I can't remember the last book I read, possibly Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx.
Currently reading reading The Call of the Weird by Louis Theroux.
About him returning to America to meet up with the people he did his documentaries on... Great read. |

"I'm reading IT again. Thought I'd refresh my memory ready for the film later this year. "
That's a good idea - I should have put an IT quote in the Movie quotes thread |

I'm currently continuing my Stuart McBride kick, but couldn't for the life of me remember what the last one, or this one, is called. They're sort of blurring in to one, but that's cool. |

Last one was "His Bloody Project" by Graeme Macrae Burnet and The Pursuit of Love" by Nancy Mitford -- I was double fisting!
Next is "The Golden Notebook" by Doris Lessing and "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood.
I'm doing a reading challenge this year. |

I love Margaret Atwood! She came to do a seminar for a few of us a few years back and she was amazing. |

I'm very excited about reading her, it's my first of hers and I *know* I'm going to love it, it's ridiculous that I'd not read any of hers already -- but it's going to feel like finally allowing yourself that treat that you'd been putting off -- delayed gratification for the win! |

Erm, no. I knew about it before; I might have done something similar for a friend on here . But I did fangirl over your thread.
Oh, don't be sad. We can recreate it. |

I just tonight finished The Night Circus.
I'd like to read The Girl With All the Gifts next but some idiot (me) put it at the bottom of a 7 foot tall pile of books. I'll probably read something nearer the top instead.
With my monsters the last book we read was Woof and we're currently reading some tripe from the Sea Quest series. Chosen by them because it had a shiny crab on the cover just like Tamatoa (curse you Disney for your catchy songs and lovable villains). Next up will likely be a re-read of Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman. |

Last read was Love You Dead, the latest in the excellent Roy Grace, crime thriller series by Peter James.
Currently reading The Bees by Laline Paull which is a fictional story about a bee in a hive and her trials and tribulations which is a little different but very good and superbly written. |

"Last one I read was outlander and current one is leviathan. "
I couldn't get through Leviathan, it really depressed me.
My last book was Labyrinths by Jorges Luis Borges.
Current is Fear and Loathing but I expect I'll finish that before I sleep.
And my next one will be one of Malcolm Gladwell's but I haven't decided which yet. |

Well i always wondered that and i have to admit over the last couple of years I have been fascinated with Romanov family and read every single book possible about them . At one point I thought I was getting obsessed looking for clues and looking into conspiracy theory behind it .

It's a really interesting subject. We watch any tv programs about them and their connection with our royal family. If the King had allowed them to come to this country it would have been a very different outcome, obviously. Sad story |
