A Readers Musings and Reviews
It’s WWW Wednesday!
WWWWednesdays meme, formerly hosted by MizB at A Daily Rhythm, has been revived and is now hosted by Taking on a World of Words.
What are you currently reading?
After being invited to be part of the thrilling publication day promotion for the debut book The Chase by Ava Glass. I will be sharing my thoughts on this book soon.
What did you recently finish reading?
When The Evil Waits by M J Lee was the last book I read. I will share my thoughts on it soon.
What do you think you’ll read next?
Reading Ireland month, or The Begorrathon as it is affectionately known, returns for the seventh year between Wednesday 1 and Friday 31 March 2023. So I will be reading a book or two for this challenge. You can find out all about it from the host Cathy on 746books.
I’ll be a part of a tour from Renard Books – Crossing Over by Ann Morgan – my post will be on 16 April.
Book blurb
Edie finds the world around her increasingly difficult to comprehend. Words are no longer at her beck and call, old friends won’t mind their own business and workmen have appeared in the neighbouring fields, preparing to obliterate the landscape she has known all her life. Rattling around in an old farmhouse on the cliffs, she’s beginning to run out of excuses to stop do-gooders interfering when one day she finds an uninvited guest in the barn and is thrown back into the past. Jonah has finally made it to England – where everything, he’s been told, will be better. But the journey was fraught with danger, and many of his fellow travellers didn’t make it. Sights firmly set on London, but unsure which way to turn, he is unprepared for what happens when he breaks into Edie’s barn. Haunted by the prospect of being locked away and unable to trust anyone else, the elderly woman stubbornly battling dementia and the traumatised illegal immigrant find solace in an unlikely companionship that helps them make sense of their worlds even as they struggle to understand each other. Crossing Over is a delicately spun tale that celebrates compassion and considers the transcendent language of humanity.
BlogTour in April (my spot is 19th) for THE ACAPULCO by Simone Buchholz (translated by Rachel Ward) from Random Things Tours and publishers Orenda Books.
I’m also looking forward to reading Skin Deep by Antonia Lassa translated by Dr Jacky Collins published by Corylus Books for my spot on the BlogTour. I’ll be posting on 1st May for this.
This meme is a great way to keep my reading organised and share a regular weekly post with you. I hope that you enjoy it too. Do share your thoughts on this post and the books featured above by leaving a comment below. It’s always good to read what you think.
Looking for thoughtful discussions about books and beverages? Well, you've come to the right place.
