Hey folks! I’m not linking this one up, because I know I don’t have the energy to answer many people… but I’d love to hear from regulars. Lisa’s sick, and there’s an outside chance it might be COVID… so it’s quarantine for us.
What are you currently reading?
My wife’s sick, so I’m pretty brain-dead. I’m supposed to be finishing up The Grace of Kings by Ken Liu before the end of the month, but I think the chances are slim. I’ve tried to pick up The Lost Boys, by Gina Parry, which is about the Robbers Cave experiment by Muzafer Sherif; I really want to be interested, but I don’t have enough brain.
Kassia St. Clair’s The Secret Lives of Colour is going down better, because it has very short chapters.
What have you recently finished reading?
The Return of the Earl, by Sandra Schwab, which was kind of cute but won’t prove memorable. I had to look up the eponymous Earl’s name again to write my review two days later, eek.
Before that it was Rivers Solomon’s The Deep, which was less forgettable but which I haven’t quite managed to review yet.
What will you be reading next?
I really have no idea. I’m being gently urged to reread some favourites, whether that’s Dorothy L. Sayers or Becky Chambers or something else, in the hopes that whatever it is will better suit my brain at the moment through its familiarity. Probably a solid plan, but who knows if I’ll stick to it.
What are you reading?
Here’s hoping she’s better soon!
Better every day, thankfully! 🙂 Thanks!
All my best to you and your wife – I hope she feels better soon and that you feel less exhausted. Reading something familiar is a very good idea. I always find it settles the mind 🙂
Thanks! I think we’re turning the corner there. 😀
Yay! I’m so glad to hear 😀
I’m sorry to read about your wife. I hope she feels better soon. 😉
I can see why your reading gives you a little trouble at the moment. I hope you’ll get back into it soon.
She’s doing better! A whole bowl of soup has been consumed. 🙂 Thanks for dropping by!
This week was a bit up and down. Read a Paddington book, a horror novella then redeemed a slow week by reading a Jenny Lawson book Thursday and Friday. Hopefully, a better week ahead!
Why do I always hit the button before I’ve finished my comment!!! I just wanted to say I hope Lisa doesn’t have the virus and that whatever it is, she’s better soon. Having had it in our family in May, I do feel for you both if that’s what it is. My dad and I send our best wishes *hugs*
