Since I love to read and love discussing books, I was wondering if anyone else would like a thread to just post what you are reading, what you think of it, anything you recommend, or whatever else comes to mind about books!

I am currently reading The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman. I'm only about three chapters in, but it is really interesting so far. Basically, there is this secret Library that connects all sorts of alternate worlds and universes, and their main purpose is to find and collect rare or interesting pieces of literature. Apparently, some of the worlds are controlled by dragons, others are just like our modern world but everything is powered by magic instead of science. It's interesting, and I hope it stays good.

What about you guys?

I'm definitely taking these recommendations to heart, since sci fi and fantasy is actually more my expertise too bad I've lived through a reading desert these past few years because of complicated reasons.

Heck, even though I'm reading teh classics, they're still along the lines of that? Admittedly more horror, but I find that horror often blends well with fantasy and sci fi, eh?

Because Netflix did a Big Thing, I've started to reread A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket with my girlfriend. We're currently on the second book, the Reptile Room. Not exactly challenging reads, being children's books, but, eh. . . when you've literally carried a copy of Frankenstein in your purse you're allowed to reread stuff you read when you were ten.. . right? Right??

I have to say though how the awful stuff in the books hit me more than when I was a kid. I used to not bat an eye but now I'm like "oh my god child abuse???" the one I'm currently reading did hit me a bit hard when I was young but that's because I always loved herpetology.
