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 had a good week. Although, our young dog Noodle managed to find (or make) a break in our perimeter fence and break free for a morning. Her cunning plan for a bit of fun was thwarted when she realised that she couldn’t get back in the same way she’d left so she eventually called on the neighbours who kept her entertained until we got home. Naughty Noodles. In reading I managed to complete two backlist books, the Secrets of Hartwood Hall by Katie Lumsden and Crucible of Chaos by Sebastien de Castell. I’ve started the audio book of Gods of The Wyrdwood by RJ Barker – still early days but I’m being pulled into this strange world. And, I completed The Warm Hands of Ghosts by Katherine Arden which I loved. I’ve also started another review book which I think I’ll probably finish today with luck – The Classified Dossier – Sherlock Holmes and Dorian Gray by Christian Klavier.
Complete The Classified Dossier – Sherlock Holmes and Dorian Gray by Christian Klavier. Then I’m hoping to read another of my review books, Oracle by Thomas Olde Heuvelt. I won’t make further plans than that.

Oh Noodle! I’m paranoid about out dog getting out because it’s very dangerous where I live for loose dogs: crazy drivers on the nearby highway, mountain lions and coyotes (and bobcats). It sounds like your dog simply had a nice little adventure😁
Haha, yes. She’s very nosey and likes to watch people going past and that has progressed to sticking her head through the hedges into making a bigger hole and breaking through. I’m not sure how good her road sense is tbh, fortunately it’s very quiet round here.
Lions and coyotes and bobcats – oh my word – you definitely don’t want badger getting out then.
Lynn 😀
Started Oracle last night! I’m on a horror kick!
Ahh, I wonder how you’re getting on – Its early days for me – about 10% in.
