It’s been another busy week and, as usual, I’ve not had much time for reading. But my mum was here to visit, and we went to the library with my kid and they each found something to read, came home, and instantly curled up on the sofa to start reading. They’ve pretty much kept going ever since! I found a few minutes to curl up in a chair nearby and read with my kid as well, so while I didn’t read as much this week, it was quality when I did! Here’s hoping I’ll find a few minutes next week as well!

The Fire Next Time etc. by James Baldwin
Three Things About Elsie by Joanna Cannon
Technically I’m still reading all of these, though the only reading I’ve done over the past week is a few pages of Three Things About Elsie. I’m still on the fence about it – I kind of want to keep reading, but I also am not feeling that invested yet. The narrator isn’t immediately a likeable character, and I don’t know if I’ll want to spend this much time with her. But I’ll give it a bit more time and see how it progresses!

I don’t have the time or energy today to figure out what to update this section with, and as I haven’t been reading much this week I also haven’t really spend any time adding to my TBR or rearranging what I want to read next. So for now, let’s just keep these four as I’m still interested in all of them and they’re as good a guess as any!
That’s me! Another busy week is over, and I’ve only just realized we’re in December and it’s only a couple of weeks until winter break from school. How on earth did that happen? In my mind it’s still September! Anyway, I’d love to hear if any of you read any great books this week, or if you have any you think I’d enjoy that might get me back on track reading-wise!
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).
I didn’t get much reading done until the day after our Thanksgiving here. I read very little when my kids were young. I wonder if I will get time to really enjoy a book from now until the new year!
I hope you find a good book. I’m working on a stack of picture books, one a day—that’s doable, I think.
That’s fair! Yeah, it’s harder with a kid, more the time these days than the energy, but both were impossible when I had a baby and toddler! I hope you do get time to enjoy a book, maybe between Christmas and New Year? I love your picture books idea, that’s a fantastic and achievable goal!
