If you're not a member already, join Pawprints to celebrate National Reading Month:
clubs/1915

Pawprints is the YWS Book Club where you can discuss the books that you're reading.

But at any rate, what are you currently reading? Is it any good? Would you recommend it to others?

I'm currently re-reading The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. I love this book so much. It's epic fantasy at it's best, and it's really awesome. He's my favorite author.

I'd recommend it to anyone who loves high fantasy and fantasy worlds. His are so incredibly thought-out and detailed, it's amazing. (It is kinda long, though...1000 pages, but it doesn't get boring.)
We're all stories in the end.

I think of you as a fairy with a green dress and a flower crown and stuff.

I think you, @Deanie and I are like the Three Book Nerd Musketeers of YWS.

Snow by Orhan Pamuk - I'm slow, but so far, I'm really enjoy it.

I'm reading seven books >.> I have been picking up a lot of them and then felt in the mood to read something else. But the two I am enjoying most are Cinder by Marissa Meyer and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

And tomorrow is National Reading Day!

I'm reading... four books right now. I'm in the same boat as @Deanie XD Any fantasy buff should pick up the Farseer Trilogy by Robin Hobb (or anything at all by Robin Hobb, really. She's brilliant). If you're late to the Gone Girl party like I am, I suggest it if you like mystery. If you're into biographies, I'm reading a good one right now called The Destiny of a Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine, and and the Murder of a President by Candace Millard. It's about James Garfield and very well done. The fourth one isn't that great XD

I'm currently tackling 2666 by Roberto Bolano, which is an absolute tome of a novel. After a couple of fairly light sci-fi novels, it's a bit of a gargantuan effort, so I hope the pay off is worth it!

Started "The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern last night, and by "started" I mean "read over half until I forced myself to stop and try to get some sleep". So yeah, it's a really cool fantasy about a mysterious circus that is only open at night and a challenge between two magicians. It also checks the "read solely because of the cover" box of the 2015 reading challenge.

I'm currently reading Stardust by Neil Gaiman, and I'm quite enjoying it. I love the way British writing often sounds. :3
