Aww. Henry looks like he could just fall asleep in his mommy's arms. 🧡🐈

[@RoadReads]

He’s snoring next to me now. 🐈

[@barbarabook8461]

I love Henry !

[@RoadReads]

Thank you! He's such a sweet, talkative cat!

[@DrL_Reads]

Interesting list! Gave me some ideas!

[@RoadReads]

Wonderful! Happy reading!

hi Susan! Oh Henry needs a nap! 😂 I think I read Lucy Barton a long long time ago… I need to start all over before I can read the new one. A winter project maybe?! 😅

[@RoadReads]

Henry has taken over half my bed right now. 😂 That cat can stretch out! A Lucy re-read would be good! (I dnf’d the 2nd book in the series, but I love the others: My Name is Lucy Barton, Oh William, and Lucy by the Sea.) Happy Saturday nite!

@@RoadReads I just went and read my blog post back in 2017 and I did not like Lucy Barton! Oops! 😅😂 So now I don’t know if I should get into this project…

[@RoadReads]

😂😂yeah, I’d say skip it then. 😂🤗

I read All the Colors of the Dark and I agree with you that it’s more literary fiction than thriller. I loved it and thought the characters were so interesting and unique. Definitely will reread it someday. I read his last book, We Begin at the End and really enjoyed it. And I just bought Tall Oaks which I hear a lot of good things. I think he’s a great writer.

[@RoadReads]

So you’d recommend We Begin at the End? I’ll put a library hold on it!

[@cathyg.9996]

@@RoadReads Yes, it was my first read of his and I was impressed! Looking forward to your thoughts on it! ❤️

[@CGyog]

The only vampire book I have read (& do highly recommend) is the original - Dracula by Bram Stoker = Amazing!! Can’t wait to read Tell Me Everything!! So glad to hear it is out now. I definitely enjoyed All The Colors of the Dark, and yes, I am a literary fiction reader.

[@RoadReads]

All the Colors really delivered to the final page, didn’t it?! Hope you enjoy Tell Me Everything! I sure did! 😁

[@guillotine이다비다]

Just before you mentioned the vampire book, I was expecting A Little Life.😂

[@RoadReads]

[@joniheisenberg]

I finished “All The King’s Men” and it will stand as the best book I have ever read. The last line of the novel is on par with that of “The Great Gatsby.”I had to slow my reading down when I got to the last 200 pages as I didn’t want the novel to end.I’m in a quandary as to what to read next. I think I may have to concentrate on non fiction at this juncture, as I fear I will be sorely disappointed in any novel I pick up. I may jump back into David Leeming’s biography of James Baldwin. Happy reading! 🥰📚

[@RoadReads]

Good idea to move to non-fiction next! No reason to ruin a perfectly good read due to the perfection of the last! Happy Saturday to you!! 🤎

[@nonisnest9718]

What a gorgeous boy is Henry! I’m going to reread Olive Kittredge and get started on the rest of the series.

[@RoadReads]

I tell Henry how handsome he is all the time! 😻

[@guillotine이다비다]

I’m not a fan of vampire stories, but I loved reading The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. One edition of Frankenstein includes her introduction. Frankenstein is one of your favorites, right?

[@RoadReads]

I thought Frankenstein was an amazing read! Am about to start a re-reading of it.

[@clarepotter7584]

Can't wait for your review of 'Go Set a Watchman'

[@RoadReads]

I’ll finish it today! Happy weekend! 🌸

[@karenwetherald6086]

My goodness, Henry is so gorgeous !!!! My very first pet ever was a huge ginger tom cat (that I had to name Ginger of course) I am team FOR Interview, but can certainly appreciate that it's not everyone's choice, I'll give you bonus points for sticking it through. The past 2 weeks I've been working on "The Diviners" by Margaret Laurence... hoping to finish this week so I can squeeze in "A Month In The Country". I can't wait to hear your thoughts on Go Set A Watchman

[@RoadReads]

Henry is indeed a handsome cat! 🐈🤎 he’s snoring right next to me now. 😂 Hope The Diviners is going well and that you’ll get to A Month! 🤎🤎

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

Awwww Henry!❤❤❤❤ I'm not for Interview with the Vampire either .... which is what makes "them" scary. (Although I never knew there was supposed to be such s e x u a l overtones. I just thought they were scary until I saw someone review the book.... and in read the OG Dracula. I apparently only knew the kid's version of a vampire.😂)

[@RoadReads]

Henry says hi and he agrees - no vampire stories for him either. 😻

[@betsymaher9489]

Have you read any of the Anthony Trollope Barchester Towers series? I haven't started it yet but I wonder if you might enjoy it.

[@RoadReads]

I’ve read the first book in the series and would love to read the second next month for Victober!

[@betsymaher9489]

@@RoadReads I've heard The Warden is the least favorite but that it pays to read it because all the books come together in the last book. I have The Warden but have so many books to read before that one. I listened to Steve Donoghue's book tube video about not subvocalizing and I probably need to do that because I'm very slow considering how many books I want to read. I even like to read aloud too.

[@RoadReads]

The Warden is quite good. And short. Especially for Trollope. 😃

[@TimeTravelReads]

I haven't found a lot of people on Booktube who read history. I have a US history project going on. I'm curious what else you've read on that topic?

[@RoadReads]

What part of US history is your project on? Or is US history in general? :) I focused a lot of the revolution and founding of our country. It all started with David McCullough's "John Adams". Once I read that I wanted to know more about Adams, Jefferson, Washington, Hamilton, Madison, etc. So lots of books on all of them. But I also went through a big Theodore Roosevelt period. Also books on Lincoln, FDR, etc. If you want specific titles let me know. And ages ago I did a video on history books that read like fiction. :)

[@TimeTravelReads]

@@RoadReads In January I started with the colonial period. My plan is to take years to go from there to the present, although I'm also skipping around sometimes. I like the 18th century as well. Did you hear that Lindsay Chervinsky just came out with a book about John Adams's presidency? I'm halfway through and it's really good. Rush by Stephen Fried is also really good.

[@RoadReads]

I have the Fried book on Rush but haven’t read it yet. And thank you for the heads up on the Adams book!
