Currently reading: I keep forgetting to read The Girl with Ghost Eyes by M.H. Boroson when I get time. I’ve been playing Wordle and variants of it to the point of obsession. I should read instead. This is a bad habit.
I keep picking away at True History of The Kelly Gang by Peter Carey and I know I’ll finish it eventually, but it’s still not a priority over sleep. I think I’ve got my ducks in a row so I’m not pushing it.
I keep surprising myself with my progress in Where the Light Enters by Sara Donati. I never would have guessed I’d be a quarter through it already! I’m feeling great about this.

Recently finished: I keep trying.

91tzXN8Fp0LReading next: Maybe if I think about how much I want to read A House at the Bottom of a Lake by Josh Malerman, I’ll actually make progress with an ebook. I’ll see if that works this week.

Kelly

Currently reading: I didn’t read anything from The Girl with Ghost Eyes by M.H. Boroson this week. I’m not in a rush to finish it, honestly. This one is falling a bit flat for me.
I made a little time for True History of The Kelly Gang by Peter Carey. I’m getting to the part of Ned’s life that I’m aware of so it’s fun to see it develop. I might have to watch the movie again after I finish this one. It’s been a while.
I’m making respectable progress in Where the Light Enters by Sara Donati. I think the length is motivating me to find more time and keep moving forward more than I normally would!

Recently finished: Nothing this week, but that’s expected. I’m hoping to add something more soon!

91tzXN8Fp0LReading next: If I can ever get myself to read my ebook, I’ll start A House at the Bottom of a Lake by Josh Malerman next. Maybe in time for Halloween?

Ghost

Currently reading: I wasn’t able to open The Girl with Ghost Eyes by M.H. Boroson, though I did try! Baby is going through some big changes at their age so I keep looking up parenting advice instead of reading. Who knows if it’s helping.
I read just a little bit from True History of The Kelly Gang by Peter Carey but I have found I’m moving forward slowly. I think I can get it done in a reasonable time frame, but I’m still going to prioritize sleep first.
I’m still on the prologue of Where the Light Enters by Sara Donati. It’s a long prologue so that’s not a bad thing, per say. This is going to be a long haul!

Recently finished: Nothing new this week but I was able to post my review of Tabula Rasa by Ruth Downie on Monday so please to check that out! I gave it Three out of Five Stars. I’m excited for the next in the series!

91tzXN8Fp0LReading next: I know I’ll start A House at the Bottom of a Lake by Josh Malerman eventually. I’m in no rush.

51FUsCV0vdL

Currently reading: I managed to read some of The Girl with Ghost Eyes by M.H. Boroson and for a minute I thought I might finish it. But that didn’t happen. I’m getting really close, though!
I got through very little of True History of The Kelly Gang by Peter Carey this week. I’ve been really tired and not sleeping well so time to read before bed has gone away. I’m trying to commit to sleeping more so we’ll see if I can make more time!
I started Where the Light Enters by Sara Donati! I’m still on the prologue, but I’ll get there. It’s so fun to start something new.

41JYZlm4QsLRecently finished: I finished Tabula Rasa by Ruth Downie on Saturday! I’m so glad to have finally finished this. I gave it Three out of Five Stars. I hope to write the book review this weekend and have it for you all early next week! It can be hard to find time with the Baby, but I’ll try to sneak away during a nap or pass them off to Dad for a little bit and sneak away.

91tzXN8Fp0LReading next: If I can keep making some progress with my ebook, I should be able to start A House at the Bottom of a Lake by Josh Malerman soon! Remaining optimistic.

Kelly

Currently reading: I don’t think I read any of The Girl with Ghost Eyes by M.H. Boroson again. I wish this book grabbed me more so I had a reason to push forward with it, but it hasn’t demanded my attention as some have.
I read a chapter from True History of The Kelly Gang by Peter Carey which felt great! I’d love to make more progress with this one since I’ve enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully I can keep that up.
The weather has finally started to turn warm so I’ve been able to listen to Tabula Rasa by Ruth Downie while running consistently. I’m so close! I know I’ll have this one finished next week.

Recently finished: I’m feeling confident I’ll have something next week!

51FUsCV0vdLReading next: I’ll get to A House at the Bottom of a Lake by Josh Malerman. Eventually
I’m really hopeing I’ll start Where the Light Enters by Sara Donati next week. It seems like a good time to start a nice long audiobook.

Ghost

Currently reading: I didn’t read The Girl with Ghost Eyes by M.H. Boroson this week. I know I’m really close to finishing it, I just haven’t had any good time for an ebook so it’s lingering. If I can find a good time in my schedule to open it consistently, it will finish quickly, but I haven’t found a good time for that.
I did get through some of True History of The Kelly Gang by Peter Carey. I’ve been making an effort to read a few pages before bed each night and it’s great to see some progress here!
It’s been nice enough (between snow storms) for some running so I’ve made progress with Tabula Rasa by Ruth Downie, too! I’ve got about 10% left in the audio. Here’s hoping it stays nice enough to finish it up soon!

