Today is a hard day. Rather than bore you with endless details of the reasons though, I thought I’d distract myself by doing a reading wrap-up. It’s been forever since I last did one, because in September I hardly read anything at all and in October, I didn’t feel like writing about it much. Let me share what I’ve been reading lately. As usual, I’m linking up with #IMWAYR.
Life Update
I’m struggling. Today, like I mentioned yesterday, is the anniversary of my suicidal crisis. Of course, it’s been thirteen years already, but I still struggle with it. I’m trying to turn things around and be grateful I’m alive and in a place where I am allowed to feel safe. That’s hard though.
What I’m Currently Reading
Like I’ve said a couple of times over the past few weeks, I signed up to receive eBook deals through Bookbub. The first book I downloaded for free thanks to it is Killer Cupcakes by Leighann Dobbs. It’s the first in the Lexy Baker cozy mystery series. So far, I’m loving it! I’ve never read cozy mysteries before, but this one is really good. I can see myself reading more in the series, although they can be read as standalones too.
I also finally picked up My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga. Today, for predictable reasons, I’m not interested in this one though.
Lastly, I’m reading a Dutch book called Dagboek van een verloskundige by Marlies Koers. It chronicles the life of an obstetrician.
What I Recently Finished Reading
Nothing in the past week. The last book I finished was Let Me Go by Casey Watson two weeks ago. See my review.
What I Think I’ll Be Reading Next
I seriously have no idea. I haven’t added many books to my shelves or my TBR pile recently. I do have a couple of books I was reading some time ago that I may want to pick up again.
What have you recently read?
A Multitude of Musings 
I am reading less and less literature and more and more things from the browser. Last week, I restarted The Underground Railroad, because it is so long since I last read any. It won some major prize for fiction, I forget which one.

Oh yes, I understand about reading less literature and more stuff on the Internet. I’ve never heard of that book.

I just looked it up – it won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2017. I remember my purchase was based on seeing it had won this, and thinking it should be good. It is okay, but obviously not one of those books you feel unable to put down!

I just read Elevation by Stephen King and I’m currently reading The Space Between the Stars; both books I didn’t think I’d like but I really did!

Oh, that’s wonderful! It’s so good when we think we won’t like a book but it ends up surprising us.
