Hey there, I am curious what everyone is reading and how you are feeling with it. I started demon copperhead yesterday, made it about 70 pages in and decided to read the first book in the chthulu CaseBooks. It's a kinda retelling of Sherlock Holmes but with a Lovecraft quist.

I am digging it so far, about 50% through and it's a fun ride.

So what are you all reading?

I'm trying to claw my way out of a reading slump, so I went for a little stroll in the library. Went home with The Cat Who Saved Books by Sosuke Natsukawa and A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. I needed something not too overwhelming.

I've started on The Cat Who Saved Books. It's about a high school kid who has inherited his grandfather's bookshop, which he is then planning to sell. A cat shows up and demands his help with saving some books that are trapped.

To be honest, I didn't know what the books were about when I picked them up, so I can't say much about A Monster Calls at this moment. I've heard good things about the author and I digged the illustrations.
