It’s Monday, what are you reading?—a weekly blog meme hosted by Sheila at Book Journey.
Has it been almost a week already since my last “what I’m reading” post? I can’t believe it. Classes started at the university where I’m on staff and my husband was prepping for his month-long artist residency all last week (he left yesterday), so we’ve been pretty swamped. I finished up Stephen King’s The Long Walk and I meant to get a couple of review posts done… coming soon!
Our Souls at Night by Kent Haruf just came through at the library for me, so that’ll be by next read. After that, I’ll probably start City on Fire by Garth Risk Hallberg and maybe Black Mass by Dick Lehr and Gerard K. O’Neill. I’ve had Black Mass on my wish list for a long time—I love true crime non-fiction, especially in the mafia/gangsters realm—and now that I see the movie is coming out in a few weeks I figure I better finally get to it!
What are you reading this week?
my little heart melodies 
Isn’t it amazing and scary how quickly the weeks pass?
I have City on Fire waiting for me as well. I am excited to read it. I am currently reading an oldie by Stacey Ballis. It is light and fluffy but has a good message so far. It is also a great break from all of the suspense I have been reading lately.
Have a great week!
It’s a good thing to mix it up! And summer’s perfect for light and fluffy reads. 🙂 Have a good one!
Oh, I loved Our Souls at Night…it was such a quiet, smart little book. I have City on Fire coming up, too, just need to find the right time to sit down with that chunkster!
I know! I’m so squirmy about starting chunksters. And this morning I got an email from my library that two of my other holds have come in… they always do at the once, don’t they?
I guess the Bulger case and the book & movie of Black Mass seem pretty alluring. So many mysteries surrounding that. Apparently Johnny Depp is supposed to be pretty chilling in the role.
Yes! I’ve seen documentaries about Whitey Bulger, and he’s been popping back up in the news again lately. I have high hopes for Depp in the movie!
