I've recently started to read With Fire and Sword by Henryk Sienkiewicz. It's easily the most vivid, beautifully written book that I have ever read. Anyone who is a fan of historical fiction would absolutely love this book.

I am currently halfway through Goblet of Fire, but I also started the 5th book in The Series of Unfortunate Event; The Austere Academy.
Wanted to reread them for the next Netflix season.

Yes, I like that! And I've found one really interesting historical fiction - "Man in high castle" by Philip Dick, that's alternative history after WW2. You may check the series or trailer as well, based on the book

I'm almost at the end of the series by John Flanagan Ranger's Apprentice.

I'm a quarter of the way into the first Mistborn trilogy book by Brandon Sanderson. It's a bit of a combination between typical fantasy and a heist story, and it's been a fun read so far.

Has anyone read science fiction or fantasy lately they would recommend?

I'd say anything Robin Hobbs is good. Brandon Sanderson also has a new Sci-fi Fantasy that is super good called Skyward.

Out of the Silent Planet isn't too bad. A lot of hidden symbolism.

Perelandra is better tho.

I'm reading The Plague by Camus. Enjoying it, although I prefer his book The Stranger a bit more so far.

Read "Outlander" people. The sarcasm and humor is sublime.

I have officially read 83 books this year, and the last one I read was Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Solid book.

Working me way through EK Johnston's Queen's Shadow, and while it's not the most well-written Star Wars novel I've read, it's still pretty solid. Costume porn galore

I just reread Six of Cross by Leigh Bardugo. It is an amazing book.

Personally, I like That Hideous Strength the best, but the whole Space Trilogy is awesome. Lately I've been reading a really boring Russian novel called Doctor Zhivago.

I'm FINALLY into reading the Father Gilbert Mysteries by Paul McCusker. They're good!

I am currently reading Oliver Twist . I also Plan on reading the Complete Circle Series by Ted Dekker , which I found it as a 4 in 1 book which also includes both endings to the last book. I also have along list of books I want to read, I also plan on reading the Eye Of the Oracle. book, because it is the first book in the Oracles of Fire Series. Personally I enjoyed the Dragons in our Midst series. ( I also wear glasses.)

I'm reading The American President, by Philip Kunhardt. It's pretty good, I'm enjoying it so far.

Also, I recently finished reading the Kidsboro book series, by Marshal Younger. I liked them.

I've been reading a bunch of books. First, Murder on the Orient Express. Then, Johnny Tremain. And now I'm revisiting an old favorite that I haven't read in over a year, The Black Stallion.

I recently read Killing Lincoln, by Bill O'Reilly and Manhunt, by James L. Swanson; both are excellent books. I am currently reading Witness to an Era, by D. Mark Katz.

I am currently reading This Present Darkness.
