Welcome to my reading update! I'm going to post this on a few blog hops such as Stacking The Shelves run by Team Tynga's Reviews, and Sunday Post, run by Kimberly at Caffeinated Book Reviewer and a new Facebook group I've joined called The Sunday Salon
Seeing what other are reading (and finding a novel that everyone's talking about) is the reason I love looking at blog hop posts. Please feel free to drop me a line and tell me what you're reading.
I've been trying to do more posts on my blog, so I'm posting a quick reading update for this week, Books have been such a comfort these past few months. Television is too filled up with political ads (the same three commercials for propositions in California are on repeat every few minutes), and most social media has been quite toxic. So books are my happy place. But aren't they always?
What I'm Reading Now:
I hope to be finished with Love Your Life by Sunday so I can write the darn review before its release on Tuesday! So far, it's pretty light and fun. I'm listening to The Vanishing Half, so I may finish it this weekend as well.
What I Finished This Week:
A Witch In Time was our book club selection and it was wonderful. We had a lively discussion about it on Tuesday.
New Books On My Shelves:
There are a lot of wonderful books here. But I am most excited about Over The Woodward Wall by A. Deborah Baker (a.k.a Seanan McGuire). I absolutely love her writing. It is so full of contrasts, usually with hopeful young people facing a dark world. I am thrilled to buy this book and support this author.
That's it for this week. Have a fun, pumpkin-filled run up to Halloween!
The Vanishing Half was a great read, I thought. And I agree with your belief that reading has been a comfort during this time.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Sunday Salon. Feel free to link up each weekend at my blog too. It's always wonderful to meet a new reader.
Thanks for the welcome Deb. The Vanishing Half is just so sprawling, following different generations. I love that.
DeleteI'm trying to talk my book club into reading it. I think it would be a great discussion book.
DeleteThe Vanishing half is on my TBR and doesn't The Fourth Island have the most amazing cover! I love books with pretty covers.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful reading week and here's my The Sunday Post #16
There's some aspects of The Vanishing Half that I am not liking, but overall, it's a sprawling saga of a family. I visited one of the Aran Islands and it was so magical. I will be reading this book soon.
DeleteI have THE VANISHING HALF on my Audible account and will get to it after I finish my current audiobook. I am looking forward to it. My Sunday Salon post
ReplyDeleteI am also reading The Vanishing Half as an audiobook. The narrator is doing an amazing job. I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI just finished up the Vanishing Half last week. I really liked it. I hope you are enjoying it too. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThe vanishing half is really tempting me, I've heard such praise about it ! I started reading Philip Pullman's Dark materials but as much as I adored book #1, book #2 was a huge disappointment. I'll pick up book #3 later...
