Books Finished This Week: The Risk of Darkness (Simon Serailler #3), Susan Hill. This audiobook was so good … but the first book in the series, The Various Haunts of Men, remains my favorite of the 2.
Also Finished: Armada, Ernest Cline. The first 1/3rd of so was a bit too video-game intense for me, but it got better as the story-line progressed.
Currently Reading: Finder’s Keepers, Stephen King. I started this a few months back, but then had to return the library book as I was moving. Now, I have the eBook in my eager little fingers, and I’m rather enjoying it at the mo.
Current Audiobook: Horns, Joe Hill. I haven’t read anything by Joe Hill that I haven’t liked.

Wow! I have a lot of reading to do because there are some great links on this list! Thank you so much for including my wellness apps – I hope you try some of them out!
Jan @ Notes from a Readerholic
I loved both Armada and Ready Player One, but I recognize the gaming might not be everyone’s choice to read, Tanya! I love all the links. I’m going to investigate some of those! Good luck with Blog Ahead. I’m working on it, too. Have a great week.

@Jan. Armada turned out ok and I’m definitely a Cline fan.

You’re doing great on RIP X so far! A few things have gotten in my way, like Banned Books Week, a review book, and some book club books I will have to start at the end of the month.
I have heard a lot about Susan Hill but haven’t tried her novels yet. I really want to read Armada because I so loved Ready Player One – they are making it into a movie. I can’t wait!
Enjoy your books this week!

Had you already read REady Player One? I got an ARC of Armada, but ended up trading it for something else because I wasn’t sure if I’d like it as much. I’ve got 3 posts done for November, but I did also do some October posts ahead of time. I need to get on the Blog Ahead for after October though! Thanks for visiting my STS earlier!

@Lisa I read Ready Player One and loved it.

I’m Blogging Ahead, also. I got all my reviews cross-posted, which isnt really part of it, but needed to be done. And I’ve written 3 reviews an 2 weekly meme posts. My goal is to have all my reviews caught up and all my memes done through Christmas. Then I’ll just have Weekly updates and reviews to do as they come up. Good luck with yours!

@Elizabeth way to go!
