Ayesha Last night I finished ‘Salvación’ by Sandra Proudman, an ARC I’d received from NetGalley. I’m sorry to report but this was not a hit read for me. You may be asking, “Why’d you request it then Ayesha?” Well, I was pulled in by the description that this was a YA, female version of Zorro.…

Julia I have just come back from a short trip to Cartagena, Colombia! I didn’t get to do too much reading whilst there since it was an event packed wedding weekend, but I definitely got some reading in during the 13 hour flight (and that’s just one way, mind you)! For the trip, I bought…

Ayesha I just finished “Louie On The Rocks” by Meredith O’Brien as part of the Booksparks Winter Reading Challenge. It’s a political story and I live in DC so it was a no-brainer to read. Synopsis: Set against a backdrop of bitterly partisan Facebook feuds and a Trump flag set aflame in a driveway, “Louie…

Ayesha I recently finished the highly anticipated “Onyx Storm” and must admit that it was not a top read. The unfortunate bit – I’ve fallen into a bit of a vibe slump. So rather than picking up another fantasy read to quench my need for an immersive and strong fantasy world, I’ve decided to read…

Julia I am particularly pleased to report that my reading slump has been lifted! This would be thanks to the latest fantasy book (series?!) I have decided to fall into: ‘The Colour of Magic’, which is part of Terry Pratchett’s infamous 41 book Discworld series. I only recently heard about Terry Pratchett and Discworld on…

Ayesha Last night, I finished “Phantasma” and I have to admit that it was a bit of a let down. I was initially pulled in because of synopsis describing a unique world – set in New Orleans with the backdrop of paranormal beings is a great combination. The premise of a high-stakes game, Phantasma, was…

Julia I’ve started the New Year with a ski holiday in the French Alps with my family, and the journey to the mountains started with a 6 hour train ride — needless to say, I got some reading in! On the train, I decided to continue with ‘Love of Fat Men’, a short story collection…
-
Ayesha I just finished “The Little Sparrow Murders” by Seishi Yokomizo and I can’t wait to read more mysteries by this author! I’m no stranger to Japanese translated reads but this may be the first murder mystery. I bought this over the summer in England and I was pulled in by the cover while pursuing…

Julia Having posted a continuous string of ‘Currently Readings’ over the past number of weeks now, it might seem like I’m an extremely productive reader, that I read books cover to cover every week, that I am a book reading machine! Mais hélas, dear reader, if I let you think that, it would simply be…

Ayesha Last night I started “Dancers of the Dawn” by Zulekhá Afzal and I read almost 100 pages in one sitting. Safe to say that I could’ve kept reading but I realized that I needed to pause for the night. I love staying up to finish a read but we really needed to focus on…
