I just finished Stephen King's newest book The Institute. Obviously Fiction and ai would put it in the Supernatural horror/ suspense genre. I'll give it 5 stars. I really enjoyed it. I just started Old Bones by Douglass Preston and Lincoln Child. Also a fiction book. It's the first book in a new series for them and I honestly have no idea what it's about yet. I buy everything certain authors put out without even reading the descriptions so when I saw they had something new I bought it. LOL

I'm never read a full book

Minus the kids books I've read to my kids. I think reading us a total waste of time

I typically do not read too many historical fiction books, but am glad you enjoyed it.

So far a good read. This the second book I read by her.
In the woods by the same author is on my TBR list too.

He was the Secret Service agent assigned to Mrs. Kennedy during the kennedy administration and until Nov of 64.

I have another of his books about being in the secret service and guarding other US Presidents, very good book.
I have never read anything similar, but I could understand the appeal.

I really do not re-read books. I have too many I want to read first. I wonder if I will ever get to a place where I read them again.

The Alienist is an older one, at the very bottom of one of my lists, lol.

I do like Stephen king, although The Institute got quite a few mixed reviews, more than usual I thought. I have skipped over it so far.

I just finished this one and am about to start #2 in the series of 3.
5 stars. But I like post-apocalyptic shit so it's probably not for everyone.


(also it's free to download on Amazon right now if you have a kindle and prime)
I can’t say I have an opinion, on post-apocalyptic, have never read much of that genre.love Amazon though, get plenty of books from there!

I save my re-reading for nights I have difficulty falling asleep. I can’t do that with books I’m reading for the first time, at least, not if I actually want to go to sleep.

The Alienist is really good. I think Carr did well on giving the feel for the era and climate he wrote about.
