It's Monday! What Are You Reading? #5

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Book Date. The idea is to share what you've read lately, what you're currently reading, and what you plan to read next. I love seeing what other people are reading and then adding to my never-ending TBR, so I thought this would be a fun meme to participate in each week!

What I Read Last Week:

   

The Last of August by Brittany Cavallaro
This is the sequel to A Study in Charlotte, one of my favourite books of 2016. I loved seeing Charlotte and Jamie again and following along with their latest adventures. My review for this one will be up on the blog next week.
Dirty London by Kelley York

This book was just okay for me. I liked that it dealt with coming out and I loved the emphasis on family, but it was missing that special something that made me love it.

What I’m Currently Reading:

 

Let it Shine by Alyssa Cole

I realized recently that I've read WAY too few books written by women of colour, and I'm actively trying to change that. I kept seeing Let it Shine, and after an author friend of mine recommended it last week, I finally bought it. It's set during the 60s Civil Rights Movement, and since February is Black History Month I thought this would be the perfect book to read right now. 

What I Plan to Read Next:

 

How Not to Fall in Love by Deirdre Riordan Hall

This is the sequel to Love, Hate, and Other Lies We Told, which came out last month. I'll have a review for both books, plus a guest post from the author in the next week or two.

Love and Shenanigans by Zara Keane

I'm planning to do another Irish Week around St Patrick's Day like I did last year, and I have a few books I want to read either set in Ireland and/or written by Irish authors, including this one. If you have any recommendations for books set in Ireland or written by Irish authors, please let me know!
