 A rare quiet week and weekend meant I could finally eke out some time to read while I could. Goodness knows that reading time will be at a premium for the next month.

FINISHED SINCE THE LAST UPDATE:

Catriona Ward’s debut novel is…interesting. I am going to have to think about the story as a whole before I can make a final judgment on it.

Marcus Sedgwick’s rare adult novel is eerie, contemplative, brutal, and strangely wonderful. It confirms my decision to make his novels a must-read.

Kaite Welsh’s debut novel was a fascinating glimpse into the struggles of those pioneering women in the field of medicine, but it is also a chilling reminder of just how far we have come as women and how some things have not changed at all. It has its weaknesses, but I tore through it in less than a day and loved every minute of it.

Chevy Stevens always writes incredible thrillers. Her latest is not her best but still enjoyable. I guessed only half of the ending so was able to remain pleasantly surprised at the big reveal. Fans are going to love it!

The co-author of the novels penned by Magnus Flyte? Yes, please!!

This hasn’t been a high priority lately, but I definitely want to get back to listening this week.
