Dealbreaker(s): 18+ folk only please

I Recently Finished Reading: Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky (MG fantasy adventure), A Rival for Rivingdon (m/m historical romance), Should the sky Fall (m/m paranormal romance)
A Book I Want to Reread: All for the Game series by Nora Sakavic (it's been a while, so I'd like to reread them all!) There's a new one? There's a new one!
Some Published Titles From My To Be Read List: Winter's Orbit by Everina Maxwell, The Martian by Andy Weir, everything R. Cooper has ever written (I've read a lot of Cooper's books lately, loved them all, and have reconciled with the fact I'm going to need to read everything she's written, ever), more books by E.M. Lindsey (currently reading Lindsey's Forget-Me-Not, liking it so far!), Veo Corva's Tombtown series, John Scalzi's Old Man's War series, March to the Sea by David Weber and John Ringo, more Biggles books by W.E. Johns, I've got a couple of C.J. Cherryh books I wanna dig into, and countless others. More can be found on my reading log! (Although I'm pretty bad at adding books to that list, assume there's an additional 200+ books I wanna read that aren't on there, lmao.)
A Book Not-Yet-Published I'm Excited About: I'm not connected enough to a book-community to know what books are on the docket, but whatever R. Cooper publishes next I guess, lol.
Related Book News I've Got My Eye On: Curious to see how the Murderbot adaptation is going to go down.

My All-Time Favorite Book(s): Lily Mayne's Monstrous series, Viano Oniomoh's Cupid Calling, R. Cooper's A Suitable Consort
My Favorite Book Genre(s): Sci-Fi, Fantasy, (M/M) Romance
A Book I Recommend in My Favorite Genre(s): (in addition to my favorite books) The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer, Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, Impromptu Match by Lily Mayne, Little Wolf by R. Cooper
A Genre I'm Interested in Trying Out: I'm dipping my toes in the LitRPG genre with He Who Fights With Monsters by Shirtaloon, so perhaps something more in that vein (I'm not done with book 1 yet, but liking it so far).

R. Cooper and CJ Cherryh are some of my faves!

[quillpunk]

Cooper is so good, definitely one of my all-times fav's right now! And I have some of Cherryh's books but haven't actually read any of them yet, but I've heard good things and am excited! They seem so cool and I do love sci-fi :D

I've had Tristan Strong… on my TBR for ages but it always seems to come in while I'm in the middle of, like, six other books and I don't have time for it! I'll have to make time because this reminds me how much I want to read it.

Do you read a lot of MG?

[quillpunk]

Yeah, Tristan Strong was good! I hope you get time to read it :D

I read my fair share of MG; it's probably not what I read the most (that's gotta be romance, I think) but I do like MG and if I see something that's up my alley genre-wise (fantasy and horror and sci-fi and so on) and it's available to me read: can i talk my local library into purchasing it, lol I'm likely to give it a try. What about you?

[matsushima]

I used to/usually do. Lately I've been reading more adult nonfiction and romance - I think I needed a break because I read MG for work (school librarian). I still read some, but my leisure reading is usually something I wouldn't be getting for the [elementary school] library.

[glitteryv]

Oh, R. Cooper! I know I read the first 4 books from the Being(s) in Love series, but can't recall why I stopped there. In any case, your comment made me go check out Cooper's books in my local library and I found (and have added) EIGHT new-to-me books by Cooper! \o/

So thanks for that. :DDD

[quillpunk]

R. Cooper's books are so good, I want to just devour them all <3 Super glad your library has so many of them; I hope you enjoy them! :D
