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:

I’ve been playing catch up this week which I think is going quite well in spite of having a bad cold.  In terms of reviews I’ve managed to squeeze in quite a few – well, in fairness I scheduled one of my regular posts on the wrong day by accident so I made use of that and posted an extra review and I also posted a double review – two mini reviews in fact.   My reading has gone very well this week.  I read and absolutely loved The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett.  My review will be posted very soon.  I’ve also read and already reviewed An Education In Malice by ST Gibson – it didn’t quite work for me unfortunately but I confess it’s a beautifully written story and incredibly atmospheric. I’ve also read two of my SPFBO finalists – so I’m very much on track in that regard – only four more finalists left to read now.  I need to start thinking about a posting schedule soon.  I’ve also started listening to an audio book – Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros.  So, that’s a lot of reading – but, this was probably assisted by the fact I wasn’t feeling well so not socialising as much or gardening, etc, – more time sitting around under a den of blankets with a hot drink and my kindle.

Next Week’s Reads:

Hopefully complete Fourth Wing.  I’ve also made a start on Empire of the Damned by Jay Kristoff.  This is a sample and not the full book but given what a chunkster this book is it will be good to get a head start on things.  Once I complete EotD my review books for February are all complete so I might then try one of my backlist books if time allows.
