It’s the first Wednesday of the month, so it’s time for WWW Wednesday, an idea I borrowed from David Chazan, The Chocolate Lady, who borrowed it from someone else. For this feature, I report
- What I am reading now
- What I just finished reading
- What I intend to read next
This is something you can participate in, too, if you want, by leaving comments about what you’ve been reading or plan to read.
What I am reading now
I am reading What Happened to Nina? by Dervla McTiernan. It’s a departure from the other books I’ve read by her, because it’s set in Vermont, U. S., instead of Ireland. It’s billed as a thriller, although so far (I’m two-thirds of the way through), it’s not showing any evidence of that. It’s more of a psychological novel about what happens when a young woman goes missing.
What I just finished reading
My last book was one I read for Literary Wives, review coming up December 1. It’s The Soul of Kindness by Elizabeth Taylor. It’s more of a community novel, like Middlemarch, even though it has a main character. It’s about the effect of a woman’s actions on the people around her.
What I will read next
I just got this book out of the library, so I’ll probably read it next. It’s Jane Austen in 41 Objects, yes, nonfiction by Kathryn Sutherland. I read about it on another blog, and it sounded fascinating. I would say it is right in time for Nonfiction November, except that I probably won’t be posting my review until January or February.
How about you? What have you been or are reading?
What? Me Read? 
That’s a nice variety of reads! I finished The Forester’s Daughter by Claire Keegan. I haven’t started anything yet but am planning to get going on my other novella for the month and probably start Heartless by Marissa Meyer in a couple of days. 🙂
I haven’t read that one by Keegan yet.
that Jane Austen book sounds really interesting, I can’t wait to read your review when it comes up. I get so caught up in reading books by my favourite authors, I rarely read about the authors themselves. That might be a goal for next year
We’ll see how it goes. I finished the Intro, which was rather scholarly, but I don’t think the rest of the book is going to be that way.
You’ve made me realise that Dervla McTiernan has dropped off my radar. I read a couple of books by her a few years ago and seem to remember enjoying them, but I haven’t followed up on her. Must check!
This one is so different that I had to look at what I read by her to make sure I was thinking of the same author. I was!
I like the sound of The Soul of Kindness, I haven’t made a start on Elizabeth Taylor but she’s always on my must read list; look forward to your review!
Thanks!
