I'm currently reading The Knife of Never Letting Go. I'm very displeased with our hero at this moment. I haven't heard of that one, but it sounds so interesting! Let us know what you think when you finish it!

I have been conflicted on choosing what kind of books I want to read first.
On one hand, I'm a huge fan of history, so i had been digging a lot of books. So far I have SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome, The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt, Persian Fire, and Lost to the West (an overview on the Byzantine empire).
But on the other hand, I still have few classics to finish off since I haven't start reading them for about a year. Still need to read Tales of Two Cities, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Pride and Prejudice.
And meanwhile i'm trying to finish reading art books that will help me on animation and art. I recently finished the Classic Human Anatomy book and now i'm on The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard William.
Any thoughts?

I guess it depends, are you still in school? Because if so, you should probably read books related to what you are studying right now before the semester starts. If not, then you can probably pace yourself and just read what is interesting your the most at the moment. You can also read two books at once, if you're able to. A fun book and a more instructional book.

Anyone else read(ing) the Twelve Kings series by Bradley Beaulieu? I just finished the third book, very strong series. I guess it’s kind of YA but on the more mature end of the spectrum. Characters are very compelling and highly flawed. And it’s nice to have a non quasi Middle Ages European setting for a fantasy too. Would recommend it

Just finished reading The Summer Children, it’s the third book in The Collected series by Dot Hutchinson. I liked it better than the Roses of May. This is the series that follows the FBI division dedicated to crimes against children. This book follows Agent Mercedes Ramirez, who begins to find abused children on her doorstep left there by an angel.

New 2018 by Madeline Miller, Circe. Not Cersei [ha, though there could be a parallel drawn there] but the mythological Circe written from a fresh standpoint, from a more balanced, somewhat feminism-y standpoint. It's a great story. Quote from inside book cover:

Quote from inside book cover: I read this back in September, excellent book and a very fresh take on the mythological Circe (and the other well known myths which it covers too). As for Cersei, I can’t help think GRRM took some kind of inspiration there, as he is apt to do
