Current Reads
I’m currently reading Clutter: An Untidy History by Jennifer Howard on audiobook and am finding it really interesting. I used to be something of a hoarder so books like this always appeal to me. I’m also reading Show Me the Bodies: How We Let Grenfell Happen by Peter Apps on my Kindle – this is a really in depth and interesting look at what happened at Grenfell but also what happened before and how things could, and should, have been done so differently. I’m still reading Friendaholic by Elizabeth Day, which is interesting at times but less so in other sections.
Recent Reads
I finished reading Just Another Missing Person by Gillian McAllister this week and I very much enjoyed it. I also borrowed the audiobook of Don’t Laugh, It’ll Only Encourage Her by Daisy May Cooper, which was okay but nothing particularly memorable. Then I read She Says She’s My Daughter by Lauren North, which was an easy thriller that kept me engaged all the way through. Finally I read my paperback copy of The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams and I found this a really compelling novel about women and words, I recommend it.
What I Might Read Next
I’m hoping to read The Only One Left by Riley Sager and The Trap by Catherine Ryan Howard from my NetGalley shelf, and Surrender by Bono, which is a hardback book on my 20 Books of Summer list.
What are you reading at the moment? I’d love to know 🙂 I may not be very speedy replying to comments this week as our broadband is down and apparently is likely to be for at least a couple of days. I don’t have a lot of data left to use so I’m potentially going to be internet-less for a little while.

Trying to get through my #20booksofsummer during a week when I have no visitors, so mainly reading popular fiction that people insisted I read, which isn’t my usual, like The Mais, Lessons in Chemistry, but also started a couple of women in translation reads like Elena Knows because I can only read so many of the books recomme ded by others before I need to read my own preferred kind of novel, which are usually the slower, more thought provoking kind. Happy Reading. 😊
I hope to read Lessons in Chemistry soon too, I hope you enjoy it. I’ve heard really good things about Elena Knows so am keen to read that one too. I like a mix of thrillers and slow, thought-provoking reads. I hope you enjoy whatever you’re reading at the moment. 🙂
Thank you Hayley, I did enjoy Elena Knows, it’s a thought provoking novel, I’m looking forward to her latest A Little Luck, just released in English this month. Happy Reading to you too. 😚
It looks like a good bookish week Hayley! I had a review copy of the Daisy May Cooper on audiobook when it was first published and ended up DNFing as I didn’t get it at all. So I’m glad I didn’t miss much! xx
It was a good week but Daisy May Cooper’s book was disappointing, you definitely didn’t miss much by DNFing it. xx
I’m reading Unladylike Lessons in Love and better get a move on as it’s my turn on the blog tour tomorrow! Before that, finished Hugh Bonneville’s memoir which I really enjoyed and the audiobook of Rowan Coleman’s forthcoming book From Now Until Forever which I adored!
I’m keen to read Rowan Coleman’s new book, I must remember to look out for it when I’m next book shopping. I’m glad you enjoyed it so much. x
I think it’s due out in August. I had a Netgalley audio version.
I just got the audiobook of Surrender from my library and I am looking forward to listening to it in Bono’s voice. Enjoy your upcoming reads, Hayley.
I hope you enjoy listening to Bono’s Surrender. I still haven’t started it but I’m thinking of getting the audiobook so I can listen along as I read.
I got it from the library, so I have to listen to it soon as it is due back in 10 days. 🙄
looks like you had amazing week. I loved dictionary of lost words and now I can’t wait to read author’s recent one bookbinder jeri co.
It was a good week of reading. 🙂 I didn’t know the author of The Dictionary of Lost Words had another book out so thanks for letting me know – I’m going to add it to my wish list now. x
I need to pick up The Only One Left. I hope to get to it before July ends.
I hope you enjoy The Only One Left – I found it really hard to put down but am not sure how to rate it as yet.
Oh I love when a book is hard to put down. I felt that way recently about Gone Tonight By Sarah Pekkanen. So good!
Hopefully Surrender is treating you well.
Riley Sager writes some good ones. Hope you enjoy it when you get to it!
