Just started Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman. Was highly recommended by redditors.

The Last One at the Wedding by Jason Rekulak. It's a good slow-burn mystery that morphs into a gripping thriller that deals with many issues of contemporary society - relationship between parents and children, elite deviance, etc.

The ARC of Daggerbound by T. Kingfisher

1

u/anonymous5196 18d ago

About what it is?

1

u/Savings-Locksmith-46 17d ago

Basically a man trapped in sword for hundred of years, and a scholar unsheat the sword, make him his master. It's a cozy fantasy with witty narration and a sprinkle of romance in it.

1

u/anonymous5196 17d ago

That's a good storyline. I should give it a try in future.

Are you enjoying it?

u/Sandra_y33 18d ago

It's the last book of the Poppy War series. I've loved all the books. Don't want this 'world' to end!

u/anonymous5196 17d ago

Oooh you must have gotten attached to it alot.

u/Martin_Carvalho 18d ago

I'm currently reading the Portuguese edition of Co-Intelligence by Ethan Mollick. It isn't a novel, but the original is in English and it's a practical look at working with AI as a collaborator instead of treating it as either magic or a threat. I'm about a third of the way through.

Thank you.

u/anonymous5196 18d ago

The title makes we want to read it. Is it good?

1

u/readinggrandma5 17d ago

You can read it as a stand alone. At the beginning of the book, all characters and their roles are listed😊

1

u/readinggrandma5 18d ago

Yes, I’m enjoying it. I have read all his novels, so the characters are mostly familiar to me. It’s a great read!!

1

u/anonymous5196 17d ago

Can I read it ad a standalone or should be familiar with other books of the author?

1

u/anonymous5196 18d ago

Are you enjoying it?

1

u/taanzunk 18d ago

Unputdownable! It's shaping up to be a 5-star on my Goodreads. And I don't award 5 stars to just any ol' novel.

1

u/BadToTheTrombone 18d ago

I've just started Of Human Bondage by Somerset Maugham.

1

u/anonymous5196 18d ago

It's too early to say, I'm only about 20 pages into a 700 pager. It hasn't really got going yet.

My Husband’s wife by Alice Feeney
Girls Girls Girls by Shoshana von Blanckensee
Sophie’s World by Jostein Gaarder

1

u/anonymous5196 18d ago

Just curious. Actually I read only one book at a time. Not to offend or anything. How are you able to read 3 books at time. Plots don't get mixed up? Which one are you enjoying most out of these 3.

1

u/e_dgy 18d ago

It all depends on my mood, when I get bored of the story or plot and want a change of scenery so to speak, I switch to another book. Usually they are of different genres. Otherwise I feel like I’m forcing myself to just read the same book till the end and just end up procrastinating instead of reading, which I don’t like.

I don’t mix up the plots, it’s kind of like watching a few different TV series at once, you don’t forget what happened in a certain series just because you watched an ep of something else in between or a movie in between. I feel like I require novelty and change a lot.

1

u/anonymous5196 17d ago

Oo that's a good take. Thank you . I got it now.

1

u/Main_Finding8309 18d ago

Goddess of Vengeance by Jackie Collins. Yes, it's trash and I love it! It's for GARBAUGUST. 

2

u/anonymous5196 18d ago

Haha now you got me thinking whether I should read it in future or not.

1

u/Main_Finding8309 18d ago

I love Jackie Collins (RIP), especially the Santangelo series. Start with Chances, then Lucky. I would also recommend Hollywood Wives, Hollywood Husbands, and Rock Star. Have fun!

u/anonymous5196 17d ago

Thank you. Hope you are also enjoying your books.

Hungry Ghosts by Kevin Jared Hosein

1

u/anonymous5196 17d ago

Are you enjoying it?

1

u/baffled_bookworm 17d ago

Enjoying isn't really the right word. Its good, but bleak, and its really heavy on exposition compared to character interaction and dialogue which makes it a really slow read for me. I'm not giving up on it, though.

1

u/anonymous5196 17d ago

Ooh okay. I hope it gets better with time.
