Today I’m participating in WWW Wednesdays, at Taking on a World of Words. Here’s how it works:
The Three Ws are:
What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next, and/or what are you eagerly awaiting?
CURRENTLY READING: Shelter in Place, by David Leavitt
“Very funny and unexpected, a material response to our times, plush as velvet.” –Rachel Cusk
“A wickedly funny and emotionally expansive novel about all the bewildering ways we seek solace from the people and things that surround us.” – Jenny Offill

BOOKS READ & REVIEWED SINCE LAST POST OF 12/29/20:

EAGERLY ANTICIPATING: I am excited about a new B.A. Paris novel: The Therapist, which will be released on July 13, 2021.
Synopsis: The multimillion-copy New York Times bestselling author B.A. Paris returns to her heartland of gripping psychological suspense in The Therapist–a powerful tale of a house that holds a shocking secret.
When Alice and Leo move into a newly renovated house in The Circle, a gated community of exclusive houses, it is everything they’ve dreamed of. But appearances can be deceptive…
As Alice is getting to know her neighbours, she discovers a devastating secret about her new home, and begins to feel a strong connection with Nina, the therapist who lived there before.
Alice becomes obsessed with trying to piece together what happened two years before. But no one wants to talk about it. Her neighbors are keeping secrets and things are not as perfect as they seem…

Thanks, Natalie, I have read several of MHC’s books over the years, but stumbling on this series in 2015 brought me to this path of choosing each new book in the series as my First Book..and I have loved them all.

I feel like every time I have completed a B. A. Paris book, she is coming out with another one. I actually wasn’t really enjoying the last one I read of hers, so I may put a pause in reading her next one, but let me know if you enjoy it, as I may reconsider.
