Started the week off with the chunkster from Joe Hill- loved it ♥️
Little departure via a murder mystery in Liverpool which I enjoyed. Set in the 1970s when you were still putting 2p‘s in public phones!
Onto the next chunkster with The Rose Field! About 100 pages in and just remembering all the characters and back story.

A really good week of reading. Got three books completed (middle row). Working on the ones on the top row (almost done My Brilliant Friend), but think I may pause on Atlas and return my library copy and work some others I could put on the top row and also start working on those on the bottom row (I have a number of books in addition 2 the 2 on the top row that I‘m currently reading). #bookreport

Chapter One- well written psychological thriller. I did guess what was going on half way through.

#BookReport #WeeklyForecast
My reading this week:
Finished Alexandria:
Finished In Bloom:
Read:
- 108 pages of Daltrey‘s autobiography;
- 138 pages of Appassionata;
- 69 pages of Mania;
- 91 pages of Our Man In Havana.

I‘m happy with that. It‘s been a busy week so midweek reading was minimal, but I managed to get some done on Good Friday and Saturday.

I think this week, I‘ll finish Daltrey and Our Man In Havana.

#bookreport
Even with Bank Holidays, busy week last week.
I enjoy the Kathy Reichs series but it might be running out of steam finally.
Loved Brotherless Night, a brilliant read.
Currently reading Other People‘s Houses.

#BookReport #WeeklyForecast

Finished Alexandria today. Expect to finish In Bloom this week, as well as read a bit each day of the other 4.

#bookreport
Good week of reading.
William Marshall‘s wife was a bit disappointing.
Thrillers were all entertaining reads.
Tidal Zone was beautifully written.

#bookreport
The Devil‘s Code was great.
Loved Stone Yard Devotional.
A Death in Cornwall was so-so. This series should be coming to an end.
Started William Marshall‘s Wife this morning.

#bookreport
Entertaining reads this week.

#bookreport #weeklyforecast

Currently Reading: Feeling like I have been spinning my wheels lately; really would just like a day when I can read for the day instead doing life stuff.

Recently Finished: only finished the one book this past week. I really liked it and will post a review fairly soon.

#BookRepprt #WeeklyForecast

Finished the Britney memoir today, and have made headway with the rest this week. Next week‘s plan is continue with the 5 unfinished books!

#bookreport
Current read is I Will Ruin You, enjoyable thriller so far.
Loved all my other reads this week.

#bookreport

Currently Reading: Have been mainly reading Homecoming for an upcoming #bookclub meeting; been picking away at ‘67 and started Good Dirt; DQ & Billy are on the back burner for a bit

Recently finished: Really enjoyed all three of these books; all very good books and I enjoyed reading them all.

#BookReport
Finished all of these this week, mostly ahead of schedule!
I didn‘t take to Eurotrash at all, but enjoyed the others for various different reasons.

#bookreport
So it looks like I‘m on a crime run, brain too tired after work this week!
Model Home was just a so- so for me, I struggled with the style of writing maybe it was the tired brain!

#bookreport #weeklyreport

Finished: really didn‘t like The Golden Spruce and how the author took way too long to set up the story, but I really liked the stuff about the person who allegedly chopped this specific tree down. Enjoyed High Society and The Sky is Falling much more; reviews are forthcoming.

Contd in the comments section

#bookreport
Loved The Dark Mirror ❤️
The Other Tenant was an ok thriller.
Penitence was good- lots of unresolved questions at the end, so if you like all things tied up, probably not for you.
Currently reading the new Karen Rose.

#weeklyreport #bookreport

Finished: Took most of the week to complete Book of Negroes and completed Dinosaurs Before Dark in one sitting.

Currently Reading: started Homecoming and The Golden Spruce on Saturday; am hoping that The Golden Spruce will be done early this coming week. Will be posting more reviews this coming week. Happy reading!!

I miss doing a #BookReport and miss @Cinfhen leading the way.

Colored Television was good on audio. I said “Oh, Jane!” numerous times. I‘m glad I stuck it out.

The Lost Passenger was enjoyable. Ultimately an immigrant story set in NYC. It has a lighter tone than most I‘ve read with this time and setting.

The Bell Jar was hard. After sitting on my shelf for years, I‘m grateful to finally have read it. #HashtagBrigade

#bookreport
Got 50% through Nemisis, usually love this series but this one is flat and boring….may finish.
Loved My Good Bright Wolf.
Started Dark Mirror this morning and it‘s great 😁

I was planning on doing a combined book report/weekly forecast post, but there are too many books for a single coherent photo!

So this week‘s #BookReport: finished 4 books started earlier this month:
Sea of Tranquility 8/10
Book Lovers 7/10
Cley 6/10
Small World 7.5/10

And read a further 73 pages of the #Chunkster The Bonfire of the Vanities

#bookreport
Finished re-read of The Mask Falling
Read 2nd in AI detective series- Leave no Trace
Debut novel Exile was good
Just started next one in Orphan X series - Nemesis.

Last week, I finished Weyward, and read:
- 144 pages of Sea of Tranquility;
- 75 pages of Cley
- 108 pages of Small Worlds
- 212 pages of Book Lovers
- 92 pages of The Bonfire of the Vanities.

This week, I will probably finish Sea of Tranquility and Book Lovers, and aim for at least:
- 21 pages of Bonfire;
- 38 pages of Cley
- 56 pages of Small Worlds

And maybe start a new book.

Old Soul was great.
