Hello Everyone!

What are you all reading?

I am currently going through a re-read of Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Currently on 2nd book, Fool Moon.

I’m about half way through The Obelisk Gate which is the second book of the broken earth series by N.K. Jemisin. I’m really enjoying it.

I loved the series, but felt the books are quite dry. Not really a "fun" read.

I can see that, but I think the dramatic plot points and twists are a good payoff for the slower parts of the story. At least in the first book I got a little bored with all of the traveling, but when they finally get where they are going it picks up significantly.

I’m loving this thread. Lots of ideas for my next reads!

Oh yeah, I agree that overall the books are worth it. That's why I said I loved the series.

And yeah, some really neat book suggestions in this thread, and in many different genres.
