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:

This week has been a good reading week.  Possibly because the books I picked up worked so well for me.  I completed Good Bad Girl by Alice Feeney which I loved.  I then read Thornhedge by T Kingfisher which was a lovely fairytale which gives an alternative view to the story of Sleeping Beauty – again, it was very good, I love her style and she has a fantastic imagination.  Finally, I picked up a book by a favourite author, Alice Hoffman’s The Invisible Hour.  What a beautiful and emotional read.  Very unusual with her trademark inclusion of magic and family dynamics.  I have also picked up another of my SPFBO books. I’m getting close to finishing my batch and I just want to press on but at the same time feel I should perhaps give an update at least.  Perhaps Monday I’ll do a ‘what’s what’ type of post just to keep everyone in the loop.  Of course, with all this reading, the blogging and reviewing has dipped a little but I was so keen to push on with my review books.

Next Week’s Reads:

I’m hoping to press on with my SPFBO reads, it would be good if I could complete them by the end of August, then I have plenty of time to think about posts, cuts, reviews and potential semi finalists.  In review books I’m really looking forward to picking up Delicate Condition by Danielle Valentine – for which I’ve seen glowing reviews so far – and Herc by Phoenicia Rogerson.
