The Book of Dust by Philip Pullman. I'm a big fan of the trilogy, His Dark Materials, and I'm loving this one so far.

Just started reading 'All the Light We Cannot See' by Anthony Doerr... loving it, rarely steam through books (I have an annoying tendency to drag them out over a month or more) but am already halfway through after 2 days :laugh: Great settings and characters.

Is it a sequel to the HDM trilogy?

Prequel!

I'm waiting for my mum to finish it so I can have it haha

Just finished The Subtle Knife (God I'm becoming a slow reader). Brilliant once again and some great plot twists that genuinely caught me off guard which made up for my prior knowledge of the twists in Northern Lights :laugh:

I got it for Christmas as a gift from my grandma so I'm really looking forward to being able to jump right in once I've read The Amber Spyglass. Heard only good things.

Re-reading; The Case For Christ by Lee Strobel and To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

Since this (probably my favourite book of all time, if not a close 2nd/3rd) I've read:

- "About Grace" by the same author (Anthony Doerr). Found the protagonist extremely irritating and one of the least relatable/human ARSEHOLES I've ever read but at the same time the story was pretty rich and odd.
- "The Sympathizer" by Viet Thanh Nguyen. I've been trying to steam through the books that've won Pulitzer prizes because the couple I'd already read were terrific - this wasn't any different. A novel about espionage, the Vietnamese revolution, dual citizenship and never quite belonging, it's pretty explosive and moving.
- "Days Without End" by Sebastian Barry. A very sweet and strange gay love story set in the American civil war, with many deeply loveable characters.
- "Giovanni's Room" by James Baldwin. Very short and tragic story, quite full of histrionics and dark characters, but enjoyed it a lot.

And am now making a headstart on:
- "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote. Well it's about time really given me and this forum :whistle: Never knew anything about the case it portrays but it's just written so fascinatingly and whilst I can see why it received such notoriety and scandal upon publishing, it's interesting how much it's noticeably changed fiction and journalism alike since it just seems so matter-of-fact to the modern reader.
- "The Girl Who Takes an Eye for an Eye" by David Lagercrantz - enjoyed his first take on the Millenium trilogy continuation, hopefully I enjoy his second.
