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:
So, fortunately I’m over my cold, although I still feel a bit tired – or perhaps that’s an excuse just to sit and read. My reading has again gone well this week. I picked up and completed my sampler of Empire of the Damned by Jay Kristoff which I will review shortly. I also read one of my backlist books which was a gothic story about a governess hired to work in a remote mansion where very few staff are employed and the local village seem to dislike and distrust the tenants. The Secrets of Hartwood Hall by by Katie Lumsden. I completed the audio book of Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros and finally I picked up a very curious book called The Storm Beneath the World – more about that title very soon. I realise this probably looks like a lot of books but to be fair I was already reading two of these before the new week began.
Next Week’s Reads:
I’m thinking next week I might try and complete another backlist book that I have already started, Crucible of Chaos by Sebastien de Castell and also make a start on one of my March review books, The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden.

I am glad that you are feeling better!! And I really hope you would enjoy Crucible of Chaos!!
I finished it fairly recently. It was good – certainly didn’t see that ending coming.

I just finished The Warm Hands of Ghosts and loved it. I have to sort through my feelings today and try to write a review, lol. Have a good week!
Yes, I’m sorting through my feelings for it right now.
Not sure I can do the book justice but I’ll try.

I’m curious about Katherine Arden’s new book as I enjoyed the Winternight trilogy so much. This one sounds very different but I’d like to read it.
It is very different indeed but its really good.

The new Jay Kristoff book recently landed on my doorstep so I am looking forward to starting that!
Hope you enjoy it.
