tsar4 Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 What are these "books" of which you speak? The word seems familiar.
Seight Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 God, I haven't heard that name in years. "books."

katt_goddess Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 https://www.goodreads.com/ Are you on there? I can't remember if you were in the [ asmb ] book club or not. It hasn't been active in a couple of years in any rate. If not totally go there, register, set the challenge and record the books you read there as you go. It's the easiest thing I've found to keep track of my reading goals anyway.

But at least excel numbers your lines so you still know either way. *goes back to reading...
Gemini Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 I need some good mystery novels. Any suggestions?

new_disease Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 I too should start keeping track of the ones I read. I still have a couple books I bought but haven't even opened.

You must be downloading these books like Neo learning kung fu in the matrix Expand They are still by the computer waiting to be put away properly. The Return of Odin - Richard Rudgley. 304 pages, I treated each chapter like an individual lecture and just blazed through them when at home. Book is so-so, I think they mistitled it but meh. The Testaments - Margaret Atwood. 431 pages. Really fast read for me since I just fell into it and would read during my lunch breaks. Ended up sitting down yesterday and just finishing it. Fragments of Horror - Junji Ito. 223 pages. Horror manga, I read that in like an hour yesterday after I finished The Testaments. I'm now currently chewing on The Joker Psychology : Evil Clowns and the women who love them - Travis Langley. 366 pages. If a book is really interesting, I just fall into it. I tend to alternate genres because of that in order to rest / reset my brain between books.
schmahxgn Posted January 6, 2020 Posted January 6, 2020 My first read of 2020 was "On Spice" by Caitlin Penzey-Moog. It was an interesting prose on the history of spices, their Origins, and their history. 1
