I am reading Tales of King Arthur, by Henry Gilbert to my son .

I finished the audiobook The 5th Wave, by Rick Yancey and have started The Infinite Sea, by Rick Yancey.

I'm reading The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman.

For Graphic novels I finished Rick and Morty, Vol. 1, by Zac Gorman and Rick and Morty, Vol. 2, by Zac Gorman.

I finished:

• A Conjuring of Light, by V.E. Schwab. I am so sad to say "good bye" to these characters. This has been the best trilogy I've read to date.
• The Sound of a Wild Snail Eating, by Elisabeth Tova Bailey. This was given to me by my SO's mom, who is also a nature author. Her recommendations of narrative non-fiction are always good so I decided to give this a go. I enjoyed it and learned a lot about snails. We should all be happy they aren't the size of horses.

I started:

• The Golden Compass, by Phillip Pullman. This is a re-read. I read it several years ago and my SO said it's worth the re-read.

I'm excited for October! I've been gathering "spooky" and "weird" books to get into the Halloween spirit. Here's my collection so far:

• Something Wicked This Way Comes, by Ray Bradbury
• The Haunting of Hill House, by Shirley Jackson
• Summer of Night, by Dan Simmons

I am reading Tales of King Arthur, by Henry Gilbert to my son .

I finished the audiobook Brave, by Rose McGowan then started and finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, by Mark Haddon and have started The Queens of Innis Lear, by Tessa Gratton.

I finished Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, by Gail Honeyman and I'm about to start The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman.

For Graphic novels I started and finished Descender, Vol. 2: Machine Moon, by Jeff Lemire and Descender, Vol. 3: Singularities, by Jeff Lemire and I've started Low, Vol. 3: Shore of the Dying Light, by Rick Remender

Finished Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman,

Kamisu Reina Was Here, by Mikage Eiji,

and Easy Riders, Raging Bulls, by Peter Biskind.

Honestly, didn't really care for the first two. Good Omens I thought was going to feature a good amount of comedy but it just fell flat to me. Crowley and Anathema were the only characters I was looking for more from. The dialogue between Crowley and Aziraphale was the most enjoyable part of the story. Really would have preferred the story to have just kept to them as the main characters and have it be told by their point of view.

With Kamisu Reina series, it was pretty boring. I like the whole phenomena events but the actual reasoning behind it just felt lacking. More than one chapter dedicated to the character who's name is in the title would have sufficed.

Easy Riders, Raging Bulls was very enjoyable. Had to read this for a class and liked how in-depth it was for the "Second Golden Age" of Hollywood. Ended up discovering many films to watch that I normally would've passed up if not for this novel. Would absolutely recommend to anyone, film student or film aficionado, or even as a general read.

Started reading The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman as part of an omnibus of Pullman's His Dark Materials saga. Very much enjoying this as the magic and plot are just unique enough to be different than similar themed stories. Iorek might be one of my favorite characters so far.

King of Scars, by Leigh Bardugo

If you've read any of her other Grishaverse books, I definitely recommend it. It's a continuation of both the original trilogy as well as the Six of Crows duology. The second book I assume will be coming out next year.

Last night I started reading The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman. I've never read His Dark Materials, but I've heard good things.

The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman

This is my first time reading the Dark Materials trilogy. I’m about halfway done with the first book, and I’m enjoying it so far! I really like the idea of dæmons. It makes you wonder what yours would be.

Finished:

Baked: New Frontiers in Baking, by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito Their Baked Elements is better, but there were still plenty of good recipes here.

Skin and Other Stories, by Roald Dahl I still swear I’ve read these stories before, but it’s a pretty good mix of slightly odd stories.

The Golden Compass, by Phillip Pullman I think I read this when I was ~12. I felt like hell for Lyra, and well, all the other kids. It’s hard not to. Looking forward to the BBC series!

Blood Lite 3, by Kevin J. Anderson I read the first Blood Lite and was not too into it. This one was leagues better and I found several new authors to look into.

Reading:

Lethal White, by Robert Galbraith I really enjoy these books and the cases. But I’m just so mehhh over the bs between the main characters. I hope it won’t be dragged on unnecessarily.

I finished Salem's Lot, by Stephen King and The Golden Compass, by Phillip Pullman.

Last week on the Drunk Guys Book Club Podcast was Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, by JK Rowling. This week (Tuesday) will be Orange is the New Black, by Piper Kerman.

I am reading Tales of King Arthur, by Henry Gilbert to my son .

I finished the audiobooks The Infinite Sea, by Rick Yancey and have started The Last Star, by Rick Yancey and am now listening to Soulless, by Gail Carriger.

I fished reading The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman and The Subtle Knife, by Philip Pullman. I'm now working on The Amber Spyglass, by Philip Pullman

Finished The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman and very much enjoyed it. Will be reading the rest of His Dark Materials soon.

Started Pet Sematary, by Stephen King in anticipation to the upcoming movie.

Finished:

Band of Brothers: E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne from Normandy to Hitler’s Eagle Nest, by Stephen E. Ambrose

Yes, the HBO series is still better. But we wouldn’t have it without this book so thanks, Ambrose.

The Golden Ball and Other Stories, by Agatha Christie

Pls pls pls do yourself a favour and read the Strange Case of Sir Arthur Carmichael. Idk if this was supposed to be funny but it always makes me laugh.

Teacher Man, by Frank McCourt

I loved Angela’s Ashes and was frustrated by ‘Tis. Teacher Man almost manages to be Frank McCourt’s saving grace.

Reading:

Skin and Other Stories, by Roald Dahl

I don’t think think I’ve read this one before. But I feel like I know half of the stories. It’s a good collection of odd stories.

The Golden Compass, by Phillip Pullman

Read this more than ten years ago, decided I might as well finish the series.

I shouldn't have, but I did. I bought another book. This was The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman, and then also the rest of the series. I've read the Golden Compass so far and I like it. It's quite quaint. I'm excited for the next book in the series, and I would have started already, but had little time on holiday last week. This week will be better.

I have been in such a slump for reading lately. Currently 6ish books behind on my reading challenge and I keep picking up books, getting about 50-100 pages in and just finding I'm not enjoying them so I put them down.

Luckily I am enjoying The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman in preparation for His Dark Materials to come out on HBO. I don't remember reading this when I was younger, so it's been fun. Also reading The Westing Game, by Ellen Raskin as a shorter book then I'll try Too Much Is Not Enough, by Andrew Rannells. Rannells is from the show Girls and on Broadway, so super curious for his memoir!

For Graphic novels I finished Low, Vol. 3: Shore of the Dying Light, by Rick Remender and I'm going to start Rick and Morty, Vol. 1, by Zac Gorman.

The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman

His Dark Materials has been on my mind since BBC announced a new adaptation and then I found out there was a new trilogy (old news but new to me) set before the trilogy so I thought it would be a good time to start reading it. I bought all three books and am halfway through book 1. The first 40 pages were kinda slow for me cause I didn't "catch" the series but it's going fine for me now. Hope to finish all three books in a week or two.
