To begin 2018, I am starting on Robert Tressell's 1914 classic about the British working class poor, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

I am currently reading The Demonologist by Gerald Brittle. I have an "obsession" for everything having to do with the supernatural/paranormal and I am really enjoying The Demonologist. For anyone not familiar it's about the career of Ed & Lorraine Warren. I've watched the documentaries and videos and such I've been able to find on their work but this is the first book I've read.

I’m currently reading Star Wars: A New Hope. I’ve always been a huge fan of the series and have been meaning to read the books for a while now.

Just started reading Note to Self by Connor Franta. I want to try reading into memoirs since I only read contemporary fictions mostly young adults. I'd love to know real people's ideas and thoughts and learn from it.

I got A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles for Xmas - I've just come home from 2 years in Moscow! It's historical fiction, about a Count who's under house arrest in the Hotel Metropol. It's brilliant. Really well written, witty narrative, great characters. Definitely 4 out of 4 so far :-)

I am currently reading "And Then I Met Margaret" by Rob White. So far, I am not really into the story. I can't find it interesting no matter how hard I try.
