Happy Monday!
It's been a calm week with lots of reading, plus bowling, Bachelor in Paradise, and To All the Boys I've Loved Before, which is exactly what I needed before starting fall classes today.
WHAT I READ LAST WEEK
The Duchess Deal by Tessa Dare
A marriage-of-convenience historical romance. Very fun.
Everything Is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
So disappointing. This book has been on my TBR for years, but I did not enjoy it at all.
Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin
I expected this book to be different than it was, so it, too, was a bit disappointing. But since it's a classic that I read for a book club, I'm glad I finished it.
Hatchet by Gary Paulsen
A quick wilderness story I probably should have read years ago.
The Invisible Life of Ivan Isaenko by Scott Stambach
A Belarus-set novel similar to The Fault in Our Stars that I didn't enjoy quite as much as Green's.
The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager
An intriguing, suspenseful story full of flashbacks, secrets, and questionable characters.
Secrets of Nanreath Hall by Alix Rickloff
A dual-perspective historical novel involving scandalous romance and family secrets.
Won through Goodreads. I was not required to write a positive review, and all the opinions I have expressed are my own.

What are you reading this week?
Enjoy your new classes. I like the variety of books you read. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI’m doing Bout of Books, too! Good luck with it. I really liked Between Shades of Gray, so I hope you like it. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I loved Hatchet in 9th grade. My weekly updates
ReplyDeleteEnjoy them all.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry the Four book was so disappointing, but thank you- I had it in my TBR but am now crossing it off!
ReplyDeleteI'm ready for a psychological thriller so am going to try The Last Time I Lied.
My week is not starting off well- I'm DNFing the book I started yesterday. I'm moving onto something I hope is lighter and funnier, French Exit.
