    I currently can only read free books (open for recommendations, although I think I wrung the classics dry for all their worth), but I found a book in one of those mobile libraries that does actually have me hooked: The Innocent by Harlan Coben.

    It’s not even close to being the best book I ever read. But it’s well written enough and well plotted enough to keep me hooked. Probably my biggest gripe is the author’s description of the women is how attractive they are. Even when he’s describing the protagonists’ wife, he only describes how much the main character thinks she’s hot. Not a complete turn-off, but still a gripe. 😅

    I really enjoyed This is How You Lose The Time War it’s a very touching and unique sapphic romance book filled with subtle world building and fascinating concepts. I’m also finishing upWay of Kings from Sanderson’s The Stormlight Archives and I’m thoroughly enjoying it!
