Quite hard what you're asking to be honest. I'm not sure how to talk about the last book I read without spoiling it, but I'll give it a shot.
Last book I read is Losing Hope (aka Hopeless Vol. 2) by Colleen Hoover. It's pretty much Hopeless 1, but while Hopeless is from HER perspective, Losing Hope is written in HIS perspective. What this means is that basically you read the same things described with different words with a few differences here and there. However, there are a few key things that you find out in the second volume and you'll definitely go through the same roller-coaster of emotions that Hopeless put you through, if not a crazier one.

About the book? It's a drama which revolves around, you guessed it, a relationship. There are secrets which, ultimately, see the daylight and this turns the protagonists' worlds upside down. There are sad moments, happy moments and everything in between. I think, it has everything. Obviously, it's not for everyone. Some might find it cheesy, others might find it overly dramatic...while others will find it's awfully hard to stop reading.

PS. Currently reading Confess by the same author. I low-key love Colleen's work.

Hi all, I don't know how I didn't see this club earlier. It's a great idea.

The last book I read was "The Catcher in the Rye". Although it's quite an old book, I've never read it before. It is a 16-year-old asocial boy's story. I'm just angry myself that I did not read it before. It is so fun and really easy to read. At some points, I thought that I'm actually parallel universe reflection of Holden Caulfield. Other than that, I don't know if any of you think the same but I thought that it belongs to Chuck Palahniuk. The writing methods resemble each other a lot.
Right now, I'm reading "Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy". So far it's a suspenseful book. I think I'm gonna like it when finished.

By the way, can I join the club?

Not looking to join, but I just wanted to recommend Magic for Liars: A Novel by Sarah Gailey. Book was excellent. I just started The Iron Dragons Mother by Michael Swanwick. A continuation to his 2003 book The Iron Dragons Daughter, which I HIGHLY recommend.

It's like the TV series, but even better.

Well, this will be kind hard to me because im from brazil and i dont speak english very well but lets try.

The last book i read was a brazillian classic named "A escrava Isaura". Escrava is slave in portuguese...this woman was a very popular slave in her time and one of the reasons that Brazil banned slavery almost 150 years ago

Red rising by Peirce brown. It was recommended to me by a co-worker and really disappointed me. The premise is that Mars has been stratified into a caste system with their names based on colors. The protagonist is a miner who's wife is fridged in the first couple chapters and he vows revenge by infiltrating the higher colored castes. It's full of cliches and bad writing and I wouldn't recommend it.

The last book that I read that I actually enjoyed was Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell. There's a theme of a lot of interactions where people think they understand each other but since we are all human it can result in some bad stuff happening. He nails his thesis pretty well and tells a lot of interesting stories.

The last book I read was "The Witcher: Sword of Destiny", the second one in the series. I really liked it. It has some great moments and dialogue, but I think the first book was more interesting overall.

I have started "Blood of Elves" and also a collection from HP Lovecraft a while ago, but haven't finished either of those yet.

HEYO well the last book was probably Martin Eden by Jack London. This story about young man who has grown up in a working-class family without receiving any education. He falls in love with young Ruth and educates himself to become a writer, aiming to win her hand in marriage. Well I don't wanna spoil so.. but this is really great book. also recommend some stuff from Theodore Dreiser AAALSO very good writer.

The last book i read was The Hobit, because i really like all the Tolkien lore, now has become one of my farorite book along Arthur Conan Doyle A Study in Scarlet, one of the aspects of the book that i love is the relationship between Bilbo and Gandalf, truly a great frienship between the two.

Just finished "Notorious RBG; The Life And Times Of Ruth Bader Ginsburg". I don't often read biographies, but this was on my wife's book club, so I gave it a try. I enjoyed the book, but had hoped for more intimate insights into her life. This had mostly publicly available knowledge.

I can recommend Netocracy by Alexander Bard.
It paints an interesting future with new power dynamics in a global world.
I listened to the audiobook in swedish. It was one of the few audiobooks I actually managed to listen all the way to the end.
