It's Monday! What Are You Reading?

Well, we're more than half-way through April, if you can believe that. I'm afraid this year is flashing by even faster than the last one flashed. Generally I get quite a lot of reading done during the late winter/early spring months, but for some reason this year I just haven't been able to get into my normal rhythm.

Since my last reading update back in January (so what happened to February and March?), I've only finished eight books, and two of those were children's books. The list:

• A Christmas Escape, by Anne Perry
• The Children's Home, by Charles Lambert
• The People in the Photo, by by Hélène Gestern
• Dreaming Spies (Mary Russell #13), by Laurie R. King
• My Name Is Lucy Barton, by Elizabeth Strout
• Daisy Miller, by Henry James
• Flora & Ulysses, by Kate DiCamillo
• Beanie and Tough Enough, by Ruth and Latrobe Carroll

At the moment, I'm finishing up Linwood Barclay's new thriller, Far From True (just published, back in March), the second book in his Promise Falls series:

And I'm still making my way through Inkheart (by Cornelia Funke), for the Once Upon a Time challenge, but hope to finish it this week.

After that, I have several possibilities -- most likely it will be one of the ARCs I really should have finished by now. Probably either The Last Painting of Sara de Vos, by Dominic Smith:

or Burying the Honeysuckle Girls, by Emily Carpenter -- a book I admit I picked up mainly because of the cover:

So. Lots of reading to do. Gotta get back on track.
