My (late) April 2015 reading round-up & May reading

I'm here with a very late April wrap-up, oops!
As well as struggling to post this month, I haven't been getting around the blogs I love to read much yet this month either, so apologies for that and I am looking forward to catching up on reading lots of reviews and other posts asap.  

I read these books in April:

The Silkworm - Robert Galbraith

The Worrier's Guide to Life - Gemma Correll

Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe - Fanny Flagg

Hausfrau - Jill Alexander Essbaum

A History of Loneliness - John Boyne

Books reviewed in April on the blog: 

My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga

Book(s) of the month for April...

Hausfrau, just brilliant!

Amazing book, I was addicted to it, the location, the language, Anna's life, so desperate and painful, but superbly and poetically written. Definite shades of Emma Bovary.

 

(and a mention for A History of Loneliness, a very good read.)

May reading

In May so far I've read Crooked Heart by Lissa Evans, The Humans by Matt Haig, Amulet Volume 1: The Storekeeper by Kazu Kibuishi, Paris for One by Jojo Moyes, and I'm currently reading Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides, and City of Thieves by David Benioff. 

I've almost finished listening to the audio book of Moab is my Washpot by Stephen Fry. 

And I've been dipping into an interesting non-fiction book, All Day Long - A Portrait of Britain at Work, by Joanna Biggs.
