CURRENTLY READING | 020


Last week I managed to wrap up reading two books - Behind Closed Doors + The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying - as well as make a good dent in my February reread.

The Time Traveler's Wife (my February reread) was my primary book last week and whilst I do still have a bookmark in that title, it isn't my main read for this week. Somehow February seems to have flown by and I have yet to start the book pick for the twitter book club I take part in (#BookClub140), and so with the chat looming my attention this week is focused on that. Our February pick is A Boy Made of Blocks by Keith Stuart - I'm really happy about this as the book of the month is often picked through a poll, and I voted for this title.

    I enjoyed Behind Closed Doors...but the book on tidying up sounds too scary for me. LOL. I don't like getting rid of everything I enjoy.

    Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

      Haha! Whilst I won't be implementing the Konmari method in my life, it was very motivational. It definitely doesn't require you to get rid of everything you enjoy though!

      Have a great week!

    Oh my goodness, Boy Made of Blocks, just the blurb made me a little teary. I am such weepy weeperton these days. Lol. It sounds amazing though!

      Others in the book club have commented on it being a tear jerker!

    A boy Made of Blocks looks and sounds very interesting, heart tugging I see the cover says. Hope you love it.

    Looks interesting! I've heard of The Time Traveler's Wife and that it was good but I haven't tried it. Same with Behind Closed Doors.

    Hope A Boy Made of Blocks is good!

      I'd recommend both of those titles.

      Thank you - have a great week!

    I bet The Time Traveler's Wife would be a great re-read. What did you think of her other books?

      I've only read this title, and also Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger. I had a pretty average reading experience with Her Fearful Symmetry - I enjoyed the plot, however it didn't have that spark that The Time Traveler's Wife did for me.
