I’ve really enjoyed reading Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie this month and highly recommend reading her! What are y’all reading now? Please post your WWW links below in the comments if I haven’t already visited them.
HAPPY READING!!!
Yay to HP!! I so want to re-read this!! Oooh the Trial of Lizzie Borden looks intriguing i will have to add this to my TBR list!!
So many people are reading the Harry Potter series right now. It is so much fun! I decided to try the audiobooks this time and have been enjoying them. After how fantastically intense Say Nothing was, I’m not sure I’m up for the Lizzie Borden book, but the publication date is fast approaching, and I have been looking forward to this one.
I know I have seen so many people do it! I need to persuade my little one so I can read them again it’s been years 🤦🏻♀️what’s the audiobooks like? I love audiobooks! Oh I hope
You find some mojo for it!
I was skeptical about listening to HP on audio, even though I love audiobooks as well, but I have been loving them!
Are you listening to the ones with Stephen fry narrating? I have them but not started yet. I just got stalking Jack the Ripper to listen to
No. I have a different narrator. Whatever the library app gives me lol. Stalking Jack the Ripper sounds amazing and is on my TBR. Hope you enjoy it!
Hope the narrator is still good!!! X
Yeah….not bad at all.
Yayyy to HP series 🙂

The Prisoner of Azkaban might be my favorite HP. Enjoy!
It was my favorite the last time I read the series, so I wonder if I will still feel the same. 🙂
I’m curious about Liturgy of the Ordinary…and the Lizzie Borden book. Thanks for sharing…and for visiting my blog.
The only Adichie book I have read is We Should All Be Feminists which I am sure is a long essay adapted from her TEDx talk, but I have been wanting to read more ever since so maybe Americanah is a good place to start!
I am definitely really enjoying Americanah!
Looks like some fascinating books!
I’m interested in the Lizzie Borden book – I didn’t know a huge amount about her until I read the novel See What I Have Done and it made me want to know more. I hope it’s a good read.
Here’s my post: https://rathertoofondofbooks.com/2019/02/27/this-week-in-books-27-feb-2019-what-are-you-reading-this-week/
I’m definitely looking forward to diving into this one as well!
Say Nothing looks like a really interesting book, I love mysteries! I’m totally adding it to my TBR list.
Just a heads up that Say Nothing isn’t a typical true crime. It is mostly about war and conflict. I’ll post an actual review of it later today that you should read before you decide that it is for you. I will make sure there aren’t any real spoilers in the review as well.
Oh, ok. Thanks for the heads up! I’ll read your review before I think about reading it.
Yeah. It was a surprise for me, but I ended up loving anyway.
I need to raid my son’s bookshelf and reread Harry Potter.
I am loving the rereading of this series!
I will support you on HP. I have decided to pick up the 4th book finally.
All you reads sound interesting. Waiting for a review on Say Nothing.
Here is my WWW
Yay for Harry Potter! Are you re-reading the novel or it is your first time?
This is a reread for me. Is there anyone that hasn’t read it once?! 🙂 I haven’t read them for about 10 years, so it is definitely time for a reread. I’m doing them on audiobook too, which has been really fun.
One of my blogging friends is reading the series for the first time, so you never know! I wish I could read it for the first time again!
Your ‘A focus on authors reading challenge’ look intriguing, the Rainbow Rowell month should be a lot of fun. Enjoy!
I thought I chose a good variety of authors of all genres. It is going well so far! 🙂
Hooray for HP! The Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite. 🙂 I plan to read book one with my daughter in May, so I hope she likes it enough to continue the series (although I don’t think we’ll read past Azkaban for a while since she’s only 8). Have a wonderful reading week!
I think Azkaban was my favorite last time I read the series too, so we shall see what I think ten years later. 😉 When I worked at the local library there were a lot of kids not even in the middle grades reading all the HP books. I agree with you though. It gets very dark in the later books.
I think every time that I reread them, it stays my favorite. Yes, I have students in my college Lit classes who talk about when they read HP in elementary school, but my daughter gets scared pretty easily and has anxiety disorder, so I was even very hesitant to even let her read Sorcerer’s Stone this school year, but she really, really wants to. If it scares her, then I’ll have her stop and try again in 4th grade (or later). She’s reading at an almost 7th grade level, so it’s hard to balance the books that are age appropriate, mom approved, and books that don’t bore here when she tries to read them because they’re too easy.
100% agree!
What great sounding books. I hope you enjoy them all. Happy reading.
