Hard read for me as it is outside of my usual, preferred genres, but, very interesting nonetheless :nerd_face: learning a lot.

i wouldn’t say i’m an avid reader but i do love reading and am slowly but surely working through my tbr! i’m currently reading Tower of Dawn (book 6 i think in the throne of glass series!) and i’m also rereading the perks of being a wallflower (book is so much better than the film, i highly recommend!!) and i plan on starting the love hypothesis soon!!

My current non fiction read:


A bit long winded in theoretical discussions but I enjoy reading about people who have embraced complete altruism. It is a good reminder to protect my heart as this addict tries to re-enter full society as a citizen who can be of service. The more I read about balance and boundaries the more I crave them.

Finished ‘Fairytale’ by Stephen King. Had to slog thru it. I prefer his darker work. Fantasy isn’t my genre.

Next up Demon Copperfield by Barbara Kingsolver.

I wondered about The Last Chairlift!!! It is on my list. Yes, well, My Dark Vanessa…great writing…icky material. Not for everyone.

Have read just a tiny bit of Demon Copperfield…I think it will be time well spent reading this one!