Recently finished: Optimism, optimism.

91tzXN8Fp0LReading next: Here’s hoping I get to A House at the Bottom of a Lake by Josh Malerman some time in March. We’ll see if I can make that happen.
With the summer rolling around, I think I can get to  Where the Light Enters by Sara Donati soon. It’s just a matter of how long it will take to finish once I start.

41JYZlm4QsL

Currently reading: I didn’t open The Girl with Ghost Eyes by M.H. Boroson. It was one of those weeks where I blinked and it was gone. It’s one of those weeks I’m surprised I had time to write this!
I read nothing in True History of The Kelly Gang by Peter Carey either. Our house got hit hard by a stomach bug so it was a lot of sleep, naps, and TV time on the couch. Luckily, everyone is better now so I’m optimistic about next week!
I don’t think I grabbed any time for Tabula Rasa by Ruth Downie either. We finally have spring weather and I was hoping to go for a run, but the stomach bug doesn’t lend it self well to that. Maybe next weekend?

Recently finished: I’m sure no one is surprised to have me say ‘Maybe next week’ here. I’ll stay optimistic.

51FUsCV0vdLReading next: I’ll push A House at the Bottom of a Lake by Josh Malerman another week. I’m sure this will all happen eventually, but life has pulled me in other directions right now.
At this pace, it will take me a year to finish Where the Light Enters by Sara Donati. Maybe summer sports and time out of the house will give me some more listening time.

41JYZlm4QsL

Currently reading: I didn’t really have a lot of time for The Girl with Ghost Eyes by M.H. Boroson this week. It felt like the week flew by since my partner had some big work deadlines and I had my hands full with Baby. Things should slow down a bit now so I hope to get back to this.
I made some minor progress with True History of The Kelly Gang by Peter Carey. I try to read at least two pages each night and I even finished a chapter last week!
Unfortunately, there was snow again so I got to listen to some of Tabula Rasa by Ruth Downie while shoveling. I’m really hoping that’s the end of the snow for this season! I’m getting so tired of shoveling.

Recently finished: I feel like I’ve been saying ‘Maybe next week’ for a month, but I’ll keep with that mantra for another week.

51FUsCV0vdLReading next: I’m remaining optimistic. I hope to have started A House at the Bottom of a Lake by Josh Malerman next week. Keeping my fingers crossed.
With continued optimism, maybe I’ll have started Where the Light Enters by Sara Donati, too! Wouldn’t that be something?

Kelly

Currently reading: I keep moving forward a page at a time with The Girl with Ghost Eyes by M.H. Boroson. It feels like Baby wakes up the second I open it. Maybe next week?
I’ve chipped away at True History of The Kelly Gang by Peter Carey, too. I don’t want to sacrifice sleep too much to read yet, but it does feel nice to make some forward progress.
We had more snow so I was listening to Tabula Rasa by Ruth Downie while I shoveled. I’m about 2/3 done and I’m hoping I find a time other than snow shoveling to finish it!

Recently finished: I thin I’ll finish my ebook next. We’ll see.

91tzXN8Fp0LReading next: I’m hopeful that next week I’ll have started A House at the Bottom of a Lake by Josh Malerman. It seems like it will be a quick read so I’m excited about this.
If audio goes faster than expected, Where the Light Enters by Sara Donati will be the next book I start. I’m ready for the long haul with this one!

Ghost

Currently reading: I finished a chapter in The Girl with Ghost Eyes by M.H. Boroson but nothing to brag about. I want to get back to it soon since there was a really surprising end to that chapter! Hopefully soon.
The transition to having Baby sleep in the nursery is going well! I’ve been able to read some of True History of The Kelly Gang by Peter Carey a few nights before going to sleep. It’s slow progress, but after months of nothing, it feels wonderful.
Not much with Tabula Rasa by Ruth Downie this week. There wasn’t snow to shovel and it’s too icy to run so I’m slowing down here. I’m sure I’ll find time to pick it up again, just nothing immediate.

Recently finished: Nothing again. I’m a bit up in the air what the next book I finish will be!

51FUsCV0vdLReading next: I do think I’ll need an ebook next so A House at the Bottom of a Lake by Josh Malerman seems a likely pick. It will be fun to have a thriller/horror book. It’s been a while since I enjoyed one.
Despite my intimidation, I’m determined to pick up Where the Light Enters by Sara Donati. I think I’m ready for the long-term commitment!
