What did you recently finish reading?
I read Viper's Dream by Jake Lamar within a few hours on Sunday and really enjoyed it. Surprising considering this was a random library pick and I wasn't too sure if I was even going to read it before returning it but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. This was a dark, gritty crime novel set in the world of jazz that explores the life of a black gangster during the 30s-60s era and I thought it was very well written.
What are you currently reading?
I'm about 25% in to Confessions by Catherine Airey which is told across three timelines/generations of women in one family in New York and Ireland. I'm loving this one, I love Airey's writing and the plot is extremely interesting as well. It's the book I'm reaching for the most at the moment.
I also just started The Burial Plot by Elizabeth McNeal which is set in Victorian London about a woman who pretends to be a lady's maid and end up working for a mysterious, wealthy family. I'm only 50 pages in but it's very good so far and I'm excited for the plot to kick in. I also need to finish it before Saturday when my books are being returned to the library!
What do you think you'll read next?
I'm trying to read more backlist titles that have been sitting on my shelf for years so The Probability of Miracles by Wendy Wunder is next up on my TBR. I got this when I was a teenager and firmly in my YA contemporary era but it's still one that sounds interesting plus it's also on my 25 in 25 list that I'm slacking on.
Dry, sarcastic, sixteen-year-old Cam Cooper has spent the last seven years in and out hospitals. The last thing she wants to do in the short life she has left is move 1,500 miles away to Promise, Maine - a place known for the miraculous events that occur there. But it's undeniable that strange things happen in everlasting sunsets; purple dandelions; flamingoes in the frigid Atlantic; an elusive boy named Asher; and finally, a mysterious envelope containing a list of things for Cam to do before she dies. As Cam checks each item off the list, she finally learns to believe - in love, in herself, and even in miracles.
