Hello!

I hope everyone is having a good week so far. My week has been rather busy so far but I am still managing some reading. I had an exciting delivery of crafting supplies today so I am hoping to take some time to do crafting during half term.

What I am Currently Reading

I am absolutely loving The Count of Monte Cristo but I must be honest I am not getting very well with The Pilgrim’s Progress.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

I flew through The Last Remains and if I hadn’t had to do this thing called work I would have probably read it in one day. My review for The Woman Who Would Be King is here.

Hello!

I hope you are all having a good week so far. Today has been a rather long day work wise. I’ve had students throw tantrums, students tell me ridiculous excuses for not practicing and students try and tell me that a piece I set them to practice for homework was not in the book. I do love it when an 8 year old tries to tell me I have no clue what I am doing.

Anyway back to the reading.

What I am Currently Reading

I am still trying to read at least a chapter a day of The Count of Monte Cristo but I have decided I can’t read it in bed anymore, this is due to the fact I fell asleep whilst reading and nearly gave myself a black eye when I dropped the book on my face. No reading in bed has slowed the progress somewhat for The Count of Monte Cristo. The Woman Who Would Be King is a great read but I must admit I do find Cooney a bit repetitive at times. I find myself saying ‘you have already told me this why are you telling me again?’.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

Nothing! This is really bad as I usually I have at least one book finished.

What I Think I will Read Next

I need to get a move on with my reading as I have got rather bogged down with my current reads and would love to get reading some other books.

Hello!

I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I have had rather a trying day at school today so I am looking forward to curling up with my book later.

What I am Currently Reading

I have fallen a bit behind with my aim of reading a chapter of this a day so today during my lunch break I made an effort to try and catch up and I am really enjoying reading it. I think I will stick to reading just this book for a few days and see how it goes.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

I finished this book this morning and I must admit I am quite pleased I finished it as I found this a really hard slog of a read.

What I Think I will Read Next

I am trying to be more structured with my reading this year so I am trying to keep up with my planned reads each month but also allowing myself some mood reads as well. I plan to read The Woman Who Would Be King as my nonfiction book this month.

Hello!

I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I saw a lovely thing today whilst at school. Children were outside during first break with their books reading together, apparently they have set up their own little bookclub and it was just wonderful to see a group of children enjoying reading together and talking about what they were reading.

What I am Currently Reading

I am only 15 pages into this so far as I started it during my lunch break at school today.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

I must admit I didn’t really enjoy Who Killed Jerusalem? that much. It was one of those books that felt too much like hard work. Here is the review. I just finished The Greek Myths by Richard Buxton and I absolutely loved it! Review will follow shortly.

What I Think I will Read Next

I think I will definitely read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius in February as that is my next ancient text I want to read but I’m not sure what other books I will read In February.

Hello!

I hope everyone is well. Reading hasn’t been going quite so well this week, I’ve still managed some reading everyday but not as much as I would like.

What I am Currently Reading

The more I read this book the more bizarre it gets. I like how the author has used creations by William Blake within this book but at the same time it is just to strange and I really don’t like the main character.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

I throughly enjoyed this book and it was great to get back into reading my classics again. Here is the review if you are interested.

What I Think I will Read Next

I have so many books I want to read this year and because of this I plan to be a lot more restrained with my book buying.

Hello!

I hope everyone has had a good week so far. I have been back at work this week and it has been rather a shock to the system but I am still trying to keep up with my reading.

What I am Currently Reading

I have nearly finished this now and I am really enjoying it. I will definitely be reading more Classics this year.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

I read this at the weekend as I quite fancied a short read. It was quite a strange book but fun and I found it amusing in places.

What I Think I will Read Next

I have so many books to read that I am never sure what to read next. It all depends what mood I am in, the curse of being a mood reader.

Hello!

Welcome to my first WWW Wednesday of 2023. I have had a lovely day today doing lots of crafting and it has been so relaxing. All my crafting projects (well the ones that work) are going on to my Etsy site.

What I am Currently Reading

I started reading a chapter a day of these two books from New Year’s Day and I have really been enjoying both books. I will probably start to read more of The Count of Monte Cristo once I have finished Aeneid.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

I absolutely loved The Box of Delights and I have ordered The Midnight Folk to read next.

What I Think I will Read Next

I have so many books that I want to read at the moment I am finding it difficult to choose as I just want to read them all at the same time. I might have to start a TBR jar and pick a book at random.

Hello!

Is everyone ready for Christmas yet? I am still nowhere near ready for Christmas but hopefully I will get there soon. One thing I do know is that I won’t be able to read as many books as I usually do in December this year.

What I am Currently Reading

I just started the poems today and so far so good. Yes I am still plodding along with the Kate Mosse and I am determined to finish it before the New Year.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

The Penguin Book of Christmas Stories wasn’t really a finish because once I got to page 136 the book started again at page 89. I was really frustrated and upset about this as I was really enjoying the book but sadly I am unable to finish it. I did ask Penguin about this on Twitter but they chose to ignore my tweet, oh well. I finished Murder in the Falling Snow this morning and I really enjoyed it. I really enjoy these books and I always make sure I buy the new one each year.

What I Think I will Read Next

I really don’t have a clue what I will read next. To be honest it all depends on my mood.

Hello!

I hope everyone is having a good week so far. Our December is not going quite to plan so far. We have had lock problems, car problems and problems with the house. We are hoping our luck will change soon. I have finally started my festive reading but it is looking less and less likely that I will get many festive reads complete this month.

What I am Currently Reading

I am really enjoying this so far. Some of the stories I have read before but others I have never come across which is really nice and I also really love the variety.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

These sadly did not have the wow factor for me and were a bit disappointing.

Here are the reviews:

Ithaca

Politically Correct Holiday Stories

What I Think I will Read Next

Going to stick with my festive reads for now but just in case I have included some non festive reads as well.

I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I have managed to get a bit of reading done this week but I must admit this week has been quite tiring work wise so I am looking forward to my day off tomorrow.
