What have you recently finished reading?
This week, I read ‘Bad Habits’ by Flynn Meaney, a YA comedy about a rebellious girl stuck in a Catholic boarding school. In an attempt to get kicked out, she plans a production of ‘The Vagina Monologues’, much to the consternation of pretty much everyone! This is funny, feminist and was a very welcome light read on these dark January days.
The book is published in February 2021 and my review will appear on the blog as part of The Write Reads blog tour soon.
I also read ‘An Eye for an Eye’ by Carol Wyer for a blog tour in February. This is an excellent police procedural set just down the road from me in Staffordshire. The lead detective, DI Kate Young, is reeling from a horrendous incident where she was a first responder when she is called in to investigate the gruesome killing of a wealthy businessman. Highly recommended!
What are you reading now?
I’m embarrassed to still be reading ‘Maiden Voyages: Women and the Golden Age of Transatlantic Travel’ by Sian Evans but it is genuinely one to savour. I love the portrayal of women’s lives between the wars and (as a huge fan of cruises) am enjoying the descriptions of the impressive and opulent cruise liners. A glorious book!
I’m also reading ‘Perimenopause Power’ by Maisie Hill (from NetGalley). I liked her previous book, ‘Period Power’, and thought this might be a good one for my ageing self! It is interesting, but not a page-turner so I’m making slow progress – I am learning a lot though!
What do you think you will read next?
When I’m really tired (as I am now), it seems I need fast-paced fiction to keep me reading. With this in mind, I’m going to keep going with the crime novels – ‘Dark Truths’ by A J Cross is my starting point (from NetGalley).
I’ve also got to catch up Agatha Christie’s ‘The Mysterious Affair at Styles’ so I can join in a Poirot readalong next month. I got my Kindle copy of this free from Project Gutenberg.
