Lately, I have been trying to go through some of my TBR list and read a few books. I am reading Johnny Creep Detective Carl Street hunts down a brutal serial killer by Daniel Cane and Look Behind You by Sibel Hodge . I love an occasional short story just for a quick read. I really enjoy them when they are spicy!

Is anyone else looking through there TBR file to see what "nuggets" are hiding inside?

E.G. Moore (emilygmoorewriter) | 19 comments I’ve got a small list going of what I’m reading. Usually don’t read this many at once but there have been a lot of good releases lately.

Crown of Glass by Alice Ivinya just came out … fae Cinderella retelling that is amazing writing. I read the novella prequel and enjoyed the world building.

BETA reading Natural Disaster by Alena Orrison, which releases in October. Low fantasy women’s fiction that touches on some great themes like grief, control, and family.

The Assassin’s Sin by Libby Webber, which released in March. Adult thriller/action with a lot of cursing. Lol.

Safe House. Non-fiction parenting book.

The Brown House by Christy Sloat----to try something new
Midlife Fairy Hunter by Shannon Mayer---Audio book

Starlight Web by Yasmine Galenorn---To try a new series and I like this author

I usually don't read that many at once, either. I have a hard time keeping the plotlines and characters straight if I read too many at once.

I went through my Goodreads TBR pile recently, too. I got a Barnes and Noble gift card for Christmas, so I used that to buy myself some books off my Goodreads TBR list. I was at the thrift store the other day, and also noticed [book:American Dirt|45721673], which I've had on my list for awhile, so I bought that.

Cool, let me know what you think. Love to hear any thoughts on it.

Darielle Pettem I am currently reading the fantasy series - The Keeper Origins by JA Andrews. I really enjoy epic fantasy and hers is interesting - I am invested in the characters, there are twists, and she is funny. I also like that she is an indie author. I am on the third in the trilogy.

I really enjoy books that have humor in them. I love the Forty Proof series for this reason. Midlife Bounty Hunter (Forty Proof, #1) by Shannon Mayer is the first book in the series!

John Maniscalco | 4 comments I always read several books at a time for some reason. If I’m reading a novella, I’ll finish it before moving on. But right now I’m reading The Cabin at the End of the World (by Paul Tremblay), House Squatch (by Brian G Berry) and Nikon Cyberpunk short story collection (by Brian Barr).

E.G. Moore (emilygmoorewriter) | 19 comments So I discovered audiobooks this year to help pass the commute time and time spent running my teenager around. (She'll get her license soon.) Now I can't stop! LOL. I'm currently listening to Melanie Cellier's The Princess Game. I read it before but I'm enjoying the narrator. I'm also real reading The House Witch 3, The Awakened Prince: Sleeping Beauty Retelling, and Pumpkin Wars by Kendra E Ardnek.

I get into retelling grooves a lot. lol.

Pumpkin War: The True Story of Cinderella
The Princess Game: A Reimagining of Sleeping Beauty
The Awakened Prince
The House Witch 3

I am reading too many things but I really like each one of them.
Midlife Soul Hunter (Forty Proof, #8) by Shannon Mayer , The Ritual (L.O.R.D.S., #1) by Shantel Tessier , The Brown House (The Visitor's Series Book 1) by Christy Sloat , The Cabin by Natasha Preston and just started Silence (The Reaper Chronicles Book 5) by Apryl Baker .

Two of these are the last books in the series and I will be sad to see the series go.
