Linking up with Taking on a World of Words.
What are you currently reading?
I got the latest British Library Crime Classic release from my subscription yesterday, so I’ve dived into that! It’s a new E.C.R. Lorac, Impact of Evidence, written under her other pseudonym, Carol Carnac. It’s set on the Welsh borders and has an intriguing set up of a flood, a car accident, and a mysterious extra corpse no one recognises. I want to finish it today!
I’m still reading Work: A History of How We Spend Our Time, which so far has been all about pre-farming societies, and is only just starting to move onto more modern stuff, even though I’m halfway through it. I need to settle down for a longer reading session on this one, I think, else I lose the thread of it.
What have you recently finished reading?
Last thing I finished up was my reread of the second volume of The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System (Mò Xiāng Tóng Xiù), which… I only read it in January, but I wanted to reread after finishing the last volume because I felt like I’d missed some details. And I definitely had!
Also, my wife’s started reading the series now, finallyyyy. So I have some company in my new obsession, ha.
What are you reading next?
Well… most likely it’ll be the third volume of The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System, for a start. But I’m also planning to read Seanan McGuire’s Mislaid in Parts Half-Known. It looks like there are dinosaurs, based on the cover?! I want dinosaurs for sure.
Other than that, I’m not sure. Wherever my whim takes me!
How about you, dear reader? What are you currently reading?
All of these books sound interesting. I just shelved some of the Scum Villain books at work yesterday, and I had to stop and skim as I had never heard of them before and the title made me pause. Happy reading!
I really love the Scum Villain books, but they’re so much a product of Chinese culture that I don’t quite know whether to recommend them to people, you know? I mean, I got into them knowing nothing about that context, but still…
Interesting sounding books. It must be nice to be able to discuss books. The only books me and my partner have in common is the Harry Potter series. He started reading it to our oldest son but we drifted away from it
Have a great week!

I’ve always been lucky — me and my mum read a lot of the same books, and me and my wife overlap a lot as well. It’s awesome!
