in which I share my planned reading for the week ahead
I really didn’t think I was going to finish We’ll Be the Last Ones to Let You Down by Rachael Hanel last week, but late Friday night I read the last sentence, closed the book, and immediately fell asleep. First thing Saturday morning, I grabbed
The Last Runaway
By Tracy Chevalier
OK, so I grabbed it immediately, but then I had a busy day and didn’t really get to it until Sunday. I honestly thought this was a slow read, until I realized I was on page 65 after a few stolen moments here and there to read it. I’m really enjoying this book, and I love having a book sort of sneak up on me like that.
What are you reading this week?

Sometimes a book can do that, slowly draw you in, and it is great when that happens.
Have a great reading week & kind regards,

Bettina- I like that I know it’s building slowly to something, and that continues to draw me in. I hope you have a great reading week as well!

I’ve heard of both books but haven’t read them. Perhaps The Last Runaway will pick up momentum as you read further. I am reading suspense books this week. Enjoy reading!

Rita- It’s picking up a little momentum, but I kind of like the slow pace. I also don’t know much of anything about Quakers, so I’m learning alot as I read! I hope you enjoy your suspenseful week. It sounds like the opposite of my week!

Those sneaky-good books are the best! I’m wrapping up The Crimson Petal and the White and starting Neil Gaiman’s latest…The Ocean at the End of the Lane.

I know. It’s especially nice when I just want to chill a little!
I know I should read *something* by Neil Gaiman, but I’ve yet to do it. I hope you enjoy his new one! Have a great week.
