Hello!
I hope you are all having a good week so far. I will be honest today has been rather a tiring day and I am thoroughly looking forward to getting into bed with my book later.
What I am Currently Reading
This is an interesting read and not what I was expecting. So far it is an excellent read.
What I have Recently Finished Reading
I found this an interesting read and will be writing and posting my review soon.
What I Think I will Read Next
I have bought quite a few new books recently and I can’t wait to read them. I just don’t know what to read first!
Please drop me a comment with your WWW Wednesday and I will head over for a visit.

Hello!
Pinch, punch first of the month! Yes it is May, I’m not sure how we are already in May but I’m really hoping this means less rain and more sunshine. I want to get out and read in my garden!
Anyway, my chosen book for Goodreads Monday is one that I have recently added to my TBR list on Goodreads but one that I hope to read very soon and not just because the lady at Waterstones said it was her favourite book of 2023 so far.
New York is slipping from Cleo’s grasp. Sure, she’s at a different party every other night, but she barely knows anyone. Her student visa is running out, and she doesn’t even have money for cigarettes. But then she meets Frank. Twenty years older, Frank’s life is full of all the success and excess that Cleo’s lacks. He offers her the chance to be happy, the freedom to paint, and the opportunity to apply for a green card. She offers him a life imbued with beauty and art—and, hopefully, a reason to cut back on his drinking. He is everything she needs right now.
Cleo and Frank run head-first into a romance that neither of them can quite keep up with. It reshapes their lives and the lives of those around them, whether that’s Cleo’s best friend struggling to embrace his gender identity in the wake of her marriage, or Frank’s financially dependent sister arranging sugar daddy dates after being cut off. Ultimately, this chance meeting between two strangers outside of a New Year’s Eve party changes everything, for better or worse.
Cleopatra and Frankenstein is an astounding and painfully relatable debut novel about the spontaneous decisions that shape our entire lives and those imperfect relationships born of unexpectedly perfect evenings.

Hello!
I hope everyone is well and having a good week so far. I have really managed to push forward on my reading this week but I’m still running behind on my book reviews sadly.
What I am Currently Reading
I started this a couple of days ago and so far I am really enjoying it. I love Haynes’ portrayal of Zeus because it is how I have always imagined him.
What I have Recently Finished Reading
I have finally finished it! If I hadn’t been so distracted by other things I would have soon had this book finished but sadly my focus just wasn’t there until this week.
I’m aiming for shorter books for the rest of this month because I hope to make headway with The Count of Monte Cristo as well.

Happy Easter Monday Everyone!
I have the week off this week and although I have things to sort and do I am planning a few little adventures. I am also planning on catching up on my reading as I have rather fallen behind.
My chosen book this week is by an author I have wanted to read for a long time but have still not managed to get around to reading. This year I mean to change this and I have bought a few of the books to make sure they are waiting on my TBR pile. This is one of the books I plan on reading soon.
Dick Young is lent a house in Cornwall by his friend Professor Magnus Lane. During his stay he agrees to serve as guinea pig for a new drug Magnus has discovered in his biochemical research; the effect of which is to transport Dick from the house at Kilmarth to the Cornwall of the 14th century.
What are your thoughts on this book if you have read it?

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!
This weeks Top Ten Tuesday is a rewind so I have chosen last weeks topic as I missed it last week. So here are some of the books I plan to read in Spring 2023.
All of these have been stuck on my TBR pile for far top long. This year I am buying less books and so far I have only bought one book a month. This lack of book buying will hopefully mean I can get through my TBR pile a bit this year.
Fingers crossed I get around to reading some of these books.

Happy Monday!
I hope everyone has had a good start to the week. I will be honest I haven’t had the best start to the week. Teaching naughty children and having my time wasted left me very annoyed but at least I got some reading done in my lunch break.
My chosen book this week is one from one of my all time favourite authors, Alexandre Dumas. I would love to eventually read all of his books but I will be honest most of his books are rather weighty and take me quite a while to read. However, I live in hope that one day I will manage it.
Cornelius von Baerle, a respectable tulip-grower, lives only to cultivate the elusive black tulip and win a magnificent prize for its creation. But after his powerful godfather is assassinated, the unwitting Cornelius becomes caught up in deadly political intrigue and is falsely accused of high treason by a bitter rival. Condemned to life imprisonment, his only comfort is Rosa, the jailer’s beautiful daughter, and together they concoct a plan to grow the black tulip in secret. Dumas’ last major historical novel is a tale of romantic love, jealousy and obsession, interweaving historical events surrounding the brutal murders of two Dutch statesman in 1672 with the phenomenon of tulipomania that gripped seventeenth-century Holland.
Fingers crossed I will get around to reading this soon but first I must finish The Count of Monte Cristo!

Hello!
I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I sadly haven’t managed much reading so far this week but hopefully I will manage a bit more over the weekend.
What I am Currently Reading
I have been mainly reading this since last Wednesday as it is quite a battered book so I haven’t felt guilty about carrying it around everywhere. I am really enjoying the book so far.
What I have Recently Finished Reading
I have loved the Diddly Squat books. They have been some great quick reads these past few weeks.
What I Think I will Read Next
As usual I have so many books that I want to read and no idea what I will read next. I really need to try and finish all the books I have on the go first though.
