What I Just Finished Reading
Grave Expectations by Alice Bell. This was a random choice because it sounded good. And it was. It's about a woman who sees ghosts and solves murder mysteries, although it doesn't go as well as it does in the true crime podcasts she likes. There is a sequel to this, which the library does not have and is not yet cheap enough on Kobo.
Help Me! by Marianne Power. Another random choice. I thought I'd like it and I did so much that I read it in two days. It's non-fiction: the author decides to improve her life by reading and following twelve self-help books in a year. It starts off reasonably, then goes to the woo-woo books and completely off the rails.
What I'm Currently Reading
Moab is my Washpot by Stephen Fry. A random charity shop fine, it's the autobiography of the first 20 years of his life. He's very wordy: He spends about four pages talking about how much he loves music and how much he wishes he could sing, for example. It's a long book and a bit hard going, but now I'm more than halfway through I'm
determined to finish.
What I'm Reading Next
A Load of Old Balls by James Harkin and Anna Ptaszynski. I just went on Kobo to double check a book's title and found this was only £1.99. I've been wanting to read it since the hardback came out (under a different title). It's two of the QI Elves talking about sport, so it should be interesting.
