Today I’m taking in part in This Week in Books, which was started by Lipsyy Lost and Found! If you want to join in you just need to share what you’re reading now, what you’ve read over the last week, and what you hope to read next.

 

Now

Between the Regions of Kindness by Alice Jolly

I just started reading this last night so am only a few chapters in but it’s grabbed me already and I can’t wait to read more. It’s a long book so I’m hoping to get an afternoon where I can just get completely lost in this story!

Amazing Grace by Kim Nash

This is a wonderful book – it’s a gorgeous novel but it’s ended up being a more cathartic read for me than I was expecting. I think this is going to become a firm favourite of mine!

TWA 800: The Crash, The Cover-Up and The Conspiracy by Jack Cashill

I’ve not read much more of this over the last week or two as I had some books I needed to read first for blog tours. I’m planning to get back to this in the coming days though as I was finding it really interesting.

 

Then

The Ringmaster by Vanda Symon

This book was so good! I loved Vanda Symon’s previous novel and this one is every bit as good! I’ll be reviewing this soon for the blog tour but in the meantime I definitely recommend it.

Adnan’s Story by Rabia Chaudry

I’ve had this on audio for a while and seeing the adverts for the new documentary on Sky I decided to listen to it. I found it an interesting book and it definitely gave more insight than I got from listening to Serial. I now need to watch the new documentary asap!

Baxter’s Requiem by Matthew Crow

This book is incredible! I read the whole book in one afternoon as it just pulled me into the story right away and I couldn’t put it down. It’s a beautiful book and I know it’s going to be going onto my favourites shelf! I’m on the blog tour for this so will be reviewing soon for that.

Sleep by C. L. Taylor

I loved this book, it’s my new favourite by Cally Taylor! It’s so gripping and tense and I couldn’t put it down! I reviewed this one yesterday so you can find my review here if you’d like to know more.

The Innocent Man by John Grisham

I finally made time to finish this book this week and I’m so glad that I went back to it.

 

Next

Breakers by Doug Johnstone

I was sent an ARC of this and it’s calling to me from my TBR so I think I may well pick it up this week, I’m really looking forward to it. Orenda Books can do no wrong in my eyes so I’m sure this will be a great read!

Mindhunter by John Douglas

I’ve had this on my TBR for a few months now and as I’ve finished The Innocent Man I think this might well be my next non-fiction read.

The Neighbour by Fiona Cummins

I’ve been wanting to read this one for a while so I might make this the week I get to it!

The Murder of Harriet Monkton by Elizabeth Haynes

I bought this when it was published last year and have been so keen to read it. Elizabeth Haynes is an auto-buy author for me as I’ve loved all of her books so I’m really keen to read this one soon.

  1. So many books!! I finished “Holding up the Universe” by Jennifer Niven this week which I rated very highly, and now I’m trying to find time to fit in more time with Iris Murdoch’s “Henry and Cato”, one of hers I don’t remember well. Next up will be Caroline Criado Perez’ “Invisible Women” which I’m reviewing for Shiny New Books. Happy reading!

  2. You’ve got some great books, Hayley! I’m especially glad you’re enjoying Vanda Symon’s work. She’s a very talented writer, in my opinion, and I’m pleased to see that you like her books so well.

  3. I also found Amazing Grace to be cathartic! It’s so brilliant! I’ll be reading Sleep closer to my day on the blog tour, and I am dying to read The Neighbour!
    The Ringmaster by Vanda Symon is on my TBR but I haven’t gotten around to reading it yet!
    Happy reading 🙂 xx

  4. The Ringmaster sounds fantastic! And I can’t wait for my copy of Sleep to arrive… I had it on preorder, but it still hasn’t shipped yet. I’m hoping to read Breakers soon as well! Have a wonderful week.

  5. I’m so behind but did you end up reading Mindhunter? I watched the Netflix show and really enjoyed it. I seriously can’t wait for season 2. I am interested in checking out the book. Maybe at some point soon.
