What are you currently reading?
I’m finally working my way through my NetGalley shelf!
I’m reading ‘Jeeves and the Leap of Faith’ by Ben Schott – I loved the first of Schott’s new Jeeves books (supported by the Wodehouse Estate) and this is the second. It’s shaping up well so far and will be published later in October, so watch this space for my review.
I’m also finally reading ‘Pandora’s Jar’ by Natalie Haynes from my NetGalley shelf. I watched her talk about the book as part of the Women’s Prize events online and decided it was time to get reading. For fans of the Greek myths, it is a must.
Finally, I’m also reading ‘The Creak on the Stairs’ by Eva Bjorg Aegisdottir for a blog tour later in the month with Random Things Tours (who provided me with the book for review purposes. It’s a chilling and tense slice of Nordic Noir and was published in paperback on 1st October.
What have you recently finished reading?
I’ve finished my two pre-orders from 3rd September – I could not wait to read ‘A Tomb with a View’ by Peter Ross and Caitlin Moran’s ‘More than a Woman‘ but life (and blog tours) got in the way so I have only just got to them! Both are absolutely brilliant – you can read my review of ‘A Tomb With a View’ here and ‘More than a Woman’ will be on the blog tomorrow.
I also recently finished Philip Bowne’s ‘Cows Can’t Jump’ which is also fantastic! It’s hard to believe this is a debut novel as it is so assured, funny and poignant – a coming-of-age story featuring suicidal cows, a European road trip, gravedigging and a shameless attempt at rigging a horse race! My blog tour review will follow on 18th October, so watch this space!
What do you think you will read next?
I’ve been saying it for a while, but ‘The Devil and the Dark Water’ by Stuart Turton is top of my pile. I pre-ordered a gorgeous sprayed-edge copy from Forbidden Planet and cannot wait to dive in!
I was also gifted this book by Maggie Richell-Davies – ‘The Servant’. It looks perfect for me – historical fiction with a crime element!
Aside from that, I have a whole load of NetGalley books to read, plus I’ve been very lucky with book prizes on Twitter recently – I am not short of books to read!

I love the concept behind Pandora’s Jar.
Me too! I love Natalie Haynes too – she is very funny
I can’t wait to hear what you think of The Devil and the Dark Water.
It looks sooooo good. I kind of want to read it when I know I have time to read as much as I want at a time (when work doesn’t get in the way!)
Oh goodness – I really need to work on my Netgalley shelf as well! Yeesh. Good luck to you!
My NetGalley shelf is looking quite scary! I am determined to get through some of them this month
