I guess it would extend my already-too-long list of books to read, but of course I'd appreciate it if you could suggest something!

It is only 274 pages and I was able to read about 50 pages. So, I only have 224 pages or so left. If I start reading early enough tomorrow I could probably finish it. If not I am hoping to read 124 pages tomorrow so that I can finish it Thursday before I go hang out with friends.

This novel sounds really intriguing. It's basically told over the course of a six episode podcast (similar to the podcast serial?) and it is about they 'owner' of the podcast trying to figure out what really happened when some guy was mysteriously found dead back in 1998. The cops ruled it accidental but people disagree. It seems like the novel focuses on getting the 'true' story from six people who knew the person that died. Somewhere in the synopsis it says "Six stories but only one is true". It has been getting relatively good reviews from people who have read it but it isn't overly hyped (not a ton of people are reading it and raving about it which tends to happen with hyped books). It is also really short (225 pages) so I am hoping to be able to finish it by the end of this weekend.

Still The Name of the Wind... I've read around 60% on holidays, and another 30% since the beginning of September. I guess it's high time I finished it eventually.

I also have like 12 graphic novels and manga that I want to try and get to. Hopefully that will end up happening. There are two graphic novels that are relatively big (250-500 pages) so I might end up skipping those.

Heartsick was very good but I can see how it might be triggering to people. It is definitely violent. I hope to continue on with the series. I think there is six books total so I have five left.
I didn't want to continue on with that series quite yet though so I am going to be reading this. I think it's like a zombie/survival/virus type novel? I remember learning about it last year but I am not 100% certain what it is about. All I know is it is supposed to be good.
I might not end up starting it till tomorrow though.

This is one of the picks for my book club. I tend to enjoy Steinbeck so I wanted to give it a chance. Also, it's only 212 pages or something along those lines so it should be relatively easy to get through. Although, it is likely it will have a depressing ending.

I've been working on this book for over a month and I'm barely 100 pages in. I really want to get back into reading, and I'm trying. I do really enjoy this book!
