Books read this week:
So, I missed last week’s update, things just becoming chaotic, so this week I’ll be recapping two weeks instead of one. To be honest my reading has been pretty dreadful for some reason, I’ve not been getting really absorbed and keep putting books to one side. Hopefully this improves. For example, I put The Haunting of Moscow House by Olesya Salnikova Gilmore to one side for now. I have read Gorse by Sam K Horton which I loved and already reviewed. I also completed The Ravening by Daniel Church – this one didn’t work for me unfortunately. I also just completed The Glassmaker by Tracy Chevalier which was very well executed and I’ll be reviewing soon..
Next Week’s Reads:
I’ve started reading The Wilding by Ian McDonald and I’d like to pick up one of my October reads. Either The Bog Wife by Kay Chronister or The Coven by Harper L Woods. I have a pretty busy month for October and in fact have some more SPFBO books to read passed over to me by the Critiquing Chemist.

Smile And Be A Villain has a great title! I never heard of it, but it sounds promising! And I hope your next reads will be more satisfying!!
I enjoyed it and would like to pick up the next in series at some point. Lynn 😀
I’ve been struggling a bit too, trying to find the right book to read. Hopefully we’ll both have better luck in October😁
Haha, well, October hasn’t been the best month so far – still a few days left though so you never know.

I’ve been through those phases where nothing seems to stick. Have a you ever thought of doing short write ups for your dnf books? Would like to know what’s not working and why, might help me cull my reading list maybe lol!
Yes, I think I should start maybe putting together a few shorts posts on DNFs as I seem to have had a few recently.
