Because it's been raining so much, I got a lot of reading done last week, and finished
The Nest by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, 5 starsDeath at Breakfast by Beth Gutcheon, 5 stars
The Boy in the Earth by Fuminori Nakamura, 4 stars
I am usually generous with ratings!
New books:
"... a story of four women trying to rebuild more than their lives..."
I also have the audio version of The Zookeeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman, thanks to my library. The historical novel is set in Warsaw during WWII, and I'd like to read/listen to it before I see the movie!
The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan I liked but was disappointed when the plot started to include the magical and the ghostly, not genres that I normally read. The novel will appeal, however, to those who like an intriguing plot that incorporates the supernatural.
What are you reading this week?

I am really looking forward to the Karen White book. One Good Thing looks like my kind of read. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI think both The Night The Lights Went Out and The Breakdown look great!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about The Breakdown. Someone brought up The Zookeeper's Wife at my last book club meeting but it didn't get picked. I'd still like to read it.
ReplyDeleteNice looking assortment of books. I'm generous with my ratings too. I give most books 5 stars. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm adding the Boy in the Earth to my wishlist. It's Monday, What Are you reading?
ReplyDeleteI also got The Breakdown...yippee! I want The Night the Lights Went Out and One Good Thing. I was intrigued by The Keeper of Lost Things...but when I realized there were those ghostly elements, I decided to pass. For now, anyway.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
I like audio for when I am working around the house and for when I am walking.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely LOVED The Night The Lights Went Out...ENJOY!!
I received One Good Thing too.
I hope The Breakdown isn't as tense as Behind Closed Doors.
ENJOY all of your books and your week.

I love when books I've had on my TBR list get made into movies, because it encourages me to read them! I read The Martian right before it came out, and I think I'm about to pick up American Gods. Zookeeper's Wife should go on my list now too!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the Karen White book. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your reads!
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to have 5 star reviews. I'm generous with ratings too - tending in 4.25 to 4.75. I do reserve 5s for extra special titles. I love audios. Hope you have a great week and Happy Reading!
