Well, I just finished reading Angelfire by Courtney Allison Moulton and started reading the 2nd book out of 3 called Wings of the Wicked. I really like it. It has an interesting and engaging story and unique character personalities.

I just finished reading Virungas by Farley Mowat, a captivating biography of Dian Fossey, and I absolutely loved it. When I was a child I watched the movie Gorillas in the Mist and fell in love with Dian and her work, and always wanted to retrace her steps in the mountains, and when I fell upon Mowat's book by chance just a couple of days ago at a secondhand store I picked it up right away! Definitely an awesome read and sheds so much light on she was, giving countless excerpts from her own writing. Absolutely loved loved loved it, every page.

Right now, I am reading A New Song by Jan Karon -- No. 5 in her bestselling Mitford series. I read 1-3 in the series last year when I did a Goodreads reading challenge. Her books are certainly not "edgy" in any sense of the word, but they are engaging. Karon does a good job of introducing the characters and really diving into their personalities. While there isn't too much drama throughout the series, it is a good way to take a step back and read something entirely for pleasure without having to think too hard. Fair warning to all -- her books are Christian in nature, so they are certainly not for everyone. However, they are a quick, easy and delightful read for someone who might be interested in incorporating spirituality into their daily reading.

Right now I'm reading A Dance with Dragons by George R.R. Martin. I love how I can get lost in the story and time just flies by when I'm reading it. I am; however, excited to finish up with this series and jump into a completely different genre for a breath of fresh air.

I am currently reading Love and Chaos by Gemma Burgess. Its part of a newish series called Brooklyn Girls. I actually now it was until I started reading it and looked up the author. So I ordered the other two books to read as well. Plus it's good to read alone without the other books

I am currently rereading "A Walk to Remember" by Nicholas Sparks. I read it ages ago and watched the film plus bought the cd. And reading it a decade after made me remember how it was when I was younger. It is a good read. I am almost finished rereading it.

I am currently reading Ends by Gordon R. Dickson. It is a collection of short science fiction stories. They are great, with a bit sad mood because it is about things that have an ending, but I enjoy it.
