I’m about 70% through the second Jurassic Park book and it’s ok. People on /r/books seemed to think it was even better than the first, but it feels like a slog compared to the first. I’m looking forward to moving on to Stephen King’s The Stand.

    I’m shamelessly entering my romantasy / book tok era… I’m working my way through the throne of glass series now.

    For the record my taste is not always such trash. My phase before this one was all the Hugo / Nebula award winners.

      I’ve been in a m/m romance era last year and I still enjoy many young adult books at 35+. just enjoy yourself! There is no shame! I’ve re read The Hunger Games last week and I still enjoyed the first one.

      Oh god Throne of Glass… even at 13 I thought that series sucked but each to their own! I’m currently in the Hugo phase a bit, or at least I wanna be when I’m done with the 5 books I’m in the middle of.

        I haven’t read ToG yet… just finished ACOTAR… and I agree, it’s terrible, but imho it’s terrible the same way that “love is blind” is, and I can’t get enough of either. It’s a whole dang pendulum swing away from Hugo award winners though that’s for sure.
