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 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:
This week has been busy but I’m happy to say that I’ve read two books and also managed to start my SPFBO book and also the first few chapters of my buddy read – which is the second book in the First Law series by Joe Abercrombie – Before They are Hanged. Mayri from the Bookforager and I had a fantastic time reading The Blade Itself and so I was very excited to start this one and so far it doesn’t disappoint. I shall be reading more again tonight so that we can start our discussions. I completed The Great Witch of Brittany by Louisa Morgan which I loved and so will definitely be back tracking to read some of her other books. I already have a copy of The Witch’s Kind so might dive straight in with that one – any thoughts? I also went off plan a little and read The Haunting of Las Lagrimas by WM Cleese. This is a gothic style story with a remote haunted house, a cruel history and a cursed family.
Books read this week:
Next Week’s Reads:
I’m going to pick up Echo by Thomas Olde Heuvelt (I couldn’t resist this one after loving Hex) and I’m also hoping to make a start on This Charming Man by CK McDonnell which is the second book in the Stranger Times series. I had a fantastic time reading the first book and can’t wait to pick this one up.
- A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross
- The Great Witch of Brittany by Louisa Morgan
Outstanding reviews:
The Haunting of Las Lagrimas by WM Cleese
I think you will love The Witch’s Kind. It’s very different from Brittany and there is a dog in the story😁 Hope you have a good week!
Can’t wait to give it a go.

It looks like this man may not be as charming as he seems, lol. Looking forward to it. enjoy!
I’ve finished that one and really enjoyed it.
Lynn 😀
Probably no surprise that I’m looking forward to your thoughts on The Haunting of Las Lagrimas, it sounds like one for my reading list 🙂
I think you would probably like it too. It does have a little bit of bloat here and there but overall I really enjoyed it.
Lynn 😀
This reminded me that I need to start the First Law series myself! Happy reading, Lynn! 🙂
Oh yes – I’m loving it.
Lynn 😀
Great to hear you have been enjoying your reading, Lynn – Two very atmospheric looking books. Take care and happy reading this week. 😃
You too 😀
