What are you reading?

Judy Garland seemed to have quite a life. She was young when she died and slumped over a toilet too? :(

I'm reading "Children of Blood and Bone" by Tomi Adeyemi!
 
Gokushufudou: Way of the House Husband. A hilarious story about an Ex-Yakuza who lives his life as a house husband for his wife. Sadly there's no official localized release and currently you can only read fan translations. But it's a cute as hell story.

Especially how it uses Yakuza film tropes to set up mundane tasks and Tatsu's frightening appearance when he's trying to be nice and polite.

'The Lost Histories Volume IV: Land of the Minotaurs' by Richard A. Knaak...a pretty low tier tie-in novel for the Dragonlance D&D setting. It's not good, but it's an easy read, and with the amount of energy I have these days easy reads are easy wins.
 
Finally started Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson, and I think I need to apologize to my RP partners because this is eating so much of my time right now. But I cannot. Stop. Reading. It.

I remember that book. I really liked the Dwarves of Thorbardin triology myself. They were an easy, mindless read...in a non-judgemental way.

Is it that good? I know several other people who seem to have dropped off the earth because of it!

Oh totally. I enjoy them because they are mindless, really easy to pick up and read a few pages of when I've got time/energy to do so. I get a great sense of accomplishment from finishing books. So even if I'm not reading anything good, I still feel like I've done something important.

I agree. And the “sense of accomplishment” thing really does fit with how I feel about reading as well. Completing a journey of discovery.

I'm a sucker for worldbuilding and this book is chock full of it, but, if you dislike super long form fantasy maybe not so much? Still, it's the sort of epic I always wish I could form my RPs into, so...

Yes, it's that good :p
 
Read a shifter menage romance novella that bored the hell out of me. At least the smut scenes were decent. So sick of the "fated mates" trope. It's not a substitute for chemistry people.

And also Temper Book 2. It's erotic romance with a paranormal subplot featuring a polyam couple. I cannot stand the male LI, and wish the two female characters would dump his ass and be a happy little lesbian couple together. But he's actually improving some in the second book, and the paranormal sub-plot is intriguing me.

Sort of reminds me of when I Read Pillars of the Earth and World Without End, by Ken Follett.

I'm reading 'Get Happy', the biography of Judy Garland.....did you know she was found dead, slumped over the toilet?....oh God, what a horrible way to go....

A not insignificant number of heart attacks (especially for men) occur on the toilet.

Currently reading (I've recently gotten back to bad habits of having multiple things on the go!): A biography of Edward I, Dune, my backlog of Fortean Times magazines, and Porno by Irvine Welsh, although I've been stalled at about half way for months now, so that might be sadly resigned back to the 'to read' pile.
 
I'm rereading the book series of the change.

Starting with my favorite book, does the fire.

Basically, in an instant all powered items (cars, phones, radios, etc) stop working, and gun powder no longer works either. The first few days people treat it like a power outage, but then food starts to run short.

I don't want to give away too much for those who may read my post and try the book. I would recommend this book to those who love apocalyptic or medieval books as it has both in the series, with a hint of Fantasy.

Sounds pretty interesting!
 
Re-reading Stefan Zweig (mostly fiction). Confusion, Burning secret, stuff like that. Not in German though I dated a guy who did!
