Another week starts with a new Monday! Last week I spent reading of course, gardening and quilting. I spent a day with a friend as well. We had two days of rain which was much needed for the garden. My viewing has increased as I am still watching Suits and now The Crown has started up, and I like watching The Block Australia as well. As well I want to watch Lessons in Chemistry on Apple so my evenings are blocked out!
What I read last week:
I really enjoyed Iron Flame and tried to read slowly and spin out the 600+ pages but alas it came to an end. I really like many of the characters and the challenges they face. I don’t like the violence but in reading I think I can keep my imagination low key, but if it were a movie or TV series I couldn’t watch it. After Iron Flame I need a day or two before I can pick up another book, always happens after a book I really enjoyed. I’ve seen some criticism of the book online but if I feel I have my money’s worth I am happy.
What I am reading now:
Something straight forward that was already on my Kindle.
I am listening to…
Up next:
I don’t really know what I might read next. But perhaps this one from an Australian author.

I cannot wait to read Iron Flame! I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Fourth Wing and I read it mostly based off your recommendation so I think Iron Flame is coming up soon. The Jane Porter looks interesting and that’s a new to me author. I hope you are having a great week!

Glad to hear you enjoyed Iron Flame so much! I’ve heard such great things about the series. I’m not usually a big fan of fantasy, so I’m not sure I’d like it, but with all the rave reviews, I am tempted to try it.
Hope you enjoy your books again this week and get over your book hangover 🙂

I’ve read several Lyn Byrski but not Bad Behaviour – think I’ll have to remedy that next year. Looking forward to your review
Take care

I hope you love Bad Behaviour, Kathryn, and that you are enjoying your current reads. We were forecast heavy rain with thunderstorms this afternoon but all we’ve had so far is a few showers. The heavy rain and wind over the weekend have wrecked my roses, but my vege garden appreciated the rain. Have a great week. 💕📚
