What are you currently reading?
- City of Lies (Poison War, #1) by Sam Hawke – physical book
- Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly – physical book, buddy read
- Furyborn (Emipirium Trilogy, #1) by Claire Legrand – audiobook, reread
I’ve FINALLY started on my reread (or listen) to Furyborn, so I can refresh my memory on what happened in the first book before moving on to the sequel. I do remember absolutely loving it though! I’m not the biggest fan of the audio narrator so far, but I don’t think it will affect my experience too much.
I also am picking back up with City of Lies after putting it aside last week for The Starless Sea. I think I’m finally able to really buckle down and focus on this fantasy world. I’ve also started on Lilac Girls that I’m buddy reading with Britt @ Geronimo Reads. I’m fully expecting to need tissues beside me at some point. I’m a little over 100 pages into it and am already completely drawn into the lives of these three badass women.
What did you recently finish reading?
- Iron Gold (Red Rising, #4) by Pierce Brown – audiobook
- The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern – physical book
I absolutely freaking adored The Starless Sea! It was so much more than what I was originally expecting, as I didn’t particularly like The Night Circus. However, this book was so whimsical and basically an ode to the magic of stories, that I connected with it immediately. My full review will be posted tomorrow!
I also finally completely my reread (or listen) of Iron Gold and I’m so glad I chose the audiobook route for my reread of the entire series. The narrators are all amazing and I felt a completely different connection to the story this time around. It was truly a fantastic experience and highly recommend anyone interested to check it out. I can’t wait to dive into Dark Age next.
Side Note: I did attempt to listen to the audiobook of The Candle and the Flame by Nafiza Azad, but unfortunately I knew I wouldn’t connect with the writing style within the first 20 minutes. So I’ve decided to DNF that novel for now.
What do you think you’ll read next?
- The Bear and the Nightingale (Winternight Trilogy, #1) by Katherine Arden – physical book
- The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough – physical book
- Suggested Reading by David Connis – audiobook
