Finished reading Lure of the Wyrm. Started Close to the Edge. Could finish this week.
Emily of New Moon, by Lucy Maud Montgomery
I ordered this book weeks and weeks ago and it finally came on Saturday. I’ve only read the first few chapters but I’m very excited for it!
Finished:
For my lady’s heart by Laura Kinsale.
Very good romance. I had some problems with the ending; I think it ended very quickly. A 4/5.
About love and other stories by Anton Chekhov.
Good collection of short stories; it was the first time I’ve read a Russian author, so the humor passed a bit for me but was fun nonetheless. 3.5/5
The gem collector by P.G. Wodehouse.
It was a novella, so the whole conflict was fixed so quickly. I will read the novel version that was made called A Gentleman in Leisure, but for now. A 3/5
Started:
Carrie by Stephen King. First SK book, can’t wait to see how it will go.
Finished: Children Like Us, Normal People
