Emma

Emma by Jane Austen

This is a classic novel that follows the always-meddling Emma and her tendency to play matchmaker for the people in her village – even if its exactly what gets her into trouble.

While I like this book more than Pride and Prejudice so far, I’m only on chapter 6 and I started this two weeks ago. I’d like to finish this this month if I can, but there are so many other books I also want to read at the moment.

Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison

Invisible Man is a modern classic first published in 1952. It follows the narrator’s journey through the racial divide as he ventures from pursuing an education in the Deep South to pursuing a living in the heart of New York City.

I’m more than halfway through this book so far, and the only reason I haven’t read more at this point is because I read this one before bed and am too tired to read further! Despite it being written from the fifties, so many of the discussions surrounding racism are still so prevalent today.

Tin Man

Tin Man by Sarah Winman

Tin Man follows Ellis and Michael, who befriend each other at twelve years old. The two grow to become close friends, but one day, their friendship becomes something more. But ten years later, a very different outcome occurs – Ellis is married, and Michael is missing. This story covers what happens in those ten years.

I was recommended this book by @whisperedletters on Instagram – it’s one of his favorite books, and I’ve heard so many good things about it as well. I’m not too far into this book, but I have a feeling I’ll be finishing it over the next day or so.

Star Trek: A Choice of Catastrophes by Michael Schuster 

A Choice of Catastrophes is a Star Trek Original Series novel. It primarily follows Dr. McCoy on the return from a supply delivery when things on The Enterprise go awry. Between power failures and medical emergencies, the crew must get to the bottom of it for the life of the Enterprise and everyone on it.

Overall, I wasn’t super impressed with this story. It very much has a plot that centers around character development, and yet I didn’t feel like the characters drove the story overall. Despite this, I’m very much still looking forward to reading more of the Star Trek books currently on my shelves.

A Song Below Water

A Song Below Water by Bethany C. Morrow

A Song Below Water follows a Tavia, a siren who has to keep her identity under wraps as she lives in Portland, Oregon. With her best friend Effie, they navigate high school life together. That is, until the tensions escalate for Tavia, Effie, and many around the country with the aftermath of a siren murder trial.

I’ve seen this book a lot around book blogs in the last couple months, and this past week on Instagram as well. I’ve had this on hold at my library and I just happened to get my hold as I’m writing this post, so the decision on what to read next was made easy!
