Whatcha Reading? May 2023, Part One

Hey, everyone! It’s time for Whatcha Reading!
We’ve reached May and the allergies are in full swing. Hopefully we’re all staying cool inside with a good book and keeping away from pesky pollen.
Claudia : I’ve just finished Return to Satterthwaite Court by Mimi Matthews ( A | BN | K ) and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Low angst, with a bit of a mystery thrown in. The MCs are children of two couples in previous Matthews’ books.
Elyse : I just bought The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic Culture . ( A | BN | K ) I will report back on what I think.
Lara : Please do! That sounds fascinating!
A | BN | K I’m reading Only Good Enemies by Jennifer Estep . I loved book 1 in the series which of course makes me super nervous for book 2. I’m reading it while peeking between my fingers.
Shana : I just finished The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches , ( A | BN | K | AB ) which I loved for its coziness. I’m now reading The Roommate Risk by Talia Hibbert . It’s a reissuing of her book Wanna Bet , and I keep finding myself thinking “Oh no, not another sex scene.” Who am I?
Sarah : I’m reading The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies , and oh my goodness, Lara was right. It’s delightful so far.
A | BN | K Kiki : It’s been a real weird and wacky time in my brain the last couple months so obviously I’ve listen to 12 Mary Balogh audiobooks since early March.
I don’t totally know how to explain why this course of events makes perfect sense to me but it does. I’m beginning to slow down, mostly because of loan limits on hoopla (loan limits are the bane of my existence), but it’s for the best because I do, eventually, need to read other things.
Susan : I’ve just finished The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw – I think Amanda was looking forward to it too? The rhythm and imagery of it are gorgeous.
So, whatcha reading? Let us know!
