Unless it's a series (and I don't read a lot of those), I try to avoid reading the same author more than once a year. Spread the wealth, I guess? I'm making an exception for Stephen King, since he has two films coming out based on awesome books. I just finished The Long Walk and going straight into the audio for The Running Man, which I think I last read in high school. Earlier this year I did a re-read of Eyes of the Dragon.

None of the above. I check ebooks out of the library and read them on the CloudLibrary or Libby apps on my Android tablet.

I have high hopes for The Book of Elsewhere by Keanu Reeves ("Whoa!") and China Miéville, but for now the jury is still out. Admittedly, I'm not very far into it, but I'm not sure I like the writing style. I think - I'm hoping - it gets better soon.

My wife and I are eagerly anticipating the upcoming seasons of Shrinking and Lincoln Lawyer. Just finished S2 of The Bear.
