This weekly reading list meme is hosted at Book Date. Join in to see what others are reading and maybe get some ideas of what to read next! Although the Book Date link-up happens weekly, I don't update that often. Usually I do this around the middle of the month, and try to share my monthly bookshelf summary on the last Monday of the month. Here's what I've been working on lately.
This summer has been a lot slower in terms of reading than I'd expected or would have liked, and I haven't got into the swing of things so far in September either. I've got a couple of review books I need to focus on and some new titles on my stack that I'm motivated to get going on, so hopefully I can curl up with one of these good books more often this fall!
I finished reading . . .
Reykjavík: A Crime Story by Ragnar Jónasson and Katrín Jakobsdóttir - A young journalist, and then his sister, pursue mysterious leads about what happened to a young girl who disappeared without a trace thirty years earlier. (Read my review HERE.)
Composition As Conversation by Heather M. Hoover - I still need to write my review of this guidebook for writing engaging and interesting material. I'm teaching a high school writing class at co-op again this year, and I liked the approaches and ideas in this digital ARC enough that I purchased the paperback, so that's a little preview of my thoughts for the review.
I'm currently reading . . .
The Starlet Spy by Rachel Scott McDaniel - During WWII a Swedish-born Hollywood actress is recruited to hunt down top secret documents. I need to pick up the pace on this, as it is a review book.
Next on the stack . . .
The Vanishing at Castle Moreau by Jaime Jo Wright - a dual timeline story centering around a castle and its mysterious residents who have an ominous reputation. I started this one awhile ago, had to shelve it while I got caught up on other things, and plan to pick it up again soon.
Voice of the Ancient by Connilyn Cossette
A Louisiana Christmas To Remember - novella collection
A Fatal Illusion by Anna Lee Huber
Queen of Exiles by Vanessa Riley
Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn
Murder Most Fair by Anna Lee Huber
