Friday reading 5/31

Final Friday of May! What have you been reading this week?

QOTW: What’s something good that happened this week?

[Vespasia]

I finished Paladin's Grace, which was fantastic. I'm just annoyed that the wait time for the next book is so long at my library.

I also read The Princess of Las Vegas by by Chris Bohjalian. The main character (a Princess Diana impersonator) and her family drama were interesting but all of the stuff about crypto gangsters kind of ruined the book. 

Now I am working on The Last Murder at the End of the World but haven't made enough progress to really have an opinion. 


QOTW: Trump's conviction has been the highlight of my week!

I’ve started and given up on a few things in the past few days, but I just started James by Percival Everett and it seems very good. I teach Huck Finn (my least favorite of the books I teach) so looking at it from this perspective is fascinating.

QOTW: It has been a really good week (even before trump’s conviction!) — end of school, some great accomplishments by my teen, looking forward to summer plans. And in ridiculously small pleasures, I found a hoodie at Costco that I’m obsessed with.

Two Dead Wives by Adele Parks (I didn’t realize this was a sequel?)

One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware (fun)

Truth Truth Lie by Claire McGowan (fun)

Leave the Grave Green by Deborah Crombie (ok)

Knife River by Justine Champine (good)

QOTW: I found a Pink Princess Philodendron at Lidl

I'm still working my way through The Likeness.

Qotw: We had little to no breakage or damage from our move and are mostly settled in.

Finished A Song of Silver and Gold and Chlorine. Both were fine.

Started reading What is Love which is a rom-com about two contestants on a Jeopardy like show.

Started listening to Practice Makes Perfect, which takes place in the same universe as When in Rome, with Noah's sister as the MC and seems to be trying to follow a Funny Face plot line.

QOTW: What’s something good that happened this week? got a lot of relaxing and reading time in on Memorial Day.
