fun this summer and I'll check those out!

OOh.... I'll be following this thread! I like to read but haven't had time to really sit down and read. What reading I'm doing is in form of prepping for school next fall... building up the media studies we are going to be doing... so what I do read at night to get back to sleep is not very brain challenging... haha.

I've been on a clean rom-com kick - only fluffy story lines. I've enjoyed the following series with my Kindle Unlimited Membership:

Love Cliches Sweet Rom-Com series by Emma St Clair
Appies Hockey Series by Emma St Clair
- starts with Just Don't Fall and then continues here
Holidays with Hart series by Courtney Walsh

A less fluffy series I enjoyed was the Muir Harbor series by Melissa Tagg

Also liked Yumi & the Nightmare Painter and Tress of the Emerald Sea by Brandon Sanderson

The Girl Who Wrote in Silk. Loved it. Takes a time in history, in the Pacific Northwest, that I did not know too much about. It's a very moving story.

[StacyLynn]

I haven't had as much time to read lately... too much going on but....

I am currently on book 5 of the A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J Maas and have loved all of them!
