Hello!
We are half way through the week and I hope it is going well for everyone so far.
I managed to finish my first book of October yesterday so that pleased me.
What I am Currently Reading
I have started reading this again after taking a little break because I wanted to read some nonfiction. I am really enjoying it so far, I really do enjoy Weir’s writing. It is very rare that I find myself craving nonfiction.
What I have Recently Finished Reading
I picked this back up after a long break but this time I could not put it down. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found it really interested.
What I Think I will Read Next
I’m really not sure what I will read next. I am quite tired a lot at the moment due to work so I’m craving easy and comforting reads.
Please drop me a comment with your WWW Wednesday and I will head over for a visit.
I hope everyone has had a nice weekend. I have been really busy this weekend playing for weddings and church services so I’ve only managed a little bit of reading. However, Blogtober is still on track so fingers crossed I will complete the month.

Hello!
I can’t quite believe that it is October already and since it has been October all I have wanted to do is read nonfiction. I am clearly a month ahead and I’m doing Nonfiction November early.
What I am Currently Reading
I picked this up again and so far I haven’t been able to put it down. I am finding it truly fascinating and I’m learning a lot.
What I have Recently Finished Reading
I really enjoyed this and hope to read the rest of series soon.
What I Think I will Read Next
I have so many books on my TBR but it is also my birthday later this month and I am hoping on getting some new books for my birthday.

Happy Weekend. I had my Flu and Covid jabs yesterday and I must admit I am feeling rather fragile this morning. Maybe, this is a sign to take the day easy and curl up with a good book.

Hello!
My challenge of only reading books that are 300 pages or less in September has nearly come to end and I must admit I have really enjoyed it. It is good to see the TBR pile shrink this month.
What I am Currently Reading
I’m half way through this and really enjoying it so far.
What I have Recently Finished Reading
I love a Maigret book and think this one is my favourite so far.
What I Think I will Read Next
October will be back to normal reading of anything I have on my TBR pile, but I am thinking I will do more reading themes in future months.

I hope everyone has had a nice weekend. I have sadly not managed much reading this weekend due to work and doing work prep but I have managed some reading in the week so it isn’t all bad.
First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?
Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
Finally… reveal the book!
Happy Friday!
I hope everyone has had a good week so far. I thought it was high time I took part in First Lines Friday again. As usual the answer is below the cat pictures.
I went to the dance with Thomas Toofat. It’s Toogood really, but he is too fat, with frizzy hair and flat feet. We never meant to let him know we call him that, but the week before, at the Turners’ picnic, Sally said without thinking, ‘And this is Thomas Toofat…’ Oh, it was utterly withering.

Midsummer Night in the Workhouse by Diana Athill
“I can remember in detail being hit by my first story one January morning in 1958.” So begins literary legend Diana Athill in the preface to Midsummer Night in the Workhouse, a long-overdue collection of her short fiction, originally published in the 1950s to the 1970s.
In unsentimental though often touching prose, Athill’s young women anticipate, enjoy, or just miss out on brief sexual encounters with men met on trains, at parties — just about anywhere they can. A cheating wife, back with her boring husband, is wracked with agonizing love for the unavailable partner of her brief fling; a writer seeks inspiration at a writers’ retreat whilst avoiding the group seducer’s invitation; a wife’s party flirtations propel her possessive husband into another woman’s bed; two fun-loving women face a sinister sexual assault during a Greek holiday; a teenager experiences enraptured detachment during her first kiss.
Beautifully written, perceptive, touching, and funny, Midsummer Night in the Workhouse is Diana Athill at her best.
