Finished Reading
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë - Wuthering Heights turned out to be more difficult than I was expecting. I think that's why I managed no reviews and no other books this past week. I haven't decided yet where my final rating is going to land.
Currently Reading
I'm enjoying House of Furies by Madeleine Roux. It's quite different than I was expecting. I think the cover change was appropriate.
Poetry Magazine July/August 2019 - I'm also really enjoying the July/August Poetry Magazine collection.
Recent Acquisitions
Many thanks to Inkshares for sending me a copy of Violet by Scott Thomas! This is his follow up to Kill Creek, and I can't wait to read it!
Choking Back the Devil by Donna Lynch - My preorder of Choking Back the Devil arrived this week. (Honestly, I can't get enough of discovering Ladies of Horror Fiction in print.)
So what about you? Let me know what you're reading this week or leave me some links!

I was just approved on NetGalley for Violet and I'm so excited! I'm so curious to read a new story by Scott, I loved Kill Creek so much😁
ReplyDeleteI remember how much you loved Kill Creek! I think Violet is going to be awesome.
DeleteSummer just means oppressive heat to me now that my daughter is grown and I no longer teach, but I understand why others may want it to slow down. I think I started Wuthering Heights in high school and it's still not finished. Good for you getting through it
ReplyDeleteThankfully I was able to read Wuthering Heights with friends. I needed the support!
DeleteIt is hard reading some of the classics. I don't care for the general story of Wuthering Heights (opinion from movies) so it's not one I'd try to tackle. Glad to hear you're enjoying your current read, though. Happy reading! :)
ReplyDeleteYep. I love so many classics, but some of them are tougher than others. Thanks, Rachel!
DeleteI didnt like Wuthering Heights much either, it was such a slog. I hope you enjoy House of Furies more.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great reading week
It was a little rough to get through. It wasn't really what I expected. Thanks!
DeleteI need to read more Madeleine! And I haven't read any classics at all 🙈 I keep saying if I do, it'd be a Jane Austen one. I've been intrigued by Wuthering Heights but haven't picked it up at all.
ReplyDeleteGenesis @ Whispering Chapters
OOooh, if you need any classics recommendations, let me know!
DeleteI love Wuthering Heights but it is a difficult one to read... Especially trying to decipher Joseph's Yorkshire dialect!
ReplyDeleteYes! I kind of just glazed over Joseph... It was tough.
DeleteLooking forward to your review of House of Furies and I'm super excited about Violet too!
ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying House of Furies so far! It's not what I expected, but it's entertaining.
DeleteJuly is flying by. I thought June went by kind of sedately and then July- whoosh! it's flying.
ReplyDeleteRight? What on earth?!
DeleteHouse of Furies has gotten quite the hype and I am curious to read your thoughts about this one!
