Weekly Wrap Up : 11/02/18
Hi everyone. Such a busy week this last one. Travelling, celebrating birthdays and generally being entirely too sociable for my own good. I did very little reading for most of the week and was clearly absent from the blog but now I’m back and I’ve managed to read a couple of books and make it half way through a third. I’m disastrously behind with reviews so need to sit down and catch up. So, without further ado:
Books read:
- Paris Adrift by E.J. Swift
- Pilgrimage to Skara by Jonathan S Pembroke
Next Week’s Reads:
- Semiosis by Sue Burke
- The Toymakers by Robert Dinsdale (50% already read)
- Mister Tender’s Girl by Carter Wilson
Upcoming reviews:
- Starborn by Lucy Hounsom
- Envy of Angels by Matt Wallace
- The War of Undoing by Alex Perry (my first SPFBO book)
- The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton
- Chaos Trims My Beard by Brett Herman
- The Chrysalids by John Wyndham (Vintage Sci Fi book)
- The Gone World by Tom Sweterlitsch
- Paris Adrift by E.J. Swift
- Pilgrimage to Skara by Jonathan S Pembroke
I’d love to know what you’re reading this week.
11 February 2018
I don’t consider reading two and a half books “very little reading” so in my book you did great! I’m trying to start Semiosis soon, but I took on way too many review book this month and I’m struggling to get to everything. So I just started one of my March books, to hell with February! Lol
Yeah – I’m with you on the February books – I thought I had everything under control but clearly not! I was thinking of doing something similar because once you get behind with one book it pushes all the others out of sync too – you kind of have to make a choice to skip something and come back. I’ve got less books for March and April so hopefully I’ll catch up. Good luck with your reading.

Seems like you still had a good reading month. I’m curious about your thoughts on Paris Adrift as I have that one and also Mister Tenders Girl. Glad you feel like things are getting back on track.
The problem is if you’re reading a lot you get behind with the reviews, which is a conundrum because the whole purpose of reading is to review and spread the word! Doh. Paraid Adrift – funnily enough I’ve read two time travel books this month, one very dark, cutting edge and a bit daunting called Gone World and the Paris Adrift which is a lot lighter in tone. I’m still thinking about both of them – time travel always does that to me. But, I liked both in totally different ways.
Lynn 😀
Paris Adrift sounds intriguing, and I can’t wait to read your review to learn more! 🙂
I have so many reviews to write – I’ll have to just take some time out and get them written.

Lynn, I have also had a busy week with two parent’s evenings at work. Sadly I didn’t manage to finish any books, however I did start reading The Dragon’s Blade: The Reborn King by Michael R. Miller and I am close to finishing Christian non-fiction The Case for Grace by Lee Strobel. Happy reading!
Happy reading to you too Jessica. I look forward to your thoughts on The Dragon’s Blade.
Lynn 😀
I don’t think that two and a bit books constitutes ‘very little reading’ and I’m delighted you have been busy partying allll week. Hoping the festivities last a bit longer and that you have another great week:)
Thanks – surprisingly my reading was all at the latter end of the week – I didn’t read anything until Wednesday.
I hope next week is a bit less chaotic – although I have enjoyed my fun.
Lynn 😀
Just finished Semiosis, it was better than I expected!
Good to know – hope to start that soon.
Lynn:D
I love the cover for Mr. Tender’s Girl
It’s great isn’t it. I’m reading that one now – definitely psychological thriller so far.
Lynn 😀
Can’t wait to read your thoughts about Semiosis!
I’ve not finished that one yet – but hopefully soon.
Lynn 😀
