Current Reads
I’m currently reading Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld and I’m loving it – so far it feels like it’s going to be one of my favourite reads of the year! I’ve also just started Mrs S. by K Patrick – I’m only a short way into this but I’m intrigued to read more and am looking forward to getting back to it.
Recent Reads
I’ve had a really good week of reading this week. First I finished reading The Only Survivors by Megan Miranda, which I enjoyed. All the characters are hard to like but there was something compelling about the story so it was a decent read. I also finished reading Quilt on Fire by Christie Watson, which was an excellent read. I could relate to quite a lot that the author was writing about so felt a real connection to her story. I then listened to two audiobooks from the library: Magma by Thora Hjorleifsdottir, which was a really difficult book due to the themes but it hit home for me and I just couldn’t stop listening. It’s shocking when a novel opens your eyes to past mistreatment by a former partner but also it’s affirming to know that it was what you suspected it might be. I also listened to Notes on Grief by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, which is a short book exploring her grief at the sudden death of her father during the pandemic when she couldn’t easily get home. It’s incredibly moving, and for anyone who has experienced the death of a parent it’s particularly emotional to read. I definitely need to buy a hard copy of this book to keep in my collection as there are so many parts of this book that I want to mark and be able to re-read. I finished my week by starting and finishing Unsolved by Heather Critchlow. I found this crime novel a little hard to get in to but once I was invested I just couldn’t put it down! I now can’t wait for the second book in the series to be published!
What I Might Read Next
I’m still mood reading and it’s working for me so I’m not sure what I’ll read next but the books on my shelves and my Kindle that are catching my eye just now are: A House for Alice by Diane Evans, The Last Party by Clare Mackintosh and Becky by Sarah May.
What are you reading at the moment? I’d love to know 🙂

You have some great titles! Enjoy!!
Thank you 🙂
I’m glad you’re loving Romantic Comedies. I have my eye on that one.
Romantic Comedy was so good, I think it might be my favourite read of this year so far. I hope you enjoy it as much if you decide to read it 🙂
That’s a good week of reading. I really want to explore Diana Evans’ books. I have just finished Lark and Kasim Start a Revolutoin by Kacen Callender which wasn’t really for me but I can see teens loving all the representation, and the amazing Nevada by Imogen Binnie, which I just loved. Next up will be … I don’t know actually! Do I continue my 20 Books of Summer list even though I’ve completed the seven I set myself to read this month, or read something else off the TBR?
I really enjoyed Ordinary People by Diana Evans and I think this new one might be a sequel or companion novel so I’m keen to read it. You’re doing well with your 20 Books of Summer list – I think I’ve read 3 from mine and 4 if I count a hardback I read this week that I got after I made my list. I hope you enjoy whatever you pick up next.
I agree about The Only Survivors. It is very compelling but yet I couldn’t put my finger on why other than wondering what the heck happened in the past timeline that’s still impacting them today.
It was a strange reading experience in that I wanted to keep reading but I don’t know how much I was enjoying it. It was certainly a compelling read.
Such a great selection! I hope to read The Last Party some time soon as well…
Thank you 🙂 I started The Last Party this week and it’s really good so far.
That’s great to hear! I hope to read it in July.
