It was a very rough week last week ending with my 20 year old cat passing away. I didn't get much reading done - just Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie.
Books Read Last Week
Currently Reading
I need help with my Goodreads challenge. I only need 5 more books, but with everything I have going on right now, I'm going to really have to push through. I think I got the Agatha Christie idea from a random twitter thread, and it was a great help. If you have any recommendations for short books that will grab my attention I would really appreciate it! I'll probably hit up the library for a graphic novel or two.
What about you? What are you reading this week? Be sure to let me know in the comments or leave me a link!
This post is being shared as part of Book Date's It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
I think I'm 5 books behind on my GR challenge as well:-/ I'm reading Congress of Secrets by Stephanie Burgis right now, but reading is not going very well as I'm so distracted by Christmas preparations!
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot to be done this time of year!
DeleteSo sorry to hear about your cat. Losses like that are so hard, especially at this time of year. I'm starting a new book tonight but it's between 3 so I don't know what one I will pick!
ReplyDeleteIt's truly the worst time. :( I guess there's no good time, though, is there?
DeleteSorry to hear about your cat, I know they become family and it is always a sad time. Mm some graphic novels sound good, or what about some picture books!!
ReplyDeleteMy husband suggested picture books, too. :) I don't count anything smaller than a novella, though. Sometimes I will add and rate things I read with the kids, but I don't include them in the challenge.
DeleteOh no- sorry to hear about your cat! :(:(:(
ReplyDeleteI should read or listen to Orient Express at some point- or Death on the Nile. I have trouble getting into Christie.
Did you read Rolling in the Deep by Mira Grant? It's a novella so that might help. Killer mermaids lol. And the Alex and Ada graphic novels are good. Saga is supposed to be as well.
Thanks. I really love Christie's writing. I haven't read many, though. OH YEAH! I totally wanted to read Rolling in the Deep after your review. Those mockumentary things really piss me off. LOL. Saga! I think that's the one I was trying to remember at the library this week. THANKS!!
DeleteI am sorry to hear about your cat, it's rough to lose our furbabies. I hope you are doing okay.

Thanks, Mogsy. I'm off of work for the holidays and she's noticeably missing, but I'm OK. It was her time; I just miss her a lot.
DeleteAw, I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. That's seriously the worst!
ReplyDeleteSeriously. :'( Thanks, Becky.
DeleteAww... Jennifer, I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. :( Hope you're doing okay.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to short books I read this year..The Thief of Always by Clive Barker was excellent. Adulthood Is a Myth by Sarah Andersen is a hilarious graphic novel. Also, Texts from Jane Eyre. Hope you find a way to meet your goal! :)
Thanks, Bonnie. I'm OK. Heartbroken, but OK. Ooh, The Thief of Always. That might be great. I got a few graphic novels from the library. I will have to mark Adulthood is a Myth for next year. :D Texts? from Jane Eyre? I feel like I should know what that is! (*off to Goodreads*) Thanks!
