Hello, friends! I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. I managed to get some reading done this week! I have Fourth Wing to thank for that. I'm hoping I can carry that momentum forward into other books this week.
Have you seen the trailer for A Haunting in Venice? The movie is based on Agatha Christie's Hallowe'en Party. I've seen mixed reviews for Hallowe'en Party over the years so I've never picked it up, but I plan on reading it next month so I can watch the movie. I'm so intrigued! Details below in the TBR section if you want to buddy read Hallowe'en Party with me.
Posted Last Week
Favorite Books of 2023 So Far - Last week I posted my favorite books of the year so far.
Book Review | Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel ⭐⭐⭐⭐★ - My thoughts on Sea of Traquility.
Finished Reading
Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros ⭐⭐⭐⭐★ - Highly addictive read. Review soon!
Currently Reading
Belladonna by Adalyn Grace - A selection from the TBR jar, and I was immediately hooked! I'm so glad I saw great reviews for this last year. On a side note - I saw the B&N exclusive paperback edition the other day and it was gorgeous. If you've been wanting to read this, pick up that edition. It has purple sprayed edges.
Looking Glass Sound by Catriona Ward - I haven't been able to sit down long enough to finish this one, but I'm OK with the long savor here!
Added to the TBR
Hallowe'en Party by Agatha Christie - As I mentioned earlier, I picked this up to read because of the A Haunting in Venice trailer. I have a buddy read set up to start August 18th on the Horror Spotlight discord server if you want to join us!

Oh, I hope you loved it!!
DeleteI am pretty sure I have Halloween party somewhere. I need to find it.
ReplyDeleteYou might would like it. It's a fun read.
DeleteI hope you like Looking Glass Sound. The synopsis sounds awesome, but I haven't loved the author's other books.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it! I wouldn't recommend it, tbh, if you don't like her other books.
DeleteI don't think we see enough adventure stories these days, so I'm glad to hear about the 2023 Wilbur Smith Adventure Writing Prize Shortlist.
ReplyDeleteI will look for A Haunting in Venice.
I need a great adventure story.
DeleteI'm getting a little reading done this week as well
