What I’m currently reading
Some real goodies this week! I’m listening to an Outlander novella, ‘The Space Between‘, which gives a narrative to some of the supporting characters from the Outlander series, mainly Michael Murray and Joan MacKimmie. I’ve been fortunate to get my hands on an ARC of Richard Osman’s new book, ‘The Man Who Died Twice‘ through NetGalley – whoop, whoop! And yes, it’s back with the Thursday Murder Club as their crime-solving exploits continue. I’m also reading ‘If it Bleeds‘ by Stephen King – a collection of his novellas with contemporary themes.
What I recently finished reading
I was very well-behaved last week and cleared some books off my TBR list rather than adding to it for once. I had two books on NetGalley, ‘The Hawthorne School‘ (my review is here) and ‘A Farmhouse in Tuscany‘ (my review is here). I was a bit naughty (again!) and bought ‘The Mystery of the Night Watchers‘ after seeing it in a Twitter post, and then I read ‘The Cherry Orchard‘ as I’m trying to work my way through some classic play scripts. ‘Backstories’ and ‘Six Stories’ were both recommended by other book bloggers. I wish that I had the time to properly review all of these, as they definitely deserve it, but for the moment you’ll just have to trust me that they’re all good reads.
What I’ll be reading next
I’ve got a few books on NetGalley that are approaching their archive dates, so those are going to be my priority over the next few weeks:
Have a great week of reading, everyone!

Yay for cleaning some stuff off your TBR – that’s always a challenge for me. Looks like you’ve had a lot of good reads this week too!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

I won the Osman, too, but I haven’t read the first one yet, so I had to get a cheap copy and then I need to wait for my husband to finish his current audiobook so he can read it along with me … so I’ll probably be reading the second one around its publication!
Currently reading “Music in the Hills” by D.E. Stevenson, which is charming and lovely.

Yes, I’d definitely read The Thursday Murder Club first – the second book refers back to it quite a bit.

Interesting you’d pick Chekhov. Do you like Russian literature?

I don’t dislike it. Last year, I read a few by Ibsen and Miller. Just ticking off the classics.

I’m so behind on my King books it’s embarrassing. Probably because I’m constantly trying to keep up with my NetGalley shelf.
