It's Monday . . . What Are You Reading?

Well, here we are at Monday again (joy!). Right now is a busy, busy time of year in my corner of the world, with end-of-school-year hoopla and a quick trip out of town. I have had some limited reading time, but I haven't posted to the blog in a few days. Here are the book-related things I have managed to squeeze in amongst all the craziness this past week . . .

Last week, I completed this new release:

Shirley: A Novel by Susan Scarf Merrell is an interesting read, a sort of psychological thriller about a young woman who goes to stay in the home of the writer Shirley Jackson in the 1960s. I would say it is a must-read for serious Shirley Jackson fans, but I found the book not wholly satisfying. You can read my review here.

Last week, I posted my first Top Ten List. The topic of the week was Top Ten Books I've Read So Far This Year. You can read my list right here.

I read this book this past week:

I will post my review of Julia Fierro's Cutting Teeth later this week.

And here is what I'm reading right now:

In Tom Rachman's new novel The Rise and Fall of Great Powers, a young woman, the owner of a used bookstore in a quiet Welsh village, seeks to uncover the mysterious secrets of her past. I'm enjoying trying to unravel the threads as I go!

Hope everyone has some great reading material lined up for the coming week!
