It’s a bit late in the day, but it’s still Wednesday!
What have you recently finished reading?
I haven’t finished anything in a few days, which is unusual for me — but I blame moving. Looks like the last thing I finished was Jonn Elledge’s A History of the World in 47 Borders, which was ultimately a bit too flippant and glancing for me, even though I generally like books in this format. I did learn some stuff, but, hm. I’m not sure how well I retained it.
What are you currently reading?
I must confess, I’ve grabbed a book off my shelf solely because I think I’ll probably donate it after I’ve read it, and it avoided me having to shuffle 8 shelves’ worth of books along to fit a different book in. So I’ve finally picked up Gwen and Art Are Not In Love (Lex Croucher). I’m trying not to be a purist about it as far as the links to Arthuriana go, but I’m raising my eyebrows a bit all the same (also about whether it’s supposed to fit in historically, given references to other, real countries) or not.
I’m guessing it’s Not That Deep, but that’s why I don’t read a lot of this kind of light-hearted YA-ish romance. I overthink it!
What will you read next?
I really don’t know. I’m eyeing a couple of other books that I suspect I’ll read and then donate, like Kacen Callender’s Felix Ever After, since I’ve been reminded of them while sorting through my books and getting them onto the new bookcases. We’ll see! With all the turmoil of moving, it’s also “whatever can catch and hold my interest right now”, to be quite honest.
It definitely sounds like you’re in mood reading mode
Definitely. Everything’s a lot, so it seems for the best to just go with the flow, reading-wise!
Too bad, the first book sounded so promising.
Last book I finished: Proust, roman familial, by Laure Murat
Am reading: The Last Express, by Baynard H. Kendrick
Am listening to: Respirer le noir (a French collection of mystery short stories)
