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

It’s been a busy week, but mostly a good one! We’ve gotten out into the garden a bit and it’s looking slightly more tidy. We had a new tenant move into our downstairs suite, and met the two dogs who will be living there, which was lovely. I finished a few books. I got a COVID vaccine which has hit me hard and I’ve spent the last 24 hours feeling sore, achy, tired and nauseous. But I also put together the yearly Easter scavenger hunt for my kiddo, complete with challenges and riddles, which was a lot of fun and then had Easter dinner with the in-laws which was also nice. So it’s been mostly a really good week! Happy (or hoppy) Easter to those who celebrate it!

        I’ll Just Be Five More Minutes by Emily Farris
Behind You Is the Sea by Susan Muaddi Darraj
Gabriel’s Moon by William Boyd 

I finished two books this week for the BookTube Prize that I can’t say anything about, but I also finished listening to I’ll Just Be Five More Minutes as well. I enjoyed it, and related to some of her experiences. Mostly the way first time motherhood impacted her. It wasn’t the best ADHD memoir I’ve read, but it was good and I enjoyed listening to it!

     Raising Hare by Chloe DaltonShy Creatures by Clare Chambers 

Still have all of these on the go, but didn’t make much progress with most of them this week. I did just start Shy Creatures as my next BookTube Prize book! Not very far into it yet so have no opinions, and couldn’t tell you even if I did!

 

Up Next

 

     Long Island by Colm Tóibín
Sipsworth by Simon van Booy 

I’m halfway through my BookTube Prize reading, so it’s just these two left that I haven’t started yet! I still have a couple of weeks to wait for Long Island from my library, so while I was planning to read it first and save Sipsworth for last, I might have to swap the two if it doesn’t come in soon!

 

That was my week! What did you guys read this week? Have you read any of these books, and if so what did you think?
