First of all a quick welcome to everyone who has followed my blog over the last day or so as a result of that Twitter group chat. Hope you enjoy your stay here 🙂 I also have a writing blog where I talk about my own writing if you’re interested in checking that out.
It’s time for WWW Wednesday! This blog hop is hosted by Sam over at A World Of Words. Link up with us by commenting on Sam’s post for this week, and just answer the three questions.

What have you recently finished reading?
Suicide Club by Rachel Heng was the only thing I finished this week. I really enjoyed this! Though I did have a few quibbles about how much a world that is set at least 200 years in the future resembled our current time in a lot of ways. But it was still a good read!
I have no reviews to share because I’m a bit behind on my review writing, but there are some scheduled for the coming week!
What are you currently reading?
I am still reading Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers: Monstrosity, Patriarchy, and the Fear of Female Power by Sady Doyle, which examines depictions of women in such things as horror movies and true crime fandom. I am finding that maybe some of her claims are bit sweeping, but for the most part, I am still enjoying this.
I am still listening to Scratchman by Tom Baker and James Goss. I saw some reviews that said the pacing is strange and now I’m halfway through it, I definitely agree with that. But I still can’t go past it being narrated by Tom Baker himself.
What do you think you will read next?
I will probably return to Madeleine D’Este’s books and read Evangeline and the Spiritualist next.
What are you reading this week? 🙂

Emily, I have been reading the cosy crime-fiction Agatha Raisin and the Wellspring of Death, which has been cheering me up. Happy reading for the rest of the week! 🙂

I would be interested in your thoughts on Dead Blondes and Bad Mothers. It is certainly an interesting topic and I am sure there is a lot to say about how women are depicted in the literature. Especially in crime and horror, there are a lot of stereotypes and bad cliches.

Yeah, it is interesting, and I hadn’t thought a lot about the crime aspect before. She talks a lot about women victims in real crime events and the ways the media depicts them afterwards. I was actually feeling this morning it’s all getting a bit depressing but I’m reading on regardless.
