It's Monday and I have so many books!

This week, I finally read The Language of Flowers and then tackled Girl At War. If you tell me a book is like Anthony Marra's A Constellation of Vital Phenomena, I will be there every time.

On the blog, I wrote a post to check in after a few days of radio silence. Then I reviewed Deeanne Gist's historical fiction novel Tiffany Girl and shared my reasons for reading short story anthologies.

So what's happening this week? Well, the husband is out of town for a few days which might mean lots of reading time or not. I'm just not sure yet! I've been listening to Murder on the Orient Express during my commute and I'm loving it. Dan Stevens from Downton Abbey is a fantastic narrator and I'm really enjoying Hercule Poirot. What a character! I started reading Church of Marvels and I'm looking forward to A God In Ruins. Have you read either one?

That's all for me today, my bibliophile friends. What are you reading this week?

  1. Agatha Christie is for me a real comfort read. I turn to her books all the time when I need to relax!

    1. This is only my second, but I intend to read many more. I can certainly understand them being comfort reads!

  2. I'm super, super curious about Church of Marvels - I love that cover and have heard great things!

    1. I liked it but didn't love it. It might be a misunderstanding on my part though, since I was looking for more circus life and it was only tangentially about that.

  3. Although I love mysteries, I still haven't read a single Agatha Christie. Where should I start?

    1. I've only read two so far, but I might start with And Then There Were None if you are just looking to read one book and get a feel for her writing.
