It has been a while. I have been pretty, and haven't been around much.

As for the books, I am still in the same place, reading Book 2 of Confederation The Better Part of Valour by Tanya Huff. Though I did spend some time reading a web novel, Book Eater, author is 메켄로 and translator is RainbowTurtle.

What about all of you? Which books have you been reading or listening lately?

Just wrapped up chain-gang all-stars and loved it!

Just started this one after finishing fourth wing. Great so far

My daughter said Fourth Wing and Iron Flame were pretty frustrating with the betrayal/misunderstanding thing lasting like 500 pages. Do you feel like it was worth the read?

I have iron flame but definitely needed a break after fourth wing. The book was good but I agree that there was a lot of unnecessary drama.

Hmm. I've worked in a high school for the past couple of years, and I feel like my tolerance for melodrama in books is lower than it used to be since I hear melodramatic stories in real life almost every day. I think I'll pass on this one until more books come out to see if it's worth it.

Thanks for your response!!!

Hmm... a debut novel, finalist for various awards, and compared to Hunger Games.

Going to add it to my list.
