Almost finished 'The Strain' by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan
Purchased this book a couple of days ago. 230 pages in and really liking it. What do/did you think of the book?

Still making my way through Bonk by Mary Roach. Not enjoying it all that much. I guess its too science-y for me? Hoping I can find the motivation to finish it soon so I can start up another book asap!

I used to use any scrap piece of paper or price tags from clothes as bookmarks. At the beginning of this year I bought myself a Joker (the Dark Knight) bookmark and have been using it since. I've collected "the Office" and "True Blood" bookmarks since then

Finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society yesterday. Enjoyed the book, thought it was cute! Started The Shack tonight, 80 pages in. I like it so far. I'm not religious and up to this point the books religious subject hasn't gotten annoying or anything. I'm curious to see how this turns out
