It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

Most weeks pass by in the blink of an eye and I barely manage to finish reading my planned book for the week.... This week was an exception. Not only did I manage to finish the book I started the week with - Before The Storm - but I also got in a novella too - The Snow Sister - and have started my illustrated edition of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. It's great that I managed to read more than normal, but what's even greater is the fact that all the books proved to be wonderful reads!

 

I'm finding myself to be in between a lot of books at the moment. I don't know if it's the time of year, or just me becoming more of a mood reader, but I'm at varying points in a couple of books at the moment and pick and choose which to get lost in depending on how I'm feeling on a given day. I used to hate reading like that, not knowing how others were able to do such a thing, and sticking very much to the one book reading from start to finish before moving on to a new one. Oh how things change over time.

 

Despite being in between various books, I do still have a main book that I try to complete by the end of the week. This week that book is by a new to me author but one who has been on my list to explore for quite some time now - Katherine Webb. I have three of her books on my unread shelf currently and have started with The Legacy, which I believe to be the first of her published works but correct me if I'm wrong on that. I'm currently about 50 or so pages in to the book and it definitely feels like the kind of book you can swept up in.

 

When they were children, Erica Calcott and her sister, Beth, spent their summer holidays at Storton Manor. Now, following the death of their grandmother, they have returned to the grand, imposing house in Wiltshire, England. Unable to stem the tide of childhood memories that arise as she sorts through her grandmother’s belongings, Erica thinks back to the summer her cousin Henry vanished mysteriously from the estate, an event that tore their family to pieces. It is time, she believes, to lay the past to rest, bring her sister some peace, and finally solve the mystery of her cousin’s disappearance.

But sifting through remnants of a bygone time is bringing a secret family history to light—one that stretches back over a century, to a beautiful society heiress in Oklahoma, a haunting, savage land across the ocean. And as past and present converge, Erica and Beth must come to terms with two shocking acts of betrayal . . . and the heartbreaking legacy they left behind.
