Current Reads
I’m trying out reading one book at a time at the moment. I like being in the middle of lots of books but my brain just isn’t up for that right now so I’m hoping reading one at once will help. It feels very strange!
Dead To Her by Sarah Pinborough
Recent Reads
I really focused my mind on finishing off the numerous books that I’ve had part-read for a while now so I managed to do that. My husband is now no longer on furlough and is working from home so I’m listening to more audiobooks during the day, which is helping me read more. I’m still struggling to read ebooks but am enjoying listening to books.
Dear Reader by Cathy Rentzenbrink
Watch Over You by M. J. Ford
Precious You by Helen Monks Takhar
The Storm by Amanda Jennings
Here is the Beehive by Sarah Crossan
Spring by Ali Smith
The Upstairs Room by Kate Murray-Browne
What I Might Read Next
I don’t know what I’ll read next as I’m still reading by whim but I know that audiobooks are better for me at the moment so I’ve picked three audiobooks this week that are catching my eye the most, and then one ebook (The Turn of the Key) that I can read at night.
The Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware
I Thought I Knew You by Penny Hancock
Lethal White by Robert Galbraith
Writers and Lovers by Lily King

So many lovely books! I want to read the new Sarah Pinborough and the two newest Ruth Ware books. Enjoy! Thanks for sharing, and here’s MY WWW POST
Thank you 🙂 The Sarah Pinborough was quite good, it kept me turning the pages. I can’t wait to read the Ruth Ware.
That is a lot of books finished off! It must feel good, even if it does mean lots of reviews to write… Here’s my WWW https://whatcathyreadnext.wordpress.com/2020/09/09/wwwwednesday-9th-september-2020/
I do feel pleased to have finished reading all the books I’d been in the middle of for a while. I need to be better at not starting quite so many books at once in future. 🙂
Yet to read any books by Pinborough, I need to rectify that soon. I hope you enjoy all your books, Hayley. Happy reading.
Thank you 🙂 I love Sarah Pinborough’s writing. Dead to Her wasn’t my favourite but it was a book that kept me turning the pages. x
You have some great reads there, Hayley! I want to read the Ware, myself. It’s interesting, isn’t it, how format can change how we feel about a book. I’m glad you have plenty of books on audio, so you can experience them even when the physical reading isn’t happening for you.
Thank you! I love audiobooks, they help me keep reading when my hands aren’t able to hold a book or my kindle. I’m finding they’re still enjoyable to me when I’m in a reading slump too, which is good. I haven’t managed to start Ruth Ware yet but I’m still looking forward to it.
Glad audiobooks are helping you at this time xx
Thank you 🙂 xx
I recently finished reading Dead To Her which I really enjoyed. Hope you’re enjoying it as well!
Thank you. I did enjoy it – it wasn’t my favourite by her but I think it was my mood rather than the book. I’m glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Hope the one-book strategy is going well for you! I just finished Elizabeth von Arnim’s “Father” which I think reviews tomorrow (I did some scheduling then moved things around). I am currently reading Angela Thirkell’s “Marling Hall” as I work through the Second World War with her, and then Gareth Rees’ “Unofficial Britain” which is psychogeography and pretty dark and so not for reading in bed at night or at mealtimes! Next I need to take something off the physical TBR, esp as I will have some Confessions soon …
Thank you! The one book at a time plan is going okay but my reading is so much slower than normal that I feel a bit disheartened at the moment. It’s that feeling where I want to read but just can’t seem to a lot of the time. Unofficial Britain sounds really interesting, I’ll look out for your review of that one once you’ve read it.
I’ve sent my review in to Shiny so should be posting about it soon! I hope you can get your reading mojo back a little more each day. Take care of yourself!
The Turn of the Key sounds so interesting to me. I’m a one book at a time person. It helps me focus better for reviewing. Happy reading!
I’ve always read multiple books at once but it’s interesting to try reading one at a time. I haven’t managed to read The Turn of the Key yet but I hope to get to it soon. Thank you 🙂 x
Gosh you’ve done well! Loads of books! I really struggle with audiobooks, I find I drift off too much. It’s great that you can concentrate on them so well, super post! 😊👍🏻
Thank you 🙂 It was lots of finishing off books so felt satisfying to get them off my currently reading shelf on GoodReads. I love audiobooks, I find them so engrossing and usually don’t drift off when listening. I did have to learn to like them originally though but it got easier with time. x
Wow! That is a lot of reading this week! Awesome books too! x
Thank you 🙂 It was lots of finishing books off so it seems like I read more than I did last week. There were lots of good books though 🙂 xx
I was just able to pick up a copy of The Turn of the Key for fairly cheap recently. It’s in my spooky tbr jar right now!
https://dearbookshelves.wordpress.com/2020/09/09/www-wednesday-september-9-2020/
I hope you enjoy The Turn of the Key when you get to it. I didn’t manage to read it this week but hope to soon, I might keep it for an October read now. I love the idea of a spooky TBR jar 🙂
Look at how many books you have recently read 😮 amazing!! I can only read one book at a time I don’t know how to add more when already reading one. Your next reads look so good am going to have to check them out. Are you enjoying your current read?
It looks like a lot but it was mainly finishing books off. I like to have lots of different genres on the go so I’m always in the mood to read one of them. So when I finish my non-fiction book I add another one in etc. It’s how I’ve always read ever since I was little. I think I just can’t resist starting new books. I’m now reading Writers and Lovers and am really enjoying it. The book I was reading last week (Dead to Her) was an okay read, I enjoyed it but it wasn’t as good as the author’s previous books.
I’m going to have to try this, wow
That Writes & Love cover has to be one of the coolest I’ve seen!
It’s a gorgeous cover, isn’t it? I really like it too.
I love the cover for The Storm. I’m going to check that one out!
It’s a stunning cover, isn’t it? The book really lives up to it too. 🙂
What a brilliant selection of books! I hope you will enjoy The Turn Of The Key as well as the others. Happy reading! xx
Thank you. I didn’t manage to get to The Turn of the Key but I want to read it very soon. xx
