I found a science fiction book named "The Dark Between the Stars" by Kevin J. Anderson, in a book store when I was doing a general shopping trip to the nearest (that's 24 kilometers for me) shopping mall. Good literature in English is hard to find where I live, and it seemed decent, so I took it. And it hasn't been a disappointment. Only thing bad about it is that there is an earlier series by the author, which this book and its upcoming sequels are continuation for. So, I get references to past events which I haven't read about, and spoilers to the earlier series.

Just started 'Blackberry Wine' by Joanne Harris. So far so good!

"Station Eleven" by Emily St. John Mandel

It reminds me of Stephen King's "The Stand". But this story is more character driven and a bit lighter on the horror aspect of the end of the world.

About half way through 'Coastliners' by Joanne harris. Another good read. I am really enjoying her books.

"After Party" by Daryl Gregory

It is a science fiction book about a drug that makes you have vivid hallucinations about God. Our protagonist wants to stop a new "church" that is coming up, because people who go off the drug end up going homicidal. The protagonist is a 40-ish lesbian, which was a total surprise, but the author does a good job of not sensationalizing that fact. Actually I would say the book is pretty queer-friendly, despite it being about drugs.

You're welcome!

I am reading "Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix". My favorite Harry Potter hands down. Also a nice late summer or winter read because of its size.

'The Invention of Wings' by Sue Monk Kidd. Very good!

[FreyasRedemption]

Stephen King's "Doctor Sleep".
Still can't read that stuff in bed. I get paranoid enough at night, even without reading horror literature.

I'm now reading the Oz series but it's becoming trying and I'm only in book two.
I'm waiting for The Shepherd's Crown, the last book by Terry Pratchett.

'Off Season' by Anne Rivers Siddons. This is the second book by her that I have read. I like her stuff. Easy going.

[Valwen]

well not reading anything right now but I have spent more time in the last few years reading the dresden files than anything else, they are so good, so much fun I can even forget about the compleat lack of or negitive representation of LGBT people in the books.

If you liked Luna and Being Emily then you should check out Just Girls also by Rachel Gold. Emily plays a small part in it.
