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

Another busy week during which reading wasn’t at the top of my list! I did a little bit, but mostly I’ve been trying to get on top of things around the house, keep up with homeschool and crocheting bookmarks for my kid who has become a constant and voracious reader! (I might share some photos next week if you guys want to see them!) This week is going to be equally busy – it’s busy on the home front but also the last week of school before spring break, so lots going on! Hopefully I’ll manage to grab a little reading time here and there, though!

I Found You by Lisa Jewell
 

I enjoyed this one – nothing amazing or spectacular, but well paced, interesting characters, I wanted to know what was going to happen and it came together well enough at the end (though I won’t say how!) I don’t think it’ll stick with me vividly or in detail, but entertaining while I was in it!

Brit(ish) by Afua Hirsch
Good Night, Irene by Luis Alberto Urrea
Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson
Wildful by Kengo Kurimoto
 

I’m still reading Brit(ish), which is still very good. I started Good Night, Irene as it’s another WWII book, but honestly it’s not really grabbing me. It’s about the women who worked for the Salvation Army on the front lines driving concession vans to provide tea, coffee and doughnuts and generally keep up morale. There’s a fair amount about how they’re expected to behave before and during their time with the Salvation Army, and more than I’m interested in about their outfits and flirting with various men around them. I’m not saying it’s not a good book – it is – just that I don’t think this is the perspective for me. We’ll see though, because the part I just got to is one where they’re thrown into some action and have to learn how to protect themselves, so maybe it’ll get a little more hands-on and less making tea? We shall see. Just started Eight Perfect Murders today, so only a few chapters into it so far. I’m interested, but withholding judgment for now! Wildful is a sweet graphic novel that I’ve only just started, but seems to be about a city kid who follows her dog through a broken fence into a forest and begins to discover the wonders of nature.

Same books, mostly, as last week that I still have out of the library, and a few more I borrowed since. As usual, no idea when (or if) I’ll get to these, or if I’ll end up finding something else to read entirely! Let me know if you’ve read any of these and would (or wouldn’t) recommend it!

 

So that’s my week. What about you guys? Did you have a good reading week?


A weekly post that encourages bloggers to share what they have read in the past week, what they’re currently reading and books they’ve recently added to their TBRs. Originally started by Sheila at Book Journey, it is now hosted by Kathryn at The Book Date. I also link up with The Sunday Salon post each week hosted by Deb at Readerbuzz (and sometimes include some of her content prompts).
