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 this last year 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:

Last week:

So, this week was a bit slow for me.  I was feeling a bit miserable for one reason or another.  Consequently all my reading and blogging took a bit of a back seat.  I managed to pick up and complete The Retreat by Elisabeth de Mariaffi which is a closed room murder mystery set up in a remote retreat isolated further by stormy weather.  I enjoyed it – it certainly had plenty of atmosphere.  I’ve also picked up the second book from this month’s SPFBO batch which I’m about 50% into.  All told, slow week aside, I think this month I should be able to complete all my review books and my four SPFBO books *fingers crossed*.

I’m aiming to complete Empire’s Ruin by Brian Staveley and pick up The 22 Murders of Madison May by Max Barry.  I won’t make more ambitious plans for now:
