New Year Reads?

Post by Greg_Seebregts »

Hey guys and gals!

Just thought I'd share one of the books I plan to read in the new year: the Great Zoo of China by Matthew Reilly. I've wanted to read this ever since I'd heard about it and I got a copy for Christmas so that's definitely one of my first reads for 2018.

What are some of your reads for the new year if you have any?

Probably read the second book in 'A Song of Ice and Fire' series, as I've been pretty close to starting it recently, anyway.

Hopefully, I'll finally get around to The Martian.

Really, there are just too many!

What is grief, if not love persevering?

Grief is just love with no place to go.

Looks like we've got quite a bit of variety for the new year; how cool is that?
