Im so excited to read magic lessons. I just purchased it

kstevens102315 · October 9, 2020, 2:34am

My name is Katie. I’ve just started getting into reading books and I’m truly loving it. The childen’s train was my first win and It was a great read. I’m currently reading Family upstairs by Lisa Jewell and I’m hooked.

I’m excited to start reading magic lesson:)

Hi! Sorry I missed the party. Back working on site and life…it is what it is!

My name Janet. I have been reading but maybe not as fast as I did but still reading. I admit, I have been sticking mostly to cozies or starting some Christmas books. Anything to take me away and keep me distracted in a good way.

While down, one book I liked was Guest List by Lucy Foley. More of a thrilled but no nightmares. Another, with a lighter note was an arc of The Twelve Dates of Christmas by Jenny Bayliss. It was fun and publishes 11/13 if I remember right.

I most look forward to any holiday books and ones that make me smile during this time of year.

Thanks for mentioning Holidaze! I just added it to my list

nina_chan01 · October 9, 2020, 5:25pm

Hi, my name is Adriana, but feel free to call me Nina since it’s the name I use for all my hobbies
Best book is hard to decide, but I recently read Addie LaRue and it’s worthy of all the hype and more.
A book I’m excited to read soon is Tsarina by Ellen Alpsten (Nov can’t come soon enough).

nina_chan01 · October 9, 2020, 5:29pm

It’s not exactly top of all time because that’s impossible to decide, but I recently read the Bow Street Bachelors by Kate Bateman and I loved every single thing about them. Totally the one I’m recommending lately.

purplebanana0808 · October 9, 2020, 6:28pm

My name is Hannah! I would love to meet more bookish people :). I just recently read I’m Not Your Manic Pixie Dream Girl (which I really liked! <3). A book I’m excited to read is too hard because of my long list of tbr! But I think I’ll be reading Storm Siren next. Please let me know what else to add to my TBR!

purplebanana0808 · October 9, 2020, 6:30pm

Oooh! I love cozies and Christmas books! I read A Very Lucky Christmas a couple of days ago and it is too cute for words! I’ve also read Twelve Dates of Christmas! How did you like it?

fireformed · October 9, 2020, 8:23pm

Ooh, I’ll have to check that one out. I’ve not heard of that series before.
Thanks for the recommendation!

lrk782 · October 9, 2020, 8:37pm

Thank you so much for all the suggestions! Ive actually never heard of any of them so I’m SO excited to check them out! Again, thank you so much for such a thoughtful response!

kshocks · October 9, 2020, 8:44pm

Yay welcome back!! My nickname is Katie, the best book I’ve read since the forum was down was In the Dream House, and a book I’m excited to read soon is Clap When You Land.

kshocks · October 9, 2020, 8:46pm

Hey Katie–I’m also Katie!

I have The Family Upstairs sitting on my shelf just waiting to be read. I read Watching You by the same author earlier in the year and loved it. Happy reading!

janet · October 9, 2020, 8:50pm

I really liked the 12 Dates. Different approach and I liked seeing how it would play out. Fun read.

brooklynblogsbooks · October 10, 2020, 1:44am

I’m Brooklyn, and I think the best book I’ve read is Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko? It completely raised my standards for YA fantasy. As for a book I’m excited to read soon, my copy of The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by V.E. Shwab is on its way, so I’m pretty hyped for that : )

brooklynblogsbooks · October 10, 2020, 1:51am

Ooooh The Bone Witch. I read that a couple years ago and have vague recollections of it being pretty good??? Clearly I either a) read too many books (impossible) because I can’t remember anything ever, or b) just have a really bad memory. Actually, that one is probably true regardless.

breana_m · October 10, 2020, 3:59am

Hi everyone. My name is Breana. One of my favorite recent reads is The Bright and Breaking Sea by Chloe Neill. And a book I’m looking forward to reading soon is Artificial Condition by Martha Wells.

breana_m · October 10, 2020, 4:00am

It’s been a while since I read The Bone Witch, and I also remember really liking the story. This reminds me that I need to check out the rest of the books in the series.

katet16 · October 10, 2020, 7:24am

Hi, I’m Kate. The best book I’ve read since the forum was down was The Silent Patient. Very suspenseful! I’m looking forward to reading To Sleep in a Sea of Stars as I read the First Look, but didn’t win the raffle. Happy to be back on the Forum!

katet16 · October 10, 2020, 7:35am

I was hoping to receive Skyhunter as I LOVE Marie Lu’s books (I’ve read them all too!), so I’ll have to wait patiently until I can get my hands on it since I did’t win the raffle.
