I have had a stronger reading week than I have had for a while, mainly thanks to some easier type reads. Maybe that is what I need right now? But then, I did feel after a couple of fluffy reads, I needed something more challenging, so who knows!

What am I currently reading?
I have finally started to read To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf. It is my first book by this author and I am only 20 pages in. The font is small and the writing quite dense, which takes a bit of getting used to.
I am about a third into Black and British: A Forgotten History by David Olusoga. It’s a long audio book, but it is incredibly interesting.
Because To The Lighthouse is so dense, I did not really find it that great for bedtime reading, so I have picked up my third Christmas themed book of the year, which is One New York Christmas by Mandy Baggot.
Finally, I am proof reading a book my friend has written, which is about her experience with her gifted child in the existing school system. This one obviously takes priority this coming week.
What did I recently finish reading?
I finished Lab Girl, which was a good read, but not one that will stick around for very long. Apart from that I have read a couple of Christmas chick lits; Christmas at Lilac Cottage by Holly Martin wasn’t great, but I did like Carole Matthews’ Christmas for Beginners. Those reviews will come after I have read my third Christmassy novel.
What do I think I will be reading next?
I have a few books I really want to read before the end of 2020, so I will prioritise those. From my 2020 TBR there is The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly and I would love to complete another series, in which case the most likely is Jay Kristoff’s Darkdawn.

The small font and dense writing put me off of To the Lighthouse, the one time I tried to read it. I do want to eventually read it, though.
Enjoy your week, and here’s MY WWW POST
I am making slow progress – it’s definitely not a quick read! It’s getting easier now I am getting used to it… It’s less than 200 pages, so I should manage this week (famous last words!).
You’ve got a great mix in your current reads! Hope you enjoy To the Lighthouse!

I’m looking for another Christmassy book – think I’ll try Christmas for Beginners. Thank you!
I hope you enjoy!
I’ve been meaning to read The Book Of Lost Things for ages too! I’m not sure why I haven’t to be honest… I hope it will be a good one for you! Happy reading. xx
Thank you! x
I’m intrigued by your cozy Christmas reads 🙂 Happy reading! Here’s my post: https://www.nbiblioholic.com/2020/12/www-wednesday-december-9th.html
I have four chicklitty Christmas reads on the pile but saving them for lying around, working part-time (dammit) between Christmas and New Year. I love To the Lighthouse but it’s a shame if it’s a tricky text for you physically.
I am about halfway in To The Lighthouse now. It took some getting used to. The transition from my chicklit book was a little jarring! I am enjoying it much more now I got used to the writing style.
