Libraries have a great range of ebooks and eaudiobooks you can download and listen/read online/offline if you have a library card- if you're going to run short on books! ^-^
Still need to finish that series tbh :-X
Firstly, I just hate ebooks so much, but it's looking like I will have to work with what I've got

Started reading The Garden Party by Katherine Mansfield. It's a collection of short stories and from the cover it looked interesting, now that I'm reading it there's a lot of description of the setting and not too much action going on

How are you finding it? I've been meaning to read it as the dragon element look's interesting, but I haven't had time.

I may have got it in hardback because it was on sale and it's soooo pretty!

I've been slogging through Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell (I borrowed it from the library months ago but luckily they're not counting the due dates because of the current situation) - although there is plenty of time in the day to read, I just never end up sitting down to read! I am also reading Dickens' Great Expectations for the second time for English (though I do enjoy it as a book on its own) and The Rape of Nanking by Iris Chang for my Extension History Project. Other books that are piling up on my shelves that I hope to read soon: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything, and Sphinx by Anne Garreta (borrowed this one from my friend and it's been over a year oops).

ALSO, Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami - I read half of it a while ago, but I keep starting over again because I forget what happens.

I love it so far! I'm only just getting into the dragon element parts, and the world is super rich! ❤

It is a super pretty book! 😍

Currently listening to Ballad of Songbird & Snakes, and it's actually not that bad. It's just ... long haha 😅

I just bought 'It' by Stephen King yesterday and I am so excited to read it!!  ;D
It's going to take me a while to read as well, especially since I haven't read that much plus the fact that it's over 1000 pages long. 😆
I've watched the movies already (and they were excellent!) but I'm more excited to read 'It' because I have so many unanswered questions from the movies.

I finished reading "The Divine Wind" by Gary Disher for English class, but I actually really enjoyed it. It was about what its like to live as a teenager during World War 2 in a small town in Australia called Broome. It was very interesting and really well written, definitely recommend if you enjoy short, but sweet books on coming of age.

This could also be because your library account has expired- same thing happened to me recently! I suggest ringing/emailing your library/council about it :)
