What Am I Reading This Week?

June 26 – July 2, 2022

 

Continuing:

The Complete Persepolis by Mariane Satrapi

Bomb Shelter: Love, Time, and Other Explosives by Mary Laura Philpott

National Velvet by Enid Bagnold – NRN – this isn’t the right time for this book.

 

Book Lovers by Emily Henry – I am enjoying this one. The banter is fun and the story isn’t what I expected, which is good. I’m on page 356 out of 373, so finishing it up soon.

 

#Mermaid Marathon – June 27 through July 10 – I have been waiting for the Mermaid Marathon all Spring and here it is. Above is my potential TBR for the two-week marathon hosted by @TheBrightSideGirl on Instagram and YouTube. There are 5 reading prompts and photo prompts for each day. I used the photo collage for Monday's TBR photo. I’m starting with Between Sea and Sky by Jaclyn Dolamore. It is about a young mermaid who becomes a Siren whose sister, also a Siren, disappears on land and she goes to look for her. It’s a short audiobook: 6 hours, 40 minutes. Pretty good so far.

 

These are the other books in my TBR – 5 audiobooks and 2 physical books:

 

A Swirl of Ocean by Melissa Sarno

Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt

Son of the Deep by K. B. Hoyle

Silent Songbird by Melanie Dickerson

Ireland’s Pirate Queen by Anne Chambers

Peter and the Starcatchers by Dave Barry & Ridley Pearson

 

YoHoHo – Happy Reading!

  FIRST LINE FRIDAYS First Line Fridays is a book meme hosted by Carrie at Reading Is My Superpower  . My pick for this week is a Middle Grade novel entitled To: Night Owl From: Dogfish by Holly Goldberg Sloan & Meg Wolitzer . It is one of the Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club Summer Reading Guide titles that is on my list to read this summer. Here's the first line (actually a little more):  From: Bett Devlin To: Avery Bloom  Subject: you don't know me  but I'm writing you anyway. This could go into your SPAM. Maybe you're the kind of person who checks the spam. I don't. I found your email address online. You have a strange name. I never met anyone named Avery. But that made it easier to find you. So thank you for having that name.  There it is. I wanted to write more, but I probably exceeded the "first line" thing too much already. I'm reading this book for Reader's Weekend and I want to start it now. It is being compared to The Parent Trap, so I

  This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub: I checked this out from my local library this week and have been reading it while I am recovering from Covid. Sorry, my librarians, you will have to quarantine this book when it comes back, but that's not until next week. I like that the chapters are short, but it took awhile to get to the time jump, but now that that has happened, it's moving along well.  The first line is: "Time did not exist in the hospital." That's it! First Line Fridays is hosted Carrie aka MeezCarrie at Reading is My Super Power. Check it out here and add your own First Line!  Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from   The Captive Reader  and Sharlene from  Real Life Reading  that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library.

  First Line Fridays - June 24, 2022  Every night, she and her best friend Wes risk their lives to steal Moonflower petals and distribute the elixir to those who need it most–but it's still not enough. This is the first line from "Defy the Night" by Brigid Kemmerer. I love what she writes. I read all of the Cursebreakers Series and I am attempting to read the rest of her backlist. This one is starting out great!  Go over to Reading is My Superpower and see all the links to the First Line Friday participants.  Happy Reading! Alleluialu
