Sunday Summary - May 19th to 25th, 2019

Welcome to my Sunday Summary.  A look back on my bookish adventures for the past week.

May is a busy month here. Soccer two nights a week, swimming lessons once a week, Mother's Day, and no less than four family birthdays, all but one of which are celebrated twice. Whew! Getting my reviews written and posted has been a challenge to say the least. As such this week's summary will be very short and sweet.

Books Reviewed:

I only managed to post one review this week.

Brother, by David Chariandy. This book was short-listed for this year's CBC Canada Reads competition.  You can see my thoughts on this CanLit title in THIS POST

Ramblings and Miscellany:

May 22 was Sherlock Holmes Day. Read more about that HERE

On May 25th we went on social media to give a nod to Douglas Adams on Towel Day. Fans of HHGTTG will understand.

“There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.” ― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe #TowelDay #DouglasAdams #HHGTTG #Booknerdigans

Currently Reading and Notable Titles on Deck:

I have a few reviews pending - Ask Again, Yes, by Mary Beth Keane - which I will be dropping today or tomorrow, My Sister The Serial Killer, by Oyinkan Braithwaite and The Suspect, by Fiona Barton.

I am currently reading Sorcery of Thorns, by Margaret Rogerson. I am in-between audiobooks and have not yet chosen my next title. 

Next up will be The Philosophy Of Ruin, by Nicholas Mancusi. 

I don't know if it is as unseasonably cold everywhere else as it is here, but I hope a proper spring will arrive soon!

Happy Reading, 

Christine
