📚Three For Tuesday: Currently Reading

Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday. Through carelessness and a bit of laziness I’ve ended up reading three books at once so I thought I’d feature them for Three For Tuesday today.

🤍 Nephthys by Rachel Louise Driscoll
🧡So Thrilled For You by Holly Bourne
💙The Favourites by Layne Fargo

I managed to leave The Favourites at my mum’s as I was showing it to her and then forgot to put it in my bag. I started reading Nephthys but left it downstairs when I went to bed and I didn’t want to get up and so I started So Thrilled For You as it was on my bedside table. So I’ve ended up reading three! I’m actually enjoying all of them so it’s hard to split my time between them.

I’m working this morning which is always fun though I’ve hurt my leg somehow so standing up might be interesting and I’m then hoping for a quiet afternoon/ evening reading.

Q: Where’s the stupidest place you’ve left a book?
A: On The roof of my car! The rubber stopped it falling off so it was still there when I got home 🤣

The Favourites by Layne Fargo

Everyone thinks Heath Rocha was my first love. He wasn’t. My first love was figure skating.

Katarina Shaw has always known she’s destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating – and each other – to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating fans with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style and rollercoaster relationship.

Until, at the Olympic Games, as the world holds its breath, a shocking incident instantly destroys their partnership.

Ten years later, an unauthorised tell-all documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha. If Kat wants to own her story, she must break her silence. As Kat’s account of her dramatic rise and fall alternates with scandalous interviews from the film, The Favourites spins into a dance between passion, ambition and what it truly means to win.

Sensational rumours have haunted Kat and Heath’s every step for years, but the truth may be even more outrageous than the headlines.

So Thrilled For You by Holly Bourne

An intense heatwave. A high-stakes baby shower. Will it all end in tears?

Nicki, Lauren, Charlotte and Steffi have been friends since university. Now in their thirties, life is pulling them in different directions – but when Charlotte organises the baby shower of hell for pregnant Nicki, the girls are reunited.

Under a sweltering hot summer day, tensions rise – and by the end of the day, nothing will ever be the same. Someone started a fire at the house – and everyone’s a suspect…

Is it Steffi, happily child-free but feeling judged by her friends? Is it Charlotte, desperate to conceive and jealous of those who have? Is it Lauren, who is finding motherhood far, far harder than she imagined? Or is it Nicki herself, who never wanted a baby shower anyway?

In the aftermath, the police put together the facts – but the truth will shock everyone. Even you.

Nephthys by Rachel Louise Driscoll

Sister. Rival. Protector.

Quiet and reserved, Clemmie is happy in the background. Although her parents may overlook her talents, her ability to read hieroglyphs makes her invaluable at the Egyptian relic parties which have made her father the toast of Victorian society.

But at one such party, the words Clemmie interprets from an unusual amulet strike fear into her heart. The beautiful and dangerous glyphs she holds in her hands will change her life forever.

Five years later, Clemmie arrives in Egypt on a mission to save what remains of her family. The childhood game she used to play about the immortal sisters, Isis and Nephthys, has taken on a devastating resonance and it is only by following Nephthys’ story that she can undo the mistakes of the past.

On her journey up the Nile she will meet unexpected allies and enemies and, along with long-buried secrets and betrayals, Clemmie will be forced to step into the light.
