Current Reads
This week I’ve started reading Season of the Witch: The Book of Goth by Cathi Unsworth – this is a non-fiction book looking at music in the goth scene from 1979 onwards. I’m three chapters in and it’s so good, I’m very much enjoying this one. I’m also reading The Last Party by Clare Macintosh from my NetGalley shelf and am engrossed in it. I think this is the start of a series and I’m intrigued by the main detective so it’s good to know there’ll be more of her.
Recent Reads
I’ve had another good week of reading and have finished four books. The first was Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld, which I completely and utterly adored – I think it may well be my favourite book of the year so far! Then I read Mrs S by K Patrick, which was an okay read but it wasn’t as good as I hoped it would be. My next read was Leaving Orbit: Notes from the Last Days of American Spaceflight by Margaret Lazarus Dean and I very much enjoyed this one. I’ve been fascinated by the space shuttles from being a very young girl and was so sad when they retired them. This book is such a good look at the end of that space program by someone who had also loved the shuttles from childhood. Finally this week I read Becky by Sarah May and I loved this one too. It was such a good read and I recommend it! Leaving Orbit and Becky were on my 20 Books of Summer reads so I’ve now read three books from that list. My plan was always to read 20 physical books by the end of the summer so whilst it wasn’t on my original list Romantic Comedy also counts which takes me to four.
What I Might Read Next
I’m still mood reading but the books that are catching my eye at the moment are The Playground by Michelle Frances from my NetGalley shelf, The Invisible life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab from my 20 Books of Summer list, and The Villa by Ruth Kelly.
What are you reading at the moment? I’d love to know 🙂

You have some great titles. Enjoy, and here’s MY WWW POST
Thank you 🙂
Love the look of The Season of the Witch, is that Siouxsie Sioux on the cover? xx
It is, and it was such a good read. If you like her kind of music then this book is just brilliant, I loved it. 🙂 x
Great titles and I like the look of the goth music one! I am currently reading Queen by Alex Haley, another behemoth after his Roots, but very absorbing. It’s not one of my 20Books but I have done all seven I had earmarked for June so decided to take one off the old end of the TBR. Also reading Homebodies by Tembe Denton-Hurst (chaotic millennial who doesn’t seem to be learning but is Black and queer so continuing with it) and All About Romance by Daniel Tawse (too Y a YA but about a non-binary kid negotiating school and love so also giving it a chance). I’ll be getting back onto the 20Books next with Kit de Waal and Lenny Henry.
Season of the Witch was so good, I really enjoyed it. I hope you’re enjoying the Kit de Waal and Lenny Henry books – both of those sound great.
My Name is Leon is amazing but heartbreaking but my good friend Ali has read it and says there is hope in it!
I’m glad Romantic Comedy was so good! I was hoping it would be. Happy reading!
It really was, I loved it. x
I love the cover of The Villa. I want to read it for that alone. Hope you continue to enjoy your reads!
I’ve just started reading The Villa and I’m really intrigued so far. I hope to read more tonight. 🙂
That’s great news about The Last Party! I hope you will enjoy Addie LaRue; it’s one of my favorite Schwab books. Happy reading!
I finished The Last Party yesterday and I really enjoyed it. I had to suspend disbelief a little but I didn’t mind as the two main characters were so good.
That’s good to know I have to suspend disbelief!
I’ve not read any Curtis Sittenfeld – keep muddling her up with Diane Setterfield!
I’m reading book 4 in my 20booksofsummer list – My Turn to Make the Tea by Monica Dickens. Quite amusing portrayal of life as a junior female reporter on a small provincial newspaper in the 1950s..
The Monica Dickens book sounds really interesting, I hope you continue to enjoy it.
