I’m trying to get back into the habit of doing a round-up of the week just completed and also take a look at my plans for the forthcoming week. I rather got out of the habit of doing so but I would like to reinstate this type of post as I feel it keeps me on track. So, I’m linking up to The Sunday Post over at Kimberly’s Caffeinated Reviewer. Without further ado:
Books read this week:
What a nuisance week. In reading terms all has been good, but, my laptop is playing up. Basically, some of the keys are sticking, in particular the spacebar, so when I’m typing reviews or trying to comment on other posts, or reply to comments, therearenospacesinanentiresentenceorparagraph (which is intensely annoying and means everything takes so much longer. To be fair, my laptop is old. I think I’m going to have to buy a new one. Deep joy. Anyway, my reading. I completed Two SIdes To Every Murder by Danielle Valentine which I really enjoyed, maybe not quite as much as Delicate Condition but I definitely had fun. I picked up and tore through The Daughters’ War by Christopher Buehlman. I had high expectations for this and these were surpassed. I loved it. I’ve also completed The Cautious Traveller’s Guide to the Wastelands by Sarah Brooks, which was good, but at the same time quite slow in terms of pacing. I’ve read 25% of two of my SPFBO books and started my third.
Next Week’s Reads:I have one more review book to complete in June. I’d like to check out all five of the SPFBO books in my first batch, and, in an ideal world I should also to read a backlist book.

Last week you got me to read We Used To Live Here and now you’ve convinced me to hurry up and read The Daughters’ War😁
Yes, hurry and read it – then we can compare notes.

I’ve got The Daughter’s War and the Curious Traveller’s Guide to look forward to.
I have not even looked at the SPFBO books this year. Are there any standout ones that have caught your eye?
I hope you love them both.
I have a few in my SPFBO selection that definitely appeal to me and a few that I know nothing about and am hoping to be pleasantly surprised by.

Oof sorry to hear about your space bar that is so annoying! Sounds like you had some good reads this week, I’m inteterested in the Daughter’s War and The Cautious Traveller’s Guide…
Yep, there’s always something with this laptop atm. But, I think the sticky spacebar is the most frustrating.
Lynn 😀
That’s relatable, it’s frustrating when things don’t work smoothly. I’ve lately been experiencing moments on the wordpress reader where my ‘r’ and ‘l’ sometimes don’t work 😂
I’m soooo glad you loved the Daughters’ War! I’m planning to pick up the audiobook when it’s out 😀
It was so good. I can’t wait to see what you think.
Lynn 😀
Looking forward to your reviews this week as I’m curious about most of the books you’ve mentioned, especially Curious Traveller’s Guide. 😀
Still catching up but finally making progress. No thanks to this laptop.
