Currently reading The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson. I’m halfway through it and I find the book has really good (at times obvious) advice given in a funny/humorous manner.

Have also started on Sleeping Beauties by Stephen and Owen King, but it’s slow going and I can’t say much about it yet because I’m only 20 or so pages in!

Sleeping Beauties, by Stephen King. Really interesting plot (a bit slow around the middle, but OK), got me thinking really seriously about what it'd be like to live in a world where women have suddenly "vanished".

I finished Sleeping Beauties, by Stephen King & Owen King

I started 11/22/63, by Stephen King

Still picking through Underworld, by Don DeLillo. Incredible so far, dense but I'm loving DeLillo's prose. I don't know how to describe it, it's both clear and exact in its focus but also otherworldly somehow. This is a big book both literally and in terms of its scope, there's a huge amount of characters and ideas to be digested here. Read this one slowly.

Also working on Sleeping Beauties, by Stephen King & Owen King. To me this is a fine example of a book that is technically well written, and well conceived, but has absolutely no spark of life. It should be dynamite for me because this is classic King: a small-town, high-concept supernatural novel with an enormous cast of characters. Exact kind of King book I used to devour. But I'm finding there's really no substance there to hook me. I'll stress that it's absolutely not a bad book, there's just nothing exceptional here so far.

Still working on Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King Like most of his books it's long but good. I'm about 300 pages in so far.

Finally finished Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King Really liked it. Think it would make a great tv show.

Started War of the Encyclopaedists by Christopher Robinson and Gavin Kouite

I am about 2/3 done with Sleeping Beauties, by Stephen King. I should be finished either tomorrow or the next night.

The next book I will read (and start this week), will be: Every Dead Thing, by John Connolly. It will be my first Connolly book and I can’t wait.

Finished reading...

The Association of Small Bombs by Karan Mahajan - I’ve had it for years now so my expectation was off the roof. Only found it as an okay read though.

The Roanoke Girls by Amy Engel - if you’ve seen Netflix’s Abducted from Plain Sight, this book reminded me of that show.

Reading...

Sleeping Beauties by Stephen and Owen King - currently at part I, chapter 19. 400+ pages in and I think I have another 400 to go. Hoping to finally finish it this week!

You by Caroline Kepnes - chapter 22. Reading this one on my phone. So far I like the book better than the show. I really enjoy reading Joe’s inner monologue which can get really creepy at times.

Finished...

• You by Caroline Kepnes - It was a great read overall, though I more or less knew already what was going to happen as I watched the show, I still enjoyed reading it.
• Hidden Bodies by Caroline Kepnes - I breezed through the first few chapters, but the middle and end was just so-so. Anyway, the first book (You) was better and I think if there's a third installment in this series, it won't be a priority and I'll probably just read it out of curiosity.
• Anyone You Want Me to Be: A True Story of Sex and Death on the Internet by John Edward Douglas - Wanted to read some true crime and originally, I wanted to read Mindhunter, but since it wasn't available, I ended up reading this. It's not bad, but it's not exactly a page turner.

Reading...

• Sleeping Beauties by Stephen and Owen King - Finally done with Part I, and I'm now on Part II, Chapter 6! Almost halfway through the book. :)
• Baby Teeth by Zoje Stage - This has been on my to-read list for a year or so now since the summary hooked me in. The actual book.. Not so much. Not even halfway through but I already can't wait to finish this because I don't really find the characters likeable and the story's just not holding my attention.

Finished The Trespasser by Tana French While it was better than her previous book I didn't like it as much as some of her others. Started Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King Only about 60 pages in and I'm already hooked. Can't wait to see how the story progresses.

Working on Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King Loving it so far. Haven't had much time to read this week but I hope to do a reading marathon soon and really get into this book as I was hooked pretty early into it.

Still working on Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King and Owen King Hope to (finally) finish it on my next set of days off of work. Have about 285 pages left.

Whispers of Warning, by Jessica Estevao

Sleeping Beauties, by Owen King and Stephen King

​

Finished reading The Ballroom by Anna Hope, just a random book I picked up. Didn't realise that I actually had it on my to-read list. Anyway, it was just an okay read for me. I'm just glad that I'm done with it to be honest!

Now that I've broken through my reading slump, I'm going to try and continue Sleeping Beauties by Stephen King & Owen King.

Edit: Also reading Less by Andrew Sean Greer. I'm currently on the 2nd chapter.

Finally finished reading The Sleeping Beauties by Stephen and Owen King! Man, I thought I was never going to finish it but now that I'm done, I actually kind of miss it haha.

Don't really have the attention span right now to finish any books, but right now I'm currently reading:

• Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman : picked this up from a book sale and only did so because I recognised the author as I read his previous work, A Man Called Ove. Currently on chapter 4, but the main character reminds me of Ove -- old and grumpy haha.
• Dawn of the Dead by George Romero : Still on the first few pages so can't comment much! Anyway, I haven't seen the movie yet but have heard about it so I have a pretty vague idea of what to expect.

Finished Sleeping Beauties: A Novel by Stephen King and his son Owen King It was an entertaining read and you will most likely like the book if you like King's newer works or his collaboration works with his son.

Something happens when women go to sleep; they become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. If they are awakened, and the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed or violated, the women become feral and spectacularly violent; and while they sleep they go to another place.

Started Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel's Targeted Assassinations by Ronen Bergman about the history of targeted assassinations by Israel’s intelligence services. Its author says that Israel has assassinated more people than any other western country since World War II.

The first few chapters read almost like a spy novel detailing assassinations as if the author was there in person.
