Hopefully you'll like it :)

I'm currently reading Christine by Stephen King as part of a group read. It's so much fun re-reading his old works.

I've never read that one since I only read a few of his works. I think I like Under the Dome the most.

Reading A Short History of Indonesia: The Unlikely Nation? right now.

I'm currently reading "What I Carry" by Jennifer Longo. Well, at first I was sold by the beautiful cover but I liked it even more after I started reading it! Like a light reading but full of truth! Oh, and a little emotional, Jennifer Longo definitely got me!

Anyone has read Stolen Songbird by Danielle L. Jensen? I'm currently reading this book and I just love how the story was so intense from the beginning and makes me curious to read more. I wonder why the rating is below 4, because I found this book interesting tho.

I'm currently reading Circe by Madeline Miller!

currently reading When No One is Watching by Alyssa Cole

I'm currently reading The Impossible Will Take a Little While: A Citizen's Guide to Hope in a Time of Fear by Paul Rogat Loeb

Currently in a sci-fi mood after finishing all 8 books of the Dune saga, so I'm reading Hyperion after seeing it listed on Wired's 29 of the Best Science Fiction Books Everyone Should Read. I usually stick to the more "realistic" sci-fi a la Michael Crichton but these futuristic space-age stuff are fun too.

Ooh, nice! I picked up Hyperion at my local bookstore, and finished the first three books in the series. A bit stuck on the fourth as I feel it's getting a bit weird, but the first 2-3 books are... definitely mind blowing.

I'm resuming Martha Wells' Murderbot series (on book 5 now, the first full novel) and to my chagrin I don't remember that much from the previous novellas - they were engaging but the characters don't stick to my mind that well. She did a good job of reintroducing them though.

Have any of you read Alfred Bester? I'm reading his The Demolished Man and I have to say this book blows.

Just cascading this thread… 😁
Suck with horror and sci-fi much, I’m currently absorbing the classic Guillermo Del Toro’s The Strain (No, I haven’t and I and won’t watch the series for personal reason!) and On Writing by Stephen King. Does anyone else here like to read multiple books at once? 😬

well, im also reading english book not just Indonesian, curently wisely James Bond, have 4 book right now (2 of them is in indonesian) the original 1950s-1960s hope you reading that, goodbye ;)

I have just finished reading The Maze Runner, but the translated one, and it was a good experience. That book is the first fantasy novel I have read, it turns out that I like that genre.

Currently reading Brutes by Dizz Tate!
Was told how it's like the daughter of The Virgin Suicides, which I love. Can't wait to finish it!
