Last Week I Read:The Note by Alafair Burke
I ended up DNFing this one. It’s about 3 women who have been publicly “cancelled” who play a prank on a couple that stole their parking spot in the Hamptons and then the male half of the couple goes missing. I got pretty sick of all of the author’s references to Covid and the shutdown and the main character’s reason for being cancelled is because she yelled at people on the subway platform for not wearing face masks then overreacted when an African American male said something to her and told him she was calling the police before having a screaming meltdown (the FMC is Chinese American). It was like let’s throw all this hot button soup onto the page and call it a book. The missing guy was almost an after thought and I DNF’d just under 50%.
Bourbon and Proof by Victoria Wilder
This one on the other hand I finished early last week and it gave me a book hangover that I’m just getting over. I need more books with the vibes of this series and can’t wait for the spin-off series!
Currently Reading:The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gilig
I’m about 25% into this audiobook. I don’t love it as much as the author’s previous duology but I can see it having the same loathe to love vibes. I do love the gargoyle though!
Silvercloak by L.K. Stevens
Reading two fantasy books at the same time.. oh my! That’s unusual for my but I was hooked from the first page of this one and I’m enjoying it so far.
Reading Next:A Witch’s Guide to Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna
I feel like I’ve been waiting so long for this one to release and then to make it to the top of the Libby audiobook hold list for my library. I’m hoping to start it later this week.
What are you reading and loving this week? Have you read any of these?
