Weekly Wrap Up : 03/03/19
3 March 2019 
Well, I went and tempted fate last week by saying we were having lovely weather so of course now Storm Freya has hit the country with up to 80 mph winds – I hope everyone stays safe! *Shakes fist* at temperamental weather. Last week I read two books which included one of my SPFBO finalists (the review for which will be posted tomorrow).
My books:
- Symphony of the Wind by Steven McKinnon (one of the SPFBO finalists)
- The True Queen by Zen Cho
Next week’s reads:
- The Kingdom of Copper by S. A. Chakraborty
-
Polaris Rising: A Novel by Jessie Mihalik
-
Currently reading:
- The Kingdom of Copper S. A. Chakraborty
Upcoming reviews:
- Symphony of the Wind by Steven McKinnon (one of the SPFBO finalists) (Review scheduled for Monday)
- The True Queen by Zen Cho
- The Anointed by Keith Ward
I’d love to know what you’re reading this week.
Books and travelling with Lynn 
Ha! A friend of mine has a daughter called Freya – so we keep saying “f**& off Freya!!” as another gust whistles round the house and down the chimney, and feeling bad for the adorable little girl we would normally think of when we say ‘Freya’. 😀
Yep, the wind howling round the house can be a bit scary sometimes – it didn’t actually get too bad where we are but there’s a lot of trees and so I always feel a little bit apprehensive when they seem to be thrashing about.
Lynn 😀
I love that cover of The True Queen! I’m going to be reading it this month. Stay safe in those high winds!
Thanks – the winds have been and gone now thankfully and without mishap.
I enjoyed the True Queen – the regency period and the element of manners that comes into play.
Lynn 😀
This week, I finished reading the latest, thrilling Robert Langdon adventure, Origin by Dan Brown. Yesterday, I also started reading Lives of Notorious Cooks by Brendan Connell, which – while a little unconventional – is proving to be a lighter read I can easily dip in and out of. I hope you stay safe in these winds too! I am safely tucked up at home in my pyjamas with the cat. 🙂
Tucked up in pjs sounds like a plan. We didn’t have any mishaps with the winds which was a relief.
Lynn 😀
Oh snap, I didn’t know Harris had another book out. But gah, I am way behind on the Chocolat sequence.
I hadn’t realised this was due out either – but I do so lover her writing.
Lynn 😀
I have The True Queen in my reading queue and I’m looking forward to what sounds like a different take on the genre 🙂
I enjoyed it. It’s not a straightforward sequel to the first because, although the original characters do put in appearance, the main protagonists are different this time round. I love the regency aspect to the story and how perfectly ridiculous some things come across because of the proper manners of the period.
Lynn 😀
80mph winds, holy moly!
Looking forward to your thoughts on The Kingdom of Copper!
Still reading it – about 30% in so far. Need to pick up my pace a little!
Lynn 😀
