I'm currently reading this gothic horror classic and loving the way the story is told through the diaries and letters of the characters. I'm loving the dark atmosphere and growing suspense!

I’m on the third and final book (The Winners) of the Bear Town trilogy by Fredrik Backman. I’m quite sad that this is coming to an end. I’ve enjoyed it so much!

I'm almost done with 12 years a slave. Having grown up near where he was enslaved is... Mind-blowing to me.

Edited to add: it is a true story written by a free man kidnapped and sold into slavery in the 1830s

Been reading Kiersten Modglin books. Just finished A Quiet Retreat. Writers from different thriller genres end up on a retreat together and suspicious things start happening. Not sure which one I’ll read next I’m about halfway through her books.

**More Than A Game Book #2 - The Perfect Putt** - *That’s always been my opinion. So when my best friend lands me an interview with Miles Day–the youngest golfer to ever win the Masters–I almost say no.*
*But the six-figure salary attached to the position is too good to pass up.*
*Miles gives me the job as his assistant, with one caveat–don’t fall in love with him. Easy. So easy that I laugh in his face when he so much as suggests the possibility.*
*Except… the more time I spend with Miles, the harder it is to resist his charming smile and glittering green eyes.*
*Catching feelings for him isn’t an option though, because I have goals to reach, and he has an aversion to commitment. Falling in love would be a mistake, one neither of us are willing to make.*

About to start this later today, the first book in the interconnected series was awesome and genuinely quite moving so can't wait to read this, I hope it's just as good if not better.

In the last week I finished **11/22/63** by Stephen King. That one was a literary masterpiece. I love it to the core. Yesterday I finished **The Last One At The Wedding** and that one was meh at best and I kinda hate it. Currently reading **For King And Country** (Book 3 of Brinley Knight Spy Thriller) from Kindle Unlimited.

Currently reading "The Hunt for Red October" by Tom Clancy, and "Sphere" by Michael Crichton. These are my first reads by both authors (despite having wanted to read them both for a long time now) and I love them both.

After only reading 4 books last year and getting my kindle on Jan.13th I managed to finish four books.

Really into WW2 and found these books to broaden my understanding on what happened.

Things We Never Got Over - I loved it! I feel like it’s a controversial book, people either love it or hate it. Could have been shorter, but I enjoyed the writing. Small town romance, bully/sunshine (kind of), little spicy, but not too much imo. Looooved the banter. I laughed and cried!

In a Jam - Currently reading, super cute so far! Small town romance. Grumpy/ Sunshine. I like the build up so far.
