Hello!

I’ve so far had a really good week reading. I even read for half an hour whilst on my exercise bike, I’m not sure how much effort I put into the pedalling but my FitBit said I had burned some calories.

What I am Currently Reading

For the first time in ages I am reading two books at the same time. I made the mistake of reading the first chapter of The Women of Troy when I downloaded it onto my iPad and now I can’t put it down. I also wrote an assignment last year on Helen of Troy and so I was intrigued about the book. Ariadne is also fantastic.

What I Have Recently Finished Reading

This book had some lovely characters in and some real comedy moments. Review

What I Think I will Read Next

Any one of these will be my next read I think.

So there is my week in books.

Please drop me comment if you want to chat about any of the books. Also please drop me a comment with your WWW Wednesday and I will head over for a visit.

Happy Reading

Top Ten Tuesday: My Ten Most Recent Reads

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. For more info please check out Jana’s blog.

Hello!

I haven’t taken part in Top Ten Tuesday for quite a long time so I thought it was high time I joined in.

So here are my ten most recent reads. I will include a link to the reviews as well.

I loved the characters in this book but I will be honest I did get a little bored with the story. I will give Osman’s second book a read though when it comes out.

I really enjoyed this but I did find it slightly sad as well.

Maigret and the Saturday Caller.

I loved this book because it showed just how caring Maigret is.

Maigret and the Calame Report

My first Maigret book and the one which got me hooked to the Maigret series.

This is the second book in the Shardlake series and I could not put it down. I loved seeing how Shardlake gathered all the clues and worked out who the suspects were.

My first Tommy and Tuppence book. I enjoyed this but it didn’t have Christie’s usual flare but I suspect that is because it was one of her early books.

The third Expanse book and I must admit they just keep getting better and better.

I will be honest I was rather unimpressed with this book considering all the good reviews I read about it.

Absolutely adored this book. I read it in one sitting. I will definitely be reading more books by Garrett.

This was a creepy read but I did enjoy it and it has some fantastic characters in it.

So there are my ten most recent reads. Please drop me a comment with your Top Ten Tuesday and I will head over for a visit.

Reading My Height in Books #4

Hello!

Yes, it is that time again, it is time for the monthly update of Reading My Height in Books. I keep plodding along hoping I will manage the challenge but I will be honest, I’m already behind on my Goodreads challenge and know full well that time is my biggest problem.

I read 5 books in April and they were all physical books so that has helped the height. So here is the new pile.

The new height is 18.5 inches just 48.5 inches to go!

Here are the pictures from January, February and March.

Happy Reading!
