'Running With Scissors' by Augusten Burroughs and 'Blackbird' by Jennifer Lauck

Last book I read was Persons Unknown by Susie Steiner.

I read In a Dark Dark Wood also about 3 weeks ago. I'm currently reading all of her books. You might like The Husbands Secret. She's an Australian author. Can't think of the name right now. Did you try reading The Girl on the Train and her other ones. She seems a bit similar to Ruth Ware imo.

Currently reading Missing Presumed by Susie Steiner.

Actually I have read The Girl on the Train, as well The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware. And another few in the same genre, The Couple Next Door and The Loving Husband(don't read this--it sucks!). I actually don't really like these types of plots but for some reason I can't stop reading them anyway xD I'll take a look at The Husband's Secret.

Recently finished Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises for my lit class.

I've never read Hemingway, so I congratulate you! I did read a book about Hemingway called The Paris Wife and it was soooo good!!!

If you want to get into some fascinating fantasy try the His Dark Materials Trilogy by Pullman.

Oh, did you read The Cukoo's Calling by Galbraith? Who is actually Rowling of Harry Potter fame.

The Couple Next Door and The Loving Husband. Have not read those yet...sometimes I check out amazon reviews before I read too.

Last one I finished was "Smart Women Finish Rich" by David Bach.

Currently reading "The Prince" by Machiavelli

I have been indulging with War Pilot True tales of combat and adventure by Richard C. Kirkland. There is some bias here, I love the P-38 Lightning. I've been in presence of one and would like to meet a pilot.

A River in Darkness: One Man's Escape from North Korea by Masaji Ishikawa

oh god, that was emotionally devastating what kind of fucking world order do we live in where the shit that goes down in NK is ignored / becomes the status quo for so many decades? tell me, what kind of world order?

I could not find the English title though it was a 100 pages long pocket book by Sharon Mortimer; it's called "Die Straße der grausamen Träume" ("The Street of Cruel Dreams"). And man - it was so incredibly badly wrotten, help me.

Phew, but it was the first book I have finished reading in literally years so that's a success.

I finished Ishmael by Daniel Quinn last night, and I have to say I loved that book. It was published in 1992, and it's still so, so relevant. I think it's one of those books (along with Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World) that everyone should read.

I read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child yesterday. I'm currently reading The Woman in Cabin 10.

Keys to the Kingdom are awesome! I loved the ending so much

I want to read Frankenstein! I read Dracula last year and it was awesome, though really tough going because of the archaic language. I also love Catcher in the Rye, and I've wanted to read Lolita for ages too!

I didn't know Hobb did LGBT fantasy! Trudi Canavan and Jacqueline Carey also do queer fantasy which I loved

I want to read Witchfinder's Sister so badly! It just went in the Richard and Judy Book Club (I'm a Brit lol, they're TV personalities who also read books and tell people which ones are good?) so I'm waiting for them to come half price in the store where I work, so that I can get it for like £3. You might like Burial Rites by Hannah Kent and Witchlight by Susan Fletcher. You might also like The Poewr by Naomi Alderman, if it's the evils of human nature that you enjoy. and Jumping on this book train too, hope you don't mind. I really enjoyed Girl on the Train and Couple Next Door (and Stranger in the House by Shari Lapena, and Into the Water by Paula Hawkins). Haven't read any Ruth Ware yet, but I'm getting there. I read loads of thriller books. The One by John Marrs is AWESOME.

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but I love discussions like this. I just finished Mislaid by Nell Zink, which was super interesting but heavy because it's literary. I'm now reading Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney, which is a crimey thrillery book. I read 57 books in 2017 and hoping to beat 50 again this year!

RotE is ..... kinda-sorta somewhere in the ballpark if you ask me (could be more tho,pls and thanks) but the third.. fourth? installment of the series (The Rain Wild Chronicles) functions pretty well as a stand-alone as well if you don't want to read the entire saga since it's like 800 books. All worth it, but that particular arc has several prominent lgbt characters.

I'm kinda juggling with two books right now, the more intriguing one would be Mätä ("Rot") by Siri Pettersen. It's been a while since I've read any nice Scandinavian fantasy, missed it.

Oooh sounds interesting, especially Burial Rites. Thanks for the recommendations :D Now I've got a nice list to start the new year of reading (thanks as well :)). Sadly couldn't reach my goal for 2017 (100 was seriously overkill haha), but hope this year is more successful!

Dracula ;U; it took me a while to read it because a) i'm lazy/busy and b) it took me a while to get used to the style of writing too! but i just feel so enamoured with the fact that since it's release (in 1897!!!) it remains such a brilliant piece of writing deserving of it's lasting popularity. and despite everyone knowing the story (it's totally predictable) it's still such a page turner! i always found myself wanting to read MORE and wishing that my train journey would be a little longer or delayed somehow haha!

frankenstein is definitely high on my list, as well as Dorian Grey!

i've also been wanting to read the raven cycle for a while now! does anyone know if it's worth a read? i'm pretty eager to give it a go but would love to hear people's thoughts!

This is Where it Ends by Marieke Nijkamp!

That's a lot of books! Maybe I'll check them out though. I didn't realise, but I have one of his on my kindle.

I love Burial Rites! Tell me what you think when you read it ;)

Dracula took me a long time to read too. I like to have a classic on the go on my kindle so that when I'm not in the mood for something else I have something I can jump to. At the moment it's Scarlet Letter (Hawthorne). I've heard great things about the Raven Cycle, but I haven't read it myself.

I'm currently reading The Glimpse by Claire Merle. It took a long time to get into it, but now I'm actually enjoying it.

It's ... a total of just 18 books so it's not that long of a series, but some of the books are over 1k pages :') I recommend starting from Assassin's Apprentice, since the books mostly follow the story of one main character c:

I .. read the first book of The Raven Cycle and gave up after that, but it was mostly just because I'm personally not too into urban fantasy! It wasn't particularly bad though, just not my cup of tea. You might even like it! I kind of want to give it a second chance, it might have just been that I was in a mindset where pretty much all I could read was high fantasy x)

I'm currently reading the last book of the Nightrunner series ( Shards of Time) , love these sweet rogue nerds.

The only series that long that I've ever kept up with is Warrior Cats, and those books are only around 330 pages each haha!

So I get to meet Matt Haig on 16th January because I work in a book store and he's doing a signing. I'm going to read How to Stop Time in advance of that and have him sign it :)

Pack of Two: The Intricate Bond Between People and Dogs by Caroline Knapp.

I am obsessed with the Court of Thorns and Roses series and am currently ready the 3rd book A Court of Mist and Fury.
