Reading is slow.
Finished The Fury of the Gods and The Dying Season.

Considering I‘ve had 2 long haul flights - not much reading has happened. Brain has been too tired.
Finished Silent Victim 👍🏻
Reading The Proof of My Innocence currently.

Finished the re-read of The Mime Order, still love this series.
Read Sea State - it was in my kindle and it just got lucky- enjoyed. But of a cosy vibe but has a DV theme so not all cosy.
Fire- dark, sometimes very uncomfortable, next novella in this series.
Currently reading Wheel of Fortune as wanted a bit of Wars of the Roses.

LeahBergen Wheel of Fortune sounds good! I‘m off to investigate more about it. 😆 1mo

Another good series addition from Rose.
Redemption was an exciting thriller/moral story.
Currently reading the new Jackson Brodie ♥️

squirrelbrain I‘m thinking I might read Redemption this weekend…. 🤔 4mo
TrishB @squirrelbrain if you want something that doesn‘t take a lot of thinking, is constant action and entertaining- then go for it! 4mo
Aims42 Kate Atkinson‘s newest sounds really good! I love her non-Brodie books, could I read this one without having read the previous books in the series? 4mo
See All 6 Comments
TrishB @Aims42 you probably could- but Jackson is a fabulous character and has a full back story that you would miss out on. If you like Atkinson‘s writing I think you would love these, from the beginning 😁 4mo
Ruthiella @Aim42 I would also encourage you to start the Brodie books from the start for the development of Brodie‘s backstory. If you like Atkinson‘s other work, you will probably also appreciate them. 👍 4mo

Finished Bear - discussing later
Fifteen Wild Decembers- about 50% through, it was too noisy in the train to carry on. This book needs quiet time.

Not a lot of reading this week. Work 😞
Tiananmen Square was really good.

Her Side of the Story - half way through, there‘s a good story in here- but the translation is clunky and there is so much detail. The first 120 pages could have been 20. I will probably return to this.

#finished: Finished two books this week and enjoyed both of them.

#currentlyreading: Didn't finish The Maid for a book club meeting but I imagine that I will be able to do so this week. Started Enough on audio and its a little more eyeopening than I expected. Also started The Summer Book Club and I probably can get that completed this week as well. I am just at a standstill with Alice Munro's Best at the moment.

#finished: finished 2 books this week; wasn't wowed by them, but they were fairly easy to complete.

#currentlyreading: All the Light is for a book club meeting; the Alice Munro is a #slowbutsteady (didn't read from it this week); The Music of Bees is for a previous book club meeting and it shouldn't take a lot of time to complete it.

melissajayne #upcomingreads: The Maid is for another book club meeting this week, but since I own my copy and have read it before, I don't foresee it taking me too long to read. The Essex Serpent is a restart for me and I hope to get to it this week. Midnight Library is for a book club meeting later in the month and I don't think it will take me long to read it, as I have quite a bit of time to read it and this will be the fourth time I have read it. 6mo

How to say you had a couple of days off work…
King new short stories 👍🏻
Clear for #camplitsy24
Trust in Me- entertaining thriller that I‘ve mostly forgotten!
Live Wire- continuing the Myron series
Guilty Mothers- new Kim - current read.

Oryx I haven't quite finished the SK, just finished the twins one, but what stories stood out for you? 7mo
TrishB @Oryx I loved the 2 long ones (Danny Coughlin and Rattlesnakes) as I think you get the full impact of King! But saying that I also loved The Fifth Step as it gave me an evil little chuckle. I did have Taylor Swift‘s Florida in my head the whole time reading the Florida set ones. Listen to it and you will too 😁 7mo
julesG @TrishB Now I have that song stuck in my head. 7mo

A not much reading week: a work trip to Bahrain that was an adventure (or a nightmare depending on your approach to life)
The weather going out there, multiple changes of flight times/paths etc as we were supposed to fly into Dubai.
Then the worry about missiles/war etc flying back.
I read The Murder House on outgoing flight & started the Keyes coming back. Was too exhausted by then to read much. Have a great weekend ♥️

#finished: I finished A House in the Sky and really liked it (I will be posting a review in the next couple of days)

#currentlyreading: Read quite a bit this past week, as I spent the wee hours of Saturday morning finishing up A House in the Sky. I also spent quite a bit of Saturday reading The Kingdom, The Power, and The Glory and feel like this will need a reread at some point. I hope to either finish or continue

melissajayne reading the other books that I have in my currently reading pile, in addition to doing some more cleaning out of my apartment.

#upcomingreads: I have to read Fried Green Tomatoes for a book club meeting this week and judging by the chapters, I feel like it should be a fairly quick read. I do plan on working on Wolf Hall.

Happy reading 📚
(edited) 8mo
SarahBookInterrupted I have had Wolf Hall on my bookshelf for 2 years. A friend gave it to me. It‘s so big and I just haven‘t started it because I‘m trying to determine if it will be a slow or quick read. My mother came for Christmas and read it in 3 days but she is an incredibly fast reader. She liked it, but that was all the insight I got. Are you finding it a quick engaging read or is it a slow read and I‘ll need some real time to get into it? 8mo
melissajayne @SarahBookInterrupted I read it within the last ten years and I think it took me awhile to get through it, but mind you I am a slow reader. I found it to be a slower read, as there are a lot of characters that are written into the book (there is a character list that is several pages long). 8mo
SarahBookInterrupted @melissajayne Thanks, that‘s what I thought. It might have to be a summer read for me when I have more time. I appreciate it! 8mo
