I've started a couple other books but i don't know if or when I'll finish them as I enjoy reading Connelly more.

Not a book, but a series. 2nd book specifically of the manga series Black Bird.

My brother and sister-in-law got me a box set of it not knowing it's a shoujo series (less action and more romance focused) and so far it's interesting enough to keep me interested.

The latest Thrawn book

[-] zemon@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Kazohinia by Sándor Szathmári. It's a fun double dystopia, especially fun once you recognize our own world.

[-] MildlyIncorrect@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Match Game, book 14 of the series Expeditionary Force.

I need to pick Cracker! Back up, i started reading it in 8th grade by borrowing it from my English teacher, found it years later on amazon. I just have an issue with not wanting to read books anymore after havign the fun sucked out of them due to public school book tests.

The Fight Club, I can't get myself to finish it, knowing how it ends because of the movie does not help either.

Dark Age by Pierce Brown, part of the Red Rising series

Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI by David Grann

I usually don't stay engaged with non-fiction, but this book I couldn't put down.

Elantris by Brandon Sanderson. Actually I'm at 52%. The reason I stopped because of exams

[-] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

I don't know if it counts as "in the middle", but I left off reading a book about heaven 8 had borrowed from my mom before I lost religion, and completely lost interest in it.

Don't think I'll ever go back, but that's the book I left unfinished. Haven't read anything in years. I was big on audiobooks for a while before I couldn't afford audible anymore.

Used to have a job that I could listen while I worked on my own and because of that I was able to go through a bunch of them.

One I get through my current medical condition (probably a few years off) and I go back to work, I hope I get another job like that.
