Jaws | Peter Benchley

I'm taking a break from listening to Don Quixote during my commute.. and I started listening to Jaws! 🦈

Thoroughly enjoying it, though I have to remind myself this was written in the 70's because his references to costs and what seemed expensive back then.... man, I WISH. Imagine making 8k a YEAR and still being able to afford a house and support a stay at home mom/wife and child. Yeah... right. Not in this economy!!

My Forbidden Face | Latifa

These past 2 days i have been in the mood to just read and it feels great. Reading for hours and into the night is soothing my tired body and soul right now to the point where i am very antisocial at the moment 😆

My Favourite Mistake | Marian Keyes

Babe, wake up, new Walsh Sisters novel just dropped! #CurrentlyReading

willaful Do you suppose she's going to catch up with all of them?

I never read Anybody Out There, will have to give it a go before this. 3d

Andrea313 @willaful I'm not sure if she'll do another book for each sister, though I'd love if she did! We got a pretty good look at Claire's life (through Helen's lens) in Mercy Close, and she did give us more of Rachel in the one I'm tagging here. I'm still very early into this one, so we'll see how much of the other sisters we get- either way, I'll take all of it!

Again, Rachel

The Work | Bri Lee

Starting on this one today. Went to see Bri speak about her debut novel last night. I have read two of her non-fiction books. Eggshell Skull is my favourite. #currentlyreading #ozfiction

CarolynM There was a really snarky review of this and also Louise Milligan‘s novel in the Age on the weekend. It made me wonder whether they are both bad (I knew @Jeg didn‘t like the Milligan) or if the reviewer‘s envy was showing. I look forward to seeing what you think of this one. 1w

LeeRHarry Have this on hold at the library - looking forward to your thoughts. 😊 1w

MrsMalaprop @CarolynM The ‘flavour‘ of a few reviews put me off a little, and made me decide not to choose it for book club. I will be sure to post a review when I‘m done @LeeRHarry. And I don‘t think it will take be long to finish as it‘s quite pacy! 1w

Jeg Will be interested to see what you think of this. I love her nonfiction. Louise Milligans was a disappointment and I do love her nonfiction. 1w

And So Did I | Malachi Whitaker

I am #currentlyreading this little book that has sat on my TBR shelves for many years. I think I was loaned it (oops) by someone when I did my country school psychology placement in the 90s. Has anyone heard of the author or her short stories?

She wrote this memoir in her early 40s, which seems too young to be feeling so tired. Although it was 1939 and no doubt women‘s lives were very different then…🤔

Book Report: Publishing Strategies, Writing Tips, and 101 Literary Ideas for Aspiring Authors and Poets | Mark Shaw

#bookreport & #weeklyforecast
#finished: I finished quite a number of books this past week, due in large part to #deweysreadathon that was held on Saturday and the fact that I had two book club meetings last week (finished my other book last week). Reviews of these books will be forthcoming this week.

#currentlyreading: still plugging away at The Kingdom and will be picking up The Essex Serpent again this week (just a really busy reading time)

melissajayne #upcomingreads: I am planning on starting The Women, Legends and Wolf Hall this coming week. I hope to try to combine my apartment cleaning/packing with my reading as much as possible.

Hope you all have a wonderful week of reading.📚 1w
