I started Ghost Story by Peter Straub. I'm about a quarter through it and really enjoying it.
Yesterday I started a book by an italian author that caught my attention: Eleanor Cole delle Galassie Orientali. A sciFi with magical elements and a touch of horror.
I will be starting The Dark Tower series..
Again.. :)
I just finished Fairy Tale, and thought it was a great read. Some of my all time favorites are Eyes of the Dragon and The Talisman, so it makes sense that Fairy Tale would be another fave. I’ve also got On Writing in progress, so going back to that, as well as Wool from the Silo series.
Golden Son by Pierce Brown.“Tell all who will hear, the Reaper sails to Mars. And he calls for an Iron Rain”.

I love those three as well. He does such a fantastic job of writing from the viewpoint of the young, and the fairy tale aspect is a bonus.
Currently reading Thunderstruck by Eric Larson.Would anyone like to buddy read this with me?
I'm new to goodreads and am not sure exactly how a buddy read
works so would like to know more about it as well. Thanks so much.
I am re reading The Lemon Tree by Sandy Tolan
For my church book club.
I'm currently reading A Child Alone With Strangers which owes a lot to King, in characters and subject matter. There are definitely nods to The Shining at the very least. I will probably pick up End of Watch or If It Bleeds soon.

Hope you'll consider reading Stephen King's "Finders Keepers" with the group book read for March.

Just finished The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides. 5 stars
Yesterday I started Sherlock Holmes Through Time and Space, an interesting collection of novel that directly or indirectly are based on Sherlock Holmes. The first novel is a classical by Conan Doyle, the other I think are more of sciFi genre by other authors.

sounds like a fun and interesting read. Please keep us updated via your "currently reading" section on your homepage!
Valerie wrote: "Andrew✌️ wrote: "Yesterday I started Sherlock Holmes Through Time and Space, an interesting collection of novel that directly or indirectly are based on Sherlock Holmes. The first nove..."Ok, Valerie! I guess every novel, except the first by Conan Doyle, is a mix between a mystery and a sciFi novel, in some way linked to Holmes that is the main character or supporting one. We will see.😀

I really enjoyed Project Hail Mary too, but regarding your spoiler, I actually worried (view spoiler)

You need not prioritize this book, Poirot plays a minor, and unsatisfying, role. There are MANY other Poirot novels that are much better: Murder on the Orient Express, Murder on the Nile, Murder in Mesopotamia, etc. Enjoy!
Currently reading Thyme of Death for the Cozy Mystery Corner group read.Am also reading A Bed by the Window: A Novel Of Mystery And Redemption by the author of The Road Less Travelled : The New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth
