This week I did way more reading than I thought I was going to, it was a nice surprise after last week. I read some Harry Potter, non-fiction, and a thriller. In addition, I started reading a modern classic. I sadly did not keep track of my pages read and such, but I plan on doing better with it. Fingers crossed.
A Noise Downstairs by Linwood Barclay
Overall, I ended up enjoying this book a lot more than I intended mainly because of the ending. It took me really by surprise. I will say the rest of the book was average for me, I can’t really pinpoint as to why, but the ending twist really elevated it.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling
My reread of the Harry Potter series continues! I read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and once again I loved it. I really enjoy remembering all the little differences between the books and movies and meeting some of my favorite characters in the series for the first time.
Small Fry by Lisa Brennan-Jobs
This non-fiction was the last book I read for nonfiction November. It is written by the daughter of Steve Jobs and I have to say I enjoyed it more than I obviously thought. I liked how honest and critical she was of her father, but also not unfair. Sometimes when someone passes rose colored glasses come on. Lisa really told her story wonderfully and I was happy to read it.
I just started reading A Meeting by the River, which I have had for some time and I am really excited about finally getting to it. I really enjoy his writing and I have not read one of his works in a while.
I was really excited to get this book in the mail this week. I am reading along side some awesome individuals and it has been one I have been seeing a lot lately. Mainly it being compared to The Secret History by Donna Tartt. I am curious to see if that holds true or not.

Congrats on getting so much reading done last week! I’ve heard so many good things about If We Were Villains, and I’m definitely looking forward to hearing your thoughts on that one.

I was putting it off for a long time, the last time I read them was in 2015.

“Enjoyed it more than I intended” Nice description 😛 I really enjoyed a noise downstairs. I did think there could have been one less plot twist at the end. It was a bit much but I still loved how I never knew exactly what the next revelation was going to be.

Lol, when I started it I was unsure of how it was going to go as far as me liking it. But, the end was twist after twist. I am still trying to process it all.
