WWW Wednesday is hosted by Sam @ Taking on a World of Words! It’s fun and easy to participate all you have to do is answer the following 3 questions.

 

What are you currently reading?

I am still currently reading The Pursuit of Pearls by Jane Thynne and I am on page 195 of 485. I have to say it is slow going and not quite the page-turner I was expecting. My current audiobook is The Truth According To Us by Annie Barrows I just started this while on my way to work and can’t really tell you my opinion so far.

What did you recently finish reading?

I finished reading A Wrinkle in Time on the weekend and it was a nice easy read. I found the concept of a wrinkle in time interesting but it won’t be a favourite. I felt it was missing something. I finished listening to Fast Food Genocide: How Processed Food is Killing Us And What We Can Do About It by Joel Fuhrman, M.D. I am a health nut so I found this to be a great read. It is terrible what corporations can get away with and it does feel like they are killing us slowly for greed.

Top Ten Tuesday// Books That Take Place in Another Country

by Bookish Matters10 Comments on Top Ten Tuesday// Books That Take Place in Another Country

Happy Tuesday Everyone!

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

Today’s prompt is books that take place in another country. I love reading books set in other countries. It is always fascinating to read about a different culture and learn something new. I have selected a few of my favourite books that are set in another country that isn’t Canada. I have also chosen a few books that I haven’t read yet but plan on reading soon. Continue reading “Top Ten Tuesday// Books That Take Place in Another Country” →

What are you currently reading?

I have a few books on the go that I recently started and therefore don’t have many thoughts to share. A Wrinkle in Time is a book I could read in one sitting but have been reading it slowly while on lunch. The Murray family is interesting and have been enjoying the read. I am about 100 pages into The Prusuit of Pearls and have also been enjoying it. Just started the audiobook for The Eight last night and I WWW Wednesday

What did you recently finish reading?

I finished listening to Her Evey Fear by Peter Swanson and really enjoyed this creepy psychological thriller. Refuge by Dina Nayeri was an enlightening read about life as an Iranian refugee. I liked reading about the complex relationship between Nilo and her father. WWW Wednesday

Unboxing// Quarterly Literary Box

Hello There,

I am back with another quarterly unboxing, for those of you unfamiliar with the quarterly company, they offer book subscription services that arrive quarterly. They offer two types of boxes, young adult and literary fiction, I went with the literary box.

What’s so special about this book box subscription?

Well, friends I am happy to tell you. 🙂 The thing that sets this box apart from all the other lovely book subscriptions is this one is curated by the author. And not only that but the featured author annotates their book. Also, you will receive three books, yes booklovers, you read that correctly three books! One is annotated by the author and the other two are books that impacted the author in one way or another. If that isn’t enough to convince you, you also receive a bookmark and a bookish goodie. I’ve convinced you now haven’t I!? 🙂 Here’s a link for you to go and grab yourself a box now. I will be waiting for you when you get back. (not an affiliate link) Continue reading “Unboxing// Quarterly Literary Box” →
