My Week in Books

On What Cathy Read Next last week

Tuesday – This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic was Books On My Winter 2024/25 To-Read List.

Wednesday – As always WWW Wednesday is a weekly opportunity to share what I’ve just read, what I’m currently reading and what I plan to read next… and to take a peek at what others are reading. 

Thursday – I shared my review of The War Widow by Tara Moss

Saturday – I shared my review of Orbital by Samantha Harvey.

Start A Religion, Stay Out of JailStart a Religion, Stay Out of Jail and Other Absurd Tales by Logan J Medland (ecopy courtesy of Raw Earth Ink)

Pets: do they secretly hate us? Could starting a religion allow one to live one’s entire life as a tax write-off and are the cost-to-benefit ratios worth it? What if the donut shop around the corner stays open all through the sleepless nights and its only patrons were every person you’ve ever known? Could this indeed be heaven? What happens when the delivery driver falls in love with one of his customers? Is there redemption for the students who planned and executed their teacher’s demise, just to get out of doing their homework? Would you survive the apocalypse if you built the world’s most well-planned bomb shelter? Is simply surviving enough, or would you need trustworthy companionship as well? Is cheese the most perfect food?

Find out answers to these questions and so much more…

  1. I’ve only just discovered Robert Harris (I know, where the heck have I been?) and devoured Conclave a few days ago, so I’m very much looking forward to your thoughts on The Second Sleep.

      1. Not yet. I wanted to read the book first but I am a huge Tucci fan so I’m keeping an eye on the streaming sites and DVD release. Good to know it’s worth waiting for!
