What are you reading at the moment?

hmm, about 3600 pages of reading here! :) should I be starting this with exams so close? Yes.

Time for some nice, light reading, my dudes. I’ll be back in an hour.

Just finished reading the Riftwar Cycle - again. The quality declines after the first 6 books imo (with my least favourite being Rise of a Merchant Prince), but it's nice to have the completeness of reading the full set.
Not sure whether I'll read a new series next or reread books, but that question can probably wait a few weeks anyway

Just starting the CHERUB series...

From what I've heard, it's kind of a mix of HIVE and Alex Rider, so hopefully it's good.

It's also pretty long, so RIP exam prep...

CHERUB was my all-time fave series in HS! (The original 12 books were the best aha)
I still read the author's works- he just released a new book (Killer T) that I'm about 200 pages into rn. Hopefully you enjoy CHERUB though!!! Let me know how you go!

Last night I finished reading The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan, first in the Wheel of Time series.

Pretty excited about reading more, I enjoyed the first. I'm obsessed with high fantasy books, particularly long epic's like this series.

Yeah, I was a big fan, too. I think I only read up to Mad Dogs, though.

Once you’ve finished that, there’s another series called Henderson Boys which is set during ww2 and when they started using kids. It’s aimed at a bit of an older audience and isn’t as light hearted as Cherub. Personally I didn’t like it as much as Cherub (although I still read every one I could find) but you might

I Recon CHERUB is a mash-up.

You have the spy/MI5 out of Alex Rider.

The Covert Campus and the uniforms out of HIVE

Rantish?

The romance is definitely out of Cherry Ames
Like seriously, he meets up with a different girl on every mission, and never goes steady. Plus, it seems a little thick for 11-13 year olds, but maybe I lived a sheltered life...

Also, I really don't like the author's reveal strategy. In 'Maximum security', James covers for his sister, and she turns round and says "Thanks for taking the blame". Like seriously bro, we (the reader) know what happened there, you don't need dialogue to add to it. A nod of thanks would have sufficed...

So far (just finished book 4); I certainly prefer the HIVE series to this, but I still recon there's enough fun in the missions to make me finish the series...

Thanks. I'll check them out after exams.

I've just got Normal People by Sally Rooney from the library reserves today. I have high expectations of it, since I've read Sally's first book Conversation with Friends and really enjoyed it (not to mention Normal People was a frontrunner for the Man Booker Prize, although prizes are fucked apparently). Apart from that I haven't really read anything else recently, I have so many books from university literature (didn't really enjoy any of them apart from Dubliners by James Joyce, but am looking forward to Murakami). I also read Zlatan Ibrahimovic's autobiography which I personally found relatable (I'm a fan of him in the first place).

Sorry, Im still a fantasy novel pleb. Just finished the Wheel of Time series last week and I've taken to rereading The Kingkiller Chronicles by Patrick Rothfuss. They are without a doubt a my favourite books I've ever read. They are beautifully written but the series is a trilogy and currently only has two of the books out which came out 2007 and its been seven years since the 2nd book came out. Well worth the read/wait!! Would recommend

Finished reading Harry Potter for the first time in my life last night.

Am proud to declare that I only started crying close to the end of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and have been extremely unstable since.



Also, have to say I've gotten into the memes now and it's not healthy

Just finished 'The mountain between us'... WOW!

[sweetiepi]

I recently finished Phantom of the Opera, so now I'm onto Wuthering Heights!
(After that, I plan to read some of the poetry I recently bought!!! )
