What’re ye reading friday
May. 8th, 2026 08:18 pmSo I’ve seen ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
yarnofariadne do this, think of doing it myself and every time I’ve thought about it not so… here’s the first one. It’s not gonna be weekly though.
What have you recently finished reading?
Book wise nothing since Hawkins Horrors, which was a Stranger Things book set before season 4 where some of the characters tell each other scary stories. It was pretty good! Most of the stories were really good and it was a nice fun read.
Comic wise was the free comic book day comics I mentioned in the last post, Minotaur and Lego Batman. Before that was Fantastic 4.
Graphic novel wise I honestly can’t remember.
What are you currently reading?
I have three books I’m currently reading though I’ve not read them recently.
First is Heated Rivalry. I picked it up from Asda earlier in the year and read a few chapters and then read a few more but I just… stalled. I know it’s partly cause of the drilling which made reading hard in general, but also my energy has been so off too which has made reading hard.
But I have enjoyed what I read. For those that don’t know it’s about Ilya and Shane, two rival ice hockey players who also… well they fuck. I’m not too far into it (and I need to watch more of the show too) but I do love these boys. I still don’t know much about Hockey though.
Second is Strange Pictures, which I have on my kindle and not read since 5SOS, though I have meant to. I did read the first full story (there’s four I think?). The first story, at least, is about a set of drawings posted on a blog that at first don’t seem to be unusually but as the story goes on you realise they have another meaning. The first one ended so eerie and I’m curious to read the rest, I just haven’t had the focus.
The third is The Mandalorian Visual Guide. I’d read some of the first section but again, stalled. I do always love these guides (I still need to finish the acolyte one, it got moved and I never went back to it). I’m a sucker for Star Wars guides, learning more about ships and races and characters. They’re always so interesting (and I’m so hyped for the new film).
Also I’m technically reading Flight Of Icarus, another Stranger Things novel about Eddie but… it’s awol. I’ve no idea where it’s gone and haven’t seen it in months.
What will you be reading next?
Book wise I wanna read one of my new Agatha Christie books though I’m not sure which. I had intended to do this years Read Christie and… this year got away from me.
Other than that I have a bunch of unread books that I really need to get through which are mounting. (I’ve not read a Star Wars one in so long and I wanna get Clown In A cornfield 2 and the Stranger Things Dustin book).
Comic wise I have the rest of the Free Comic book day comics to read, plus the latest Fantastic 4 and the first issue of the Maul comic. First there’s the pile of Exquiste Corpses comics and the umbrella academy ones (I’ve way behind on getting them oop)
Graphic novel wise I wanna read the Star Wars ones I’ve got and the Marvel Rivals one I picked up.
I’m sure I’m missing ones but…
Now it’s time to watch David Attenborough's 100 Years on Planet Earth and then likely game (mum’s gone to sleep so The Pitt will likely be this weekend). I might finish the who audio I had on last night (Red Dawn) but we’ll see.
