Hi everyone. I haven’t read as much as I’d hoped over the past week, but at least enough so that I have some things to share for a reading wrap-up. As usual, I’m joining It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (#IMWAYR).
What I’m Currently Reading
I tried to switch from Goodreads to Storygraph so that I could have an exclusive Did-Not-Finish shelf, but discovered most books aren’t on there in the proper editions. This caused me to switch back and that in turn meant, in my mind, that I had to work through the endless pile of books that I started reading months or even years ago and never finished. As a result, I picked up My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga. Thankfully, I’m relatively able to remember a storyline even from a long time ago.
What I Recently Finished Reading
I finished two of the books I mentioned I was reading last week. The first is Where’s My Mummy? by Maggie Hartley, which was a million times better still than I expected. I usually give foster care memoirs five-star ratings for lack of half stars, but this one definitely deserved it. The second was Sapphire’s Special Power, the second book in the Unicorn University chapter book series by Daisy Sunshine. This had an unexpected twist, which I liked too.
What I Think I’ll Read Next
I’ve seriously been scrolling through Bookshare and seen dozens of interesting-looking books. Ah, so many books, so little time… I badly still want to read the rest of the Unicorn University series, but, being that I’m in my mid-thirties and don’t have any kids myself, I also badly need to get into adult lit, honestly. Not actual literary fiction – I’ll pass that on to my Mom -, but I can’t read mostly chapter books and the occasional YA novel forever. Or maybe that’s just me.
Anyway, when in the middle of this post, I decided to buy Once Taken by Blake Pierce, the second book in the Riley Paige mystery series, off Apple Books. I loved the first book, but since there are literally seventeen books in this series, I wasn’t sure I wanted to continue with it. I just started reading this book now. Oh wait, that’s another book to add to my Currently-Reading shelf on Goodreads. Ah, who cares?
What have you been reading?
A Multitude of Musings 
It sounds like you are really enjoying reading at the moment despite you thinking you haven’t read much.
If you want to read the Unicorn books read them, age doesn’t matter! I am not a big reader but my youngest will go back and read books meant for a younger age just because they are enjoyable and are easy to read. x

I’m trying to finish no going home, by toni maguire. I keep picking it up and reading a chapter or two and then putting it down again, hence why it has taken me so long to finish it.
I will read maggie hartleys new book next, I think!

Oh, I haven’t read any Toni Maguire books yet. Maggie’s book, like I said, is really good.

I am reading, ‘TroubleMaker’ by Leah Remini.
I don’t see anything wrong with reading YA Fiction. If you like it, read it. I love rereading some of my old books, Like, Little Women, The Lion, The Witch, The Wardrobe Narnia Series,etc…
