What do you think you’ll read next?

Currently reading: No progress this week in Más allá de la magia (Beyond the Wand) by Tom Felton unfortunately. I think we’ll have some more good weather soon and I can read on the porch again, but until then it’s not looking good. We might be getting back to a time I can read before bed, but it will be inconsistent. I’m still looking forward to it.
We had some cold weather last week that minimized walks while listening to Vita Brevis by Ruth Downie. It’s supposed to get warm again after some rain so I’ll be optimistic here!
I decided to skip around my TBR a bit for my new ebook. I’m usually very religious about following it, but I’ve been wating to get into Good Inside by Becky Kennedy. I follow Kennedy on Instagram and think this might be helpful with handling my toddler’s emotional rollarcoaster lately. At least I hope it will help me stay a little calmer. I just started yesterday and hoping to move through it quickly!

Recently finished: My ebook speed is on point and I flew through the rest of Can I Say by Travis Barker. I posted my review on Monday and ended up giving this one Three out of Five Stars. I wasn’t a huge fan of the writing style, but Barker is a musician, not a writer, and I tried to be forgiving of that. I found it pretty interesting, even if I didn’t relate well to the people in Barker’s life.
More on the ebook front to report. I flew through Under the Banner of Heaven by Jon Krakaur. This absolutely fascinated me. I knew very little about Mormonism so I learned a lot. The main story was a little hard to stomach, but the historical context Krakaur gives is fascinating. I’ll hope to have a review up next week.

Reading next: With how fast I’m getting through ebooks, I think I’ll need a plan for my next one. Going back to my TBR, I’m hoping to grab The Last Chairlift by John Irving. Irving has written some of my favorite books, and also some flops that I had to really try to finish. This is one of his latest offerings which I’ve historically enjoyed more. We’ll see how it goes.

    I hope that Good Inside helps with dealing with your toddler. I remember my daughter at that age and it was soooo hard. She is an amazing woman now though so don’t despair . I really enjoyed your review of Can I say and look forward to seeing what you think of Under the Banner of Heaven.

    I read Garp but no other Irving that I recall – I am afraid I just didn’t get it. I don’t by any means read all feel-good books but lately I have preferred to have at least one appealing character.

    I hope you are getting some sleep and that the weather is decent for stroller rides. New England has had a lot of rain, including this morning.

      Garp wasn’t my favorite of Irving’s books but it was memorable! The Midwest has been rainy, too. Happy reading!

    I’ve finished quite a few books recently but I’m really behind with writing reviews. Some people describe themselves as ‘mood readers’. I think I’m a ‘mood review writer’!

    I hope that you get some good weather so that you can do more reading.

    Ive just finished the TV series of Under The Banner of Heaven. It was so interesting with regards to the Mormon faith. It was dark though.

    Have a great week!

    Irving is also a bit hit or miss for me. I absolutely adore some of them and really struggle with others. I look forward to seeing what you think of this one. Here’s my WWW Wednesday – March-27-2024
