What I’m Reading Now (1/18/21)

what I'm reading now

 

Happy MLK Day, everyone!

I didn’t have much ability to focus on reading last week…lots of unexpected chaos going on in my non-bookish life. But, it is not a reflection on the books. I’m reading really good books right now!

Podcast

There was no new podcast this week.

Coming on Wednesday: Behind-the-Scenes of Judging the Aspen Words Prize with Sara Hildreth of @fictionmatters (January 20).

I finished reading…

 

Black Buck by Mateo Askaripour (January 5, 2021)
I reviewed this one in my January Books to Read (and Skip) post…and (unpopular opinion) it was hit and miss for me.

Share Your Stuff. I’ll Go First by Laura Tremaine (February 2, 2021)
This part memoir / part workbook from the host of the 10 Things to Tell You Podcast was a wonderful surprise. It forced me to stop and reflect, which is not something I normally take the time to do. I’ll be talking more about this one in February!

Bad Muslim Discount

 

The Bad Muslim Discount by Syed Masood (February 2, 2021)
I’m about 25% through this debut novel about two immigrant families that become intertwined told with irreverent humor. I love Masood’s voice and sense of humor and have high hopes so far.

The Divines

 

The Divines by Ellie Eaton (January 19, 2021)
DNF at 21%
This novel about a scandal at an all-girls British boarding school is right in my wheelhouse and it was fine, but I have a lot of February releases to get to and “fine” isn’t cutting it right now.

Upcoming reading plans…

Landslide

 

Landslide by Susan Conley (February 2, 2021)
Susie from Novel Visits just rated this novel about a mother caring for her two teenage sons 5 stars and said it gave her a book hangover.

  2. I hope things on the personal front calm down for you this week. I am glad though you are reading some great books. The Divine and the Bad Muslim Discount both sound good! I hope you are enjoying them. Have a great week, Sarah!
