Authors I love, books, stats, The pile, week in books

The Week in Books: March 21 – March 27

Another Covid-y week although I have now tested negative a couple of times. The early part of the week was spent sleeping on the sofa while the Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice played in the background, the later part catching up on all the stuff I’d missed. All without leaving the house! I’ve shifted the Paustovsky off the reading list for a while – reading about beautiful cities in Ukraine is not something my brain can cope with at the moment. But I will come back to it at some point.

No books bought. Clearly Covid is affecting my ability to buy books., i’m sure the to-read shelf is thanking me?!

Bonus photo: honestly I really struggled for a photo for today, because i haven’t been anywhere and no one needs to see my covid tests again. Anyway, here’s Mr Darcy and mr Bingley as seen from my sofa.

An * next to a book title indicates that it came from NetGalley. ** indicates it was an advance copy from a source other than NetGalley
