Recent Updates and Currently Reading | May 21

Hello, my dear reader friends! I hope you are having an excellent weekend. This update is going to cover two weeks, but honestly - I don't have much to report! Last weekend was my birthday/mother's day weekend so I didn't have a chance to get online to post updates.

Things have been so stressful at work - we are restructuring yet again and probably not for the last time - so I just haven't had enough mental power to read when I get home.

This morning my son woke up super sick so I've been with him in the emergency room. I'm getting this update out late - but I didn't want another week to go by! But that's where I am and how things are going. I'm hoping to spend some time later today reading blogs and reviews and posting some of my own! We were supposed to go watch Guardians 3 today, but life had other plans as it often does.

Infinity Gate by M.R. Carey At the End of Every Day by Arianna Rieche

Infinitey Gate by M.R. Carey - I'm still very much enjoying this one.

At the End of Every Day by Arianna Rieche - I needed an escape! I was in the mood for a book like Piranesi - a world I could get lost in, and I thought this might fit the bill. So far - I'm a happy reader! It's weird which is just what I wanted.


Added to the TBR


The Ferryman by Justin Cronin At the End of Every Day by Arianna Rieche

The Ferryman by Justin Cronin - I forgot to mention in my last update post that my pre-order of The Ferryman arrived. I don't have any immediate plans to read it, but I'm looking forward to getting to it eventually.

At the End of Every Day by Arianna Rieche - Just after posting my Wednesday wishlist post, this book arrived in the mail! So thank you very much to Atria for sending me a copy! It releases in July, but I've already picked it up.

  6. I have the ARC of the Ferryman and should have already read it, but I'm running behind! I sure understand life getting in the way of blogging sometimes - I've dropped several of my usual meme participations cuz I just can't keep up right now. Sigh. Hope you have a terrific week.
