Book Reviews

‘The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.’ Alan Bennett

“Many a book is like a key to unknown chambers within the castle of one’s own self.” ― Franz Kafka

It's Monday! What Are You Reading?


It was so very cold here over the weekend, especially on Saturday, that curling up under several blankets with a book was really the only sensible option!  


'It's Monday! What are you reading?' is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila at bookjourney.


What I read last week:


The Queen's Secret by Victoria Lamb
The Story of Beautiful Girl by Rachel Simon
Wonder by R. J. Palacio
The Midwife of Venice by Roberta Rich


What I'm currently reading:


The Holy Thief by William Ryan
Cells by Harriet Grace
The Secrets of Mary Bowser by Lois Leveen
Love Always by Harriet Evans


What I hope to read next:


Vanished by Liza Marklund
The Book of Summers by Emylia Hall
Please Don't Stop the Music by Jane Lovering

Have a wonderful reading week all.

  1. Have a good week, Lindsay!

    I was terribly cold too, now it's much better. The temperature is just around freezing and that almost feels warm!
