The Morning Star by Karl Ove Knausgård. Only read the first couple of chapters yet but I'm enjoying it so far.

Just started “Yumi and The Nightmare Painter”
Book of Leaves and Tao Te Ching
Blood Meridian by Cormac Mcarthy. Book is outright brutal but written in such a compelling way you can't help be want more. Fantastic writer.
The Neverending Story by Michael Ende
The latest Thrawn book
Star By Star. Reading through the old EU New Jedi Order books again. The old EU is the best part of Star Wars.
Sins of Empire by Brian McClellan
Empire of Ivory by Naomi Novik.
Douglas Adams Starship Titanic: A Novel by Terry Jones
I think that is the official title. It's set inside the wider Hitchhikers universe, but so far hasn't touched on the events of that series.
Did take my a fair bit of time to get Into it, but as I approach the halfway point it's definitely got me.
My notes for the next exam... Before that I was reading the Amaranthe series by G. S. Jennsen. I just finished the first three books which make up a trilogy of their own and don't want to start the sequel trilogy until exams are over because I have no self control
Five Little Pigs by Agatha Christie
The Bayern Agenda by Dan Moren. It’s decent. Wouldn’t say it’s my favorite yet and I’m halfway through. There’s a lot of talking in rooms for a political action sci-fi series. Pace is a bit slow for my taste.
The Book That Wouldn’t Burn by Mark Lawrence
Advanced Marathoning
Engine Summer by John Crowley. I'm only about 100 pages in, but liking it so far.
I haven’t started it yet but my next book is The Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds.
Within the last month or two I’ve read Song of Achilles, The Women Could Fly, The Book Eaters, and Babel. I’d recommend all of them, especially Babel.
I'm reading a few actually: Capital volume 2 by Marx, The Tondrakian Movement by Vrej Nersessian, and Primavera con una esquina rota by Mario Benedetti
Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff. It plays in a alternative medivial fantasy world where the sunlight gets blocked after a loud rumbling. It tells the story of a you man who gets recruited in a organization of hunters that kill the supernatural while the world gets conquered by the vampires, that can't be hurt by the sun anymore.
One of the best dark fantasy books, I have read in a long time.
The classic, The Fellowship of the Ring
Reading: Everything is Under Control by Robert Anton Wilson Listening: Galaxy Outlaws: The Complete Black Ocean Mobius Missions by J.S. Morin, Mikael Naramore (Narrator)
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 Time Hunters by Carl Ashmore, It's target audience is young but I enjoy books for any age so it's an easy read!
Kazohinia by Sándor Szathmári. It's a fun double dystopia, especially fun once you recognize our own world.
Latest Miss Peregrine book. Recently found out there were three more since I last read it, so I've been catching up this week.
