Current Reads
This week I’m reading Too Much by Tom Allen, which is his memoir about the loss of his father. It’s so moving but also funny and touching. I’m also reading These Streets by Luan Goldie, which I’m really enjoying.
Recent Reads
I’ve had another good week of reading in terms of how much I’ve read. I finished reading Still Born by Guadalupe Nettel and I loved it, it was such a beautifully written novel and one that will stay with me. After that I devoured The Last Passenger by Will Dean in one sitting, this was a wild ride of a novel that kept me hooked all the way through. I then listened to some audiobooks – the first was Foster by Claire Keegan, which was stunning – so moving. Then I listened to Peach by Emma Glass, which I found absorbing and gripping although not an easy subject matter to read about. Finally I read The Playground by Michelle Frances, which is one of those novels filled with unlikeable and self-obsessed characters and I really enjoyed it!
What I Might Read Next
I spotted Drowning by TJ Newman for 99p on Kindle yesterday so I’m tempted to pick that up next as it sounds like just the kind of gripping thriller I’m craving at the moment. I also recently bought Kala by Colin Smith and I’m keen to pick it up. The next book on my backlog of NetGalley reads is In Case of Emergency by Poorna Bell so I’m going to try and get to that one too.
What are you reading at the moment? I’d love to know 🙂

Looks like a fab bookish week Hayley, hope you enjoy whatever you read next . xx
Drowning is a fast paced read, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
Wishing you a great reading week
I saw Drowning as well and bought it, I loved the previous book. Also, Last Passenger was a cracking read!
Great looking titles! Enjoy!
I hope you enjoy all of your reads. It looks like a good mix of books.
I’ve heard Drowning is very good! Hope you enjoy it!
I can’t wait to get a copy of The Last Passenger; I love his books! Drowning is fantastic by the way; a little over the top, but extremely engaging.
I’m glad the Tom Allen book is good, I keep meaning to get it. This week I’ve finished Deborah Francis-White’s “The Guilty Feminist” which is the book of the podcast and was my readalong book with my best friend (we both enjoyed it but were left feeling a bit inadequate, her as a feminist and a woman, me as a woman!); and Angela Milne’s “One Year’s Time” which was a very interesting British Library Women Writers reprint of a 1942 novel which is very frank and open about pre-marital sex in the 1930s. Currently reading “Family Lore” by Elizabeth Acevedo which is my current NetGalley read, an intergenerational tale of women from the Dominican Republic living in New York which you will like if you’ve not read it already, and Stella Benson’s “Pipers and a Dancer” which is an odd 1920s satirical novel set in China. After that it will be a Dean Karnazes running book for my 20 Books of Summer and another August NetGalley or a quick novel for Women in Translation month.
