This Week in Books

This Week in Books is a weekly meme hosted by Lipsyy Lost and Found. In this post I look back on a book I've finished, highlight one I am currently reading, and one I will read in the near future. What are you reading these days?

THEN: I finished reading Two can Keep A Secret by Karen McManus. Unfortunately, I couldn't get into it, and it feels as though it took me FOREVER to finish. It's not a bad book, but quite slow to develop and not a stand-out read for me. You can find my review here.

NOW: Currently, I'm reading In the Morning I'll Be Gone by Adrian McKinty. It's the third book in the series and to me it seems they get better and better, largely because the protagonist is so engaging and well developed. The setting of 1980s Northern Ireland is illustrated so well, it feels almost like another character in the story.

NEXT: I'm thinking of reading The Border by Don Winslow next. I'm daunted by the length (800 pages?!) but I like this author quite a bit and have been curious about this book since he first announced he war writing it.
