Happy Wednesday, everyone! I hope you’re doing well!
This week I’ll be focusing on a lot of ARCs from my April TBR. My NetGalley ratio is a bit lower than I want it to be and I also want to be sure I have my reviews up ASAP, so I’m primarily reading those books first! There are lots of exciting ones I’m looking forward to reading and I can’t wait to get into those stories. In the meantime, here’s what I’ve been reading!
Currently Reading:
The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Silmarillion is a posthumously-published collection of stories and legends that far predate the events of The Hobbit.
I did take a brief pause on this book, but I plan on returning to it soon! This is definitely a book I want to take my time with, so I may end up reading a chapter or two a day.
The Ones We’re Meant to Find by Joan He
The Ones We’re Meant to Find follows Cee, who awoke on an abandones island three years ago with nothing but but a rickety house, an old android, and a single memory of her sister who she needs to find. Meanwhile, STEM prodigy Kasey wants to escape from the eco-city, Earth’s last unpolluted city, which was originally only meant for those committed to protecting the planet. She has to decide if she’s ready to use science to humanity, even though it’s already failed the people that mattered the most.
Thank you to Fierce Reads for the e-ARC! I’ve been highly anticipating this book and so far, so good! I’m looking forward to learning more about the world and hearing more of the sisters’ stories.
Recently Read:
A Dead Djinn in Cairo by P. Djèlí Clark
A Dead Djinn in Cairo follows Special Investigator Fatma el-Sha’arawi in 1912 Egypt. What starts out for her as an odd suicide case becomes a journey through the city’s ghouls, assassins, clockwork angels, and a plot that could unravel time.
I’m definitely very excited to continue reading Clark’s books! This shorter story was heavily focused on the worldbuilding and that’s got me very excited for what’s to come. I am happy I decided to read these before picking up A Master of Djinn (even though I have yet to read it!).
This is for Tonight by Jessica Patrick
This is for Tonight follows Andi Kennedy, who’s trying to grow her YouTube channel so she can pay for college. Her goal is to head to the Cabazon Valley Music and Arts Festival to film an interview with a famous band. But she finds herself competing for the spot with Jay Bankar, the annoying host of a popular prank channel. But as their competition grows, Andi finds a growing connection to him where she’ll have to decide what’s more important.
Thank you to Fierce Reads for the review copy! This was overall a really fast, fun read. While the middle was a bit slower, I enjoyed reading this one and following Andi’s story at the music festival. Definitely a good summer read!
Up Next:
The Haunting of Tram Car 015 by P. Djèlí Clark
The Haunting of Tram Car 015 is the second book in Clark’s stories of an alternate Cairo. It follows Senior Agent Hamed al-Nasr and his new partner Agent Onsi as they investigate a dangerous and possessed tram car. But what starts as a simple exorcism becomes more dangerous as the inner demon is revealed.
After reading A Dead Djinn in Cairo, I especially look forward to reading this book. I want to revisit this world and I love the incorporation of the mystery into it as a whole.

So many tempting books! I am eyeing The Ones We’re Meant to Find. Enjoy! Here’s MY WWW POST
It comes out soon! I hope you enjoy it if you do decide to read it.
Glad to hear that you are enjoying the Cairo books. I nominated the first 2 books for my book club, but they were not picked. I will be reading them anyway I think. Have a great week of reading! My WWW: https://greatmorrisonmigration.wordpress.com/2021/04/07/www-wednesdays-april-7-2021/
I hope you enjoy them! They’re really big on worldbuilding despite their shorter length, which I love.
I’ve heard good things about The Ones We Were Meant to Find. Glad you’re enjoying it!
Thank you! I can’t wait to keep reading tonight 🙂
I’m working on my pending ARCs right now as well as they have been piling up… The Haunting Of Tram Car 015 sounds fascinating!
There are so many great new releases coming out that it’s hard to keep up! I’m especially looking forward to that one 🙂
Happy reading 🙂
Thank you! Happy reading!
