It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (42)
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?’ is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It’s a great post to organise yourself. This meme started with J Kaye’s Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.
Happy Monday! I hope you guys are doing well and had a cheerful week.
Last Week I read—
Tied to Deceit by Neena H. Brar
Reviewed- The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
and finished 80% of Barnabas Tew and the Case of the Nine Worlds by Columbkill Noonan which I’ll finish by the end of the day.
Currently Reading-
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
When orphaned Mary Lennox comes to live at her uncle’s great house on the Yorkshire Moors, she finds it full of secrets. The mansion has nearly one hundred rooms, and her uncle keeps himself locked up. And at night, she hears the sound of cryingdown one of the long corridors.
The gardens surrounding the large property are Mary’s only escape. Then, Mary discovers a secret garden, surrounded by walls and locked with a missing key. One day, with the help of two unexpected companions, she discovers a way in. Is everything in the garden dead, or can Mary bring it back to life?
I just started reading this book and I already like the writing.
Next this Week—
Begone the Raggedy Witches (The Wild Magic Trilogy #1) by Celine Kiernan
When witches kidnap her dad, Mup is swept up in a wild tide of magic that carries her to another world. Can she reunite her family and find her way back?
On the night that Aunty dies, the raggedy witches come for Mup’s family. Pale, cold, and relentless, the witches will do anything for the tyrannical queen who has outlawed most magic and enforces her laws with terror and cruelty — and who happens to be Mup’s grandmother. When witches carry off her dad, Mup and her mam leave the mundane world to rescue him. But everything is odd in the strange, glittering Witches Borough, even Mam. Even Mup herself. In a world of rhyming crows, talking cats, and golden forests, it’s all Mup can do to keep her wits about her. And even if she can save her dad, Mup’s not sure if anything will ever be the same again. First in a new trilogy by Irish author Celine Kiernan, this tale of family and forbidden magic charts a fresh path through the landscape of beloved fantasy tradition — and promises to bewitch any reader in search of stories to love.
I wanted a middle grade book, it’s been ages I read any witch book and this looked interesting. And That Cover! It’s so beautiful. I instantly requested this book and was recently approved for this title on NetGalley.

I read “The Secret Garden” in elementary school and then re-read it last year. I enjoyed it but I couldn’t sit and read it for hours ha-ha. I hope you enjoy it!

Thank you, Jenna! I have a bit difficulty with Yorkshire writing, I don’t know how to read and speak that but I guess I will get used to it. I so need audible for that.
