Just finished 'P.S. I Still Love You' (second book in the 'To All the Boys I've Loved Before' trilogy) by Jenny Han.
Loved 80% of the book but the ending was rushed and disappointed me big time!

Anyways, I have the final book in the series 'Always and Forever, Lara Jean'. Hopefully Han has something exciting prepared in her final instalment !

Jumping between books at the moment, rotating between The Lieutenant, Leah on the Offbeat, Dancing Girls and Other Stories (Margaret Atwood), and Wuthering Heights! ^-^

I'm reading George RR Martin's latest contribution to procrastination, Fire and Blood. I've never been a particularly big fan of GRRM as a writer. He has an incredible ability to paint a scene; however, his plots are too dense and rambling at times. It may just be that this book invites that kind of writing, but it seems a lot more coherent than The Song of Ice and Fire.

I finally started reading She has her mothers laugh: the powers, perversions and potential of hereditary by Carl Zimmer. It’s absolutely fascinating but also incredibly long.

Me too! Jumping between Sweetbitter, The Idiot, and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I kind of feel like picking up Howards End too. ???

Just finished reading 'Secrets for the mad' by Dodie Clark for the second time! Not really into fictional novels atm (was a long time ago), but more into biographies and memoirs (like this one) in this moment!

Have started reading KRudd's second volume of his autobiography. Very policy focused atm which can at times be a bit of a drag, but interesting nonetheless.

I'm like two-thirds of the way through Volume 1. Would be really interested to hear how you've found Volume 2 if you stuck with it.

Have had a little bit of a hiatus but will get back to it once I'm done with my current book. Almost up to the juicy bits! How are you finding volume 1?

Having a similar hiatus but have enjoyed it so far. Think the second half will be more interesting than the first. Did you read it?

One of my favourite YA novels of all time  ;D I absolutely loved reading it. Now that you've mentioned it, I might give it a second reading too  :o

Not reading anything at the moment because I'm waiting for the last Dark Artifices instalment to arrive at my mailbox in a few days  ;D Super excited to see how Cassandra Clare will wrap up this trilogy.

Currently reading 'Flame in the Mist' by Renée Ahdieh!
I'm also waiting for a book to wing its way here (Mansfield Park), and I'm slowly working through Wuthering Heights! ^-^

(I'm also building my Orange-covered popular penguins series collection. It took me 3 Dymocks stores to find a copy of the Northanger Abbey in the series on NYE :'))
