Dafadilia Wayfarer Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) I started reading LOTR for the first time ever this time last year about. I never even got through half way since I moved countries and had to get rid of most of my books. I didn't have it in ebook form. Besides the fact it is an intense read especially when in the middle of a large move. Hubby recently found a used copy with this cover for me in a charity shop so I've started from the beginning. I'm excited to be able to get through all three books this time! Edited February 7, 2022 by Dafadilia Wayfarer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Zhaoying Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I'll be reading the Christian Bible more once Bible study starts up at our church's new location. Not what you meant? Sowwy.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) Between books at the moment, but when I start up again, it will either be something about dragons & magic or something about vampires, werewolves, witches & such. My reading is almost always purely fiction/fantasy - nothing even remotely true or RL. My reading if completely for enjoyment and escape from RL.

I love fiction and getting lost in a good fantasy story. Maybe I'll go find some trashy romance book and start something new. I'll post back here when I pick one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlammedSam Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Currently reading Martin Scorsese presents the Blues, on recommendation of my partner. Before that, she and I read To Live is to Die: the Life and Death of Metallica's Cliff Burton. 4 minutes ago, Cinnamon Mistwood said: I read to escape reality, as well.

I'm generally more a sci-fi goober otherwise, myself! 😃 Recently read the Star Wars Thrawn Trilogy, which are: Heir to the Empire, Dark Force Rising, and the Last Command, which were written in the early 1990s by Timothy Zahn. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marigold Devin Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee Hating it. And The Wheel on the School by Meindert de Jong, because we did a play at school based on the book. I was the scrap man who donated my broken old wheel, so I've gone on a bit of a nostalgia trip reading a children's book. It's so lovely though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafadilia Wayfarer Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I'm on the second book of The Witcher series, The Witcher: Sword of Destiny by Andrzej Sapkowski. So far the series has been interesting and well written. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't yet or it's been a long time, Anne McCaffery's Dragonriders of Pern series. Todd's (her son) books aren't bad. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came upon Bella Forest a few months back - can't remember what sent me there, but have her on my list to check out.

She was one of my first Dragon authors many years ago. She was partly responsible for my love of dragons. I'm also anxiously awaiting Patricia Briggs' next Mercy novel and her next Alpha & Omega -- Thank you for turning me on to her a few years ago.

MoiraKathleen Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Last week I read The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson. I read it because I was invited by a friend to a book discussion group with her and her daughter's friends, and that was the book chosen for discussion at the end of this month. I wasn't sure I would like it, as I don't really like many horror or psychological thrillers, but I found it to be very captivating, and it turned out to be one of those books I think I'll read just a chapter or two with breakfast, but then end up reading all day and evening (and maybe the next day) until I finish it. This week I'm in the middle of reading Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. I'd read his East of Eden and Grapes of Wrath many years ago, but hadn't read Cannery Row until now. It's not a "sit until I finish reading it" book for me, but still an enjoyable read. 1 hour ago, Silent Mistwalker said: If you haven't yet or it's been a long time, Anne McCaffery's Dragonriders of Pern series. Todd's (her son) books aren't bad. One of my favorite series of books, and probably the only series that both me and my husband read. When I first joined SL, I was excited to find an off-cannon RP group based on her books, and I was active with that group for several years. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garnet Psaltery Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 I'm currently near the end of John's Gospel. My routine is to read the Bible from start to finish in one translation then begin again with another. For secular reading I'm on the 12th book of a long family saga overall known as 'The Morland Dynasty' by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles. I began it many years ago, being interested in the mainly Yorkshire setting. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leora Greenwood Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 As a 4th generation mystery book reader, I went through most of those classics in my teenage years. Now I enjoy scouting out books that use the mystery genre to explore current technological and social issues. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kisket Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The book I'm reading now is about liminal space, it's similar to Tao Te Ching or Feng Shui. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
