Currently, I am reading The Stand by Stephen King. Years ago, I ended up reading it halfway through and stopped for whatever reason. I don't remember why. I know I find the story fascinating. But, to help me get through this monster of a book, I also purchased an audiobook. I get lost easily and my eyes get really tired after a while. The audiobook helps a lot with that.
So, what are you currently reading?

I just finished the Forsaken Lands trilogy by Glenda Larke last week, and haven't really given much thought to what I'm going to pick up next.
I have a couple of nonfiction books that I'm flipping through currently (Marie Kondo's books on tidying and the 8-Week cure book by Apartment Therapy). That's about it. I don't really count those because I can't sit down with them for hours like I can with fiction.

What's Forsaken Lands about? Is it fantasy? I might check into it if it's fantasy. =)

@owlandbutterfly I'll have to see if my local library has a copy and then pick it up. I'm a sucker for good books.

@missjackie It is. I'm a total sucker for good fantasy stories, and Glenda Larke's don't disappoint. I enjoyed her Stormlord books, too.
This particular trilogy starts off following a priest who also serves as a spy for the head of his faith. He encounters a foreign sailor while on a mission for her, and ends up being wounded when the sailor seemingly throws his dagger at him. The dagger is actually a magical artifact, and basically has a mind of its own. It ends up leading him on a journey across the seas to the sailor's homeland, and then finally back home to face off with the greater evil.

I've never read the lunar chronicles. What's it about?

I read The Stand decades ago. I am currently reading an Inspector Wexford mystery by Ruth Rendell.
