Hosted by Lipsy Lost and Found, my Wednesday post gives you a taste of what I’m reading this week. A similar meme is run by Taking on a World of Words.

| LAST BOOK I FINISHED READING |

A naive girl, thrust forward by her ambitious family. A pretty girl, who has captured the heart of the King. Katheryn sings, she dances, she delights in the pleasures of being queen. The King tells the world she is his rose without a thorn.

But this young woman has a past of which Henry knows nothing. It comes back increasingly to haunt her, even as she courts danger yet again. For those who gather roses must beware of the thorns.

[Not my favourite of the five books so far but enjoyable nonetheless. Review to come. At some point. If it ever gets written. 🙄]

| THE BOOK I’M CURRENTLY READING |

Una Richardson’s heart is broken after the death of her mother. Seeking a place to heal, she responds to an advertisement and steps into the rich, comforting world of Elspeth McKenzie.

But Elspeth’s home is not as safe as it seems.

Kathryn, her cold and bitter daughter, resents Una’s presence. But more disturbing is the realization that two girls had lived here before. Two girls who ended up dead.

Why won’t the McKenzies talk about them? What other secrets are locked inside this house? As the walls close in around her, Una starts to fear that she will end up just like the other girls.

[Really, really enjoying this one so far. Very intriguing, mysterious and tense. I’m hoping to finish it today.]

| WHAT I’M (PROBABLY) READING NEXT |

I have no idea. I should probably do the smart thing and read a tour book. So it probably won’t be that one because that’s just how I roll 😏.

It might be one of these.
