Weekly Wrap-Up (29/6/’20) #WEEKINREADING #WeeklyWrapup
Hello Readers! I hope you all had great week. I thought I can’t read more than 80 books this year but I’m 15 books ahead of goal so I’m changing Goodreads challenge goal to 100. Last week was exhausting. My daughter slept at 3:00 am four days in a row. One day she slept at 1 and woke up at 3 am and didn’t sleep until 8 in morning. 😪 There was no WiFi for 2 days, no electricity for 1 day, it was frustrating to use slow mobile data to write post and for other things. Anyway I manage to read 2 books and 1 short story.
What I read last week-
Episodic Sleep Disorders by E.L. Haines
It was interesting story, a bit unusual and confusing at some points but suspenseful mystery and I enjoyed blend of myths and science along with mystery. Here is my Review.
Say Yes Summer by Lindsey Roth Culli
This was cute and fluffy, coming of age YA contemporary. I flew through this book,finished it within a day and loved characters and message in the book. Review will be up tomorrow.
Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust
This was fantastic. I have heard world building was great in this and I could see why. I loved this story inspired from Persian Mythology filled with mysterious and interesting characters, demons, legends, twist and turn. Review will be up later this week.
Currently reading-
Cometh the Hour (The Clifton Chronicles #6) by Jeffrey Archer
I put this aside for more than 2 weeks. Now I’m picking this again and will read those last 200 pages before June end.
Next I’ll be reading-
Dark Waters (Monica Kennedy #2) by G.R. Halliday
The haunting new novel from G. R. Halliday, author of FROM THE SHADOWS, shortlisted for THE MCILVANNEY DEBUT PRIZE
THREE MISTAKES. TWO MURDERS. ONE MORE VICTIM TO GO . . .
Annabelle loves to drive. It helps her escape her world, her past. Speeding on a mountain road in the Scottish Highlands, she sees a little girl step out in front of her. She swerves to avoid her. The next thing Annabelle remembers is waking up in a dark, damp room. A voice from the corner of the room says ‘The Doctor will see you now’.
Scott is camping in the woodlands in the Scottish Highlands – but in the middle of the night, he hears something outside his tent. When he goes out to have a look, a little girl is standing among the trees, staring right at him. Scott is never seen again.
When a dismembered body is discovered, DI Monica Kennedy gets called to the scene immediately. After six months away from the Serious Crimes team, they need her back on board.
As Monica searches for the murderer, another body is found. Monica knows the signs . . . She’s on the hunt for a serial killer.
Perfect for fans of James Oswald, Ann Cleeves and Val McDermid.
I can’t wait to see DI Monica again and how she is going to catch this new serial killer. This is tour book,my stop is on 7th next month.
Flying Solo by Zoe May
Rachel Watson has it all worked out. By 30, she’s ticked off most of the goals on her Life List. She’s a home owner, a partner at her law firm, she has a gorgeous boyfriend, lots of hobbies and loads of good friends. The only thing that’s missing is a ring on her finger.
According to her Life List, Rachel should be getting hitched around now, so when her boyfriend, Paul, plans a romantic date, Rachel’s pretty confident he’s going to propose. Except Paul has other ideas. He’s jetting off to India to find himself.
Distraught, Rachel doesn’t know what to do. Not one to easily admit defeat, she embarks on a mission to win him back.
Flying solo to India is definitely not part of Rachel’s plans, but could her trip teach her unexpected lessons about love, life and herself? Could she realise that perhaps her Life List wasn’t exactly what she wanted, after all?
This will be my third book by Zoe May and I can tell it is going to be fun. Another tour book, my stop is on 10th next month.
I hope you enjoyed this post. Let me know in comments if you have read any of these book and what are you reading this month.
Happy Reading!

How do you like doing weekly wrapups instead of monthly? Do you do enough posting that it is just simpler?
Books Teacup and Reviews
I like it so far. It’s a quick post and I enjoy writing it more than long monthly wrap posts. I’m even thinking to keep monthly wrap-ups short and add monthly hauls.

Girl, Serpent, Thorn looks interesting! I don’t see too many books based on Persian Mythology

It is great. I agree, this was my first book based on Persian Mythology.
