I typically don’t have more than 3-4 books going on but I’ve managed to have a lot of books going on at once so I thought I’d share a bit of what I’m currently reading.
Our House by Louise Candlish. A domestic noir thriller about a woman who finds strangers moving into her house and she can’t get a hold of her husband. What is going on? Very intriguing so far.
Code Girls by Liza Mundy. I started reading this one during Nonfiction November and it is fascinating but this is probably a book that will take me a while to finish.
Gorky Park by Martin Cruz Smith. Should have finished this last month for book group but while the book is well written, the pace is very slow.
Final Girls by Riley Sager. A good thriller I’m enjoying on my commute.
The Spellbook of Katrina Van Tassel by Alyssa Palombo. This was supposed to be one of my R.I.P. reads but it’s my lunch time book and I seem to keep getting interrupted or caught up reading other things so this one has been set aside for some time.
The Beautiful Mystery by Louise Penny. I am really enjoying this audiobook but I had to return it to the library before I could finish it so I’m waiting for it to be available again.
The Cutting Edge by Jeffery Deaver. This is one I probably have to re-start if I get back to it. I’ve not been a reader of this series so I do feel a bit lost.
America Is Not the Heart by Elaine Castillo. Another book that’s been on my nightstand for months. I like it but I feel like it’s just not moving.
So I know this isn’t telling you much about the books but more about my feeling about them but there you go.
And, I really should not start another book until I finish several of these but the thing is that I need to go pick up my mystery book for book group later this month and I definitely will want to try and read that before we meet.
That’s it – my goal this week is to finish at least one of these books! What about you, what are you reading and any books you are finding it hard to finish?
That’s a lot of bookmarks, lol! The Code Girls sounds appealing, but don’t think I’m up for any slow/complicated reads this month.
I loved The Code Girls, but like much of nonfiction, it is a slower process. I abandoned Our House–at first I was fascinated, but then…I just wasn’t. The Spellbook is on my list, and Louise Penny and Jeffrey Deaver are authors I usually enjoy.
I just finished The Plotters yesterday. It was fascinating and strange. My current read is The Last of the Stanfields –with names like Eleanor-Rigby Donovan and George-Harrison Collins, I couldn’t resist!
I am trying to find a fun book to read that are in my stacks. It will be sleeting this weekend, so I need a good read to keep me entertained
I am reading the Beautiful Mystery, I read this series in order, because of the great characters and what is going on in their lives. Like you I always read 2 or 3 or 4 books at once.
I have three books to read before my next batch of library holds come in next week, which should be doable…I hope. Good luck with all of your current reads!
That is a lot of books! I started Code Girls earlier this year, but got distracted and never finished it. I hope you get to finish!
I’m really loving the Inspector Gamache series. I just need to get to the most recent one!
You have so many going! I haven’t yet started another one after having just finished both War and Peace and Les Miserables. I kind of feel all read out. LOL Definitely something lighter is in order now, I think. I will be curious to know what you think of all of these when you finish. Several are ones I have on my radar. I enjoyed Palombo’s book, although I didn’t love it. The second half was definitely better for me than the first half.
I try not to read more than one at a time unless I absolutely have to for a pending review , otherwise I get way too distracted and forget the storylines. I want to pick up The Spellbook of Katrina Van Tassel . Enjoy your books and hopefully you get to finish a few, have a good week!
I enjoyed Our House and Final Girls! Such great reads.
I always admire readers who can read more than one book. For me, two is the max and I tend to mix the genre in case I get confused.. 🙂
