What did you recently finish reading?
I recently finished reading
The Art Of Being Normal by Lisa Williamson which ended up being a pretty mixed bag for me. It was a book that I heard lots of good things about when it was first released all the way back in 2015 but never got to reading. I spotted a copy in my local library so I decided to give it a go. There were a lot of things that I liked about it but there were also some issues that stuck out for the wrong reasons. I'm planning on posting a review for this book so hopefully that will be up soon.
I also just finished
The Girl Who Came Out Of The Woods by Emily Barr. This was an eARC read I got through netgalley and I really enjoyed this one. It ended up going in a completely different direction then I thought it was going to go as I orginally thought it would be closer to a thriller but this was still a solid contemporary. My review for this one should be up in the next couple of weeks.
What are you currently reading?
My current read is
A Little Princess by Frances Hodgeson Burnett which is a book I'm reading as part of a personal challenge to read one classic a month. I decided to start off with a pretty easy children's book to ease my way in to this challenge. I'm only a couple of chapters in although it's a really short book but I'm enjoying it so far. I was fairly sure I would cause the film is one of my childhood favourites.
What do you think you'll read next?
For my physical read i'm planning on picking up
The Alienist by Caleb Carr which is another library book. I knew this book was turned into a mini-series recently and I always like to read the source material first. This looks really interesting and i'm definitely in the mood for a historical mystery-thriller.
The year is 1896. The
city is New York. Newspaper reporter John Schuyler Moore is summoned by
his friend Dr. Laszlo Kreizler—a psychologist, or “alienist”—to view the
horribly mutilated body of an adolescent boy abandoned on the
unfinished Williamsburg Bridge. From there the two embark on a
revolutionary effort in criminology: creating a psychological profile of
the perpetrator based on the details of his crimes. Their dangerous
quest takes them into the tortured past and twisted mind of a murderer
who will kill again before their hunt is over.
My next ebook will be
Patron Saints of Nothing by Randy Ribay, another book on my netgalley shelf. This has been getting some good reviews so i'm excited to dive into this.
Jay Reguero plans to
spend the last semester of his senior year playing video games before
heading to the University of Michigan in the fall. But when he discovers
that his Filipino cousin Jun was murdered as part of President
Duterte's war on drugs, and no one in the family wants to talk about
what happened, Jay travels to the Philippines to find out the real
story.
Hoping to uncover more about Jun and the events that led
to his death, Jay is forced to reckon with the many sides of his cousin
before he can face the whole horrible truth -- and the part he played in
it.
