LINK-UP | IT’S MONDAY! WHAT ARE YOU READING?

Another up and down week, but what other kind are there? My kid is sick again, but it’s just a cold and is getting better. I had my eyes checked this week which lost me a day of reading because the dilation always gives me achy eyes and head for a full day afterwards and makes me not want to read or be anywhere with even moderate lighting either. I’ve also had a few rough times with one of my medical conditions which seems to be kicking up for no reason I can see, so that’s had me needing to go to bed and rest more than I’d like. But I still managed to finish a couple of books and start a couple more!

     We Were Never Here by Andrea Bartz
The Lost Heir (Wings of Fire Graphic Novel 2) – Tui T. Sutherland and Mike Holmes 

We Were Never Here was a random library choice, but ended up being a very entertaining read. It’s a psychological thriller – heavy on the psychological. It starts off seeming to be a story about two women who love to travel and have the best friendship you could imagine. But soon everything becomes sinister, and what seemed wholesome at the start becomes something else entirely. Worth a read. I finished the second Wings of Fire graphic novel, and though it’s still not completely immersing me, I am enjoying it enough to keep going with the third. My kid is cheering me on – apparently the sixth and seventh books are the best!

 

Currently Reading

 

               Mindful Parenting for ADHD by Mark Bertin, MDAll Fours by Mirand JulyBrit(ish) by Afua HirschThe Hidden Kingdom by Tui T. Sutherland and Mike Holmes 

I’m still plugging away at these, though the Bertin isn’t one I’ve picked up this week or last, and I tried to go back to All Fours and didn’t last long. I don’t know what it is with this book, but it feels like just when I think I can keep going, another two or three things completely turn me off. The main character’s views on life and thoughts are just not ones I want to share and definitely can’t relate to. Also, I just don’t want to. So we’ll see.

 

Up Next

 

               Friends of Dorothy by Sandi ToksvigFire Exit by Morgan TaltyMaps of Our Spectacular Bodies by Maddie MortimerMatrescence by Lucy Jones 

I suspect I’ll be moving on from the Miranda July soon, so one of these will hopefully be next… unless something else catches my attention. Which, based on my history means these same books will be here next week!

 

That’s it for my week in books! What have you guys read lately? Have you read any of these? Any great books you’ve read lately that you’d recommend?
