What are you currently reading?
I’m reading Rebecca Lipkin’s ‘Unto the Last’ for a blog tour later in the month. This is a gorgeous, sweeping historical novel about Victorian writer John Ruskin and his relationship with his student, Rose La Touche.
I’m also reading my pre-ordered books from the bumper crop on 3rd September. I’m loving Peter Ross’ ‘A Tomb With a View’ which takes the reader on a fascinating tour through graveyards and the stories they hold. I’m also enjoying Caitlin Moran’s ‘More Than a Woman’ – I love her writing for ‘The Times’ and all her previous books and this one is (brilliantly) more of the same!
What did you recently finish reading?
I just finished Sarah Pearse’s ‘The Sanatorium’, a tense and twisty mystery set in an old sanatorium that has been converted into a luxury hotel. It’s high in th Swiss Alps and – when an avalanche and bad weather cut off access – the perfect setting for a scary story! I liked this a lot, but as publication isn’t until 2021, I’ll hold the full review until nearer the time.
I also just finished Susie Donkin’s ‘Zeus is a Dick’, a very funny and very rude retelling of the Greek myths. Publication of this one is November, so watch this space for a review!
What do you think you’ll read next?
I’m about to start a buddy read with Jodie at Relish Books – we kept hearing about the Will Carver books on Twitter and so are going to give the first book – ‘Good Samaritans’ a try.
I’m also keen to read ‘Pandora’s Jar’ by Natalie Haynes ahead of its publication in October. This has been on my TBR for a while, but I’ve got more of a taste for the myths since ‘Zeus is a Dick’!
I received free copies for review of ‘Unto this Last’, ‘The Sanatorium’, ‘Zeus is a Dick’ and ‘Pandora’s Jar’ – the rest were paid for from my own pocket. Regardless of source, all opinions are entirely my own.
I really like the sound of Unto the Last. Looking forward to your review of it. 🙂
Thanks – it is beautifully written and an interesting story
I love that you read such an eclectic mix of books. A Tomb With a View sounds super intriguing.

Thank you – I think I read an odd selection of books so eclectic is a nice word!
