Booking Ahead/Weekly Wrap Up

Sunday Post

Books read this week:

This week my reading and blogging has been slow – but this is because we have a visitor and will also have another visitor next week so time seems to simply fly.  I’m still listening to Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry – I’m going to go against popular opinion with this one and say I’ve not fully bought into this one yet.  There’s still time though so who knows.  I finished Swordheart by T Kingfisher and absolutely loved it, so I now have two series that I’m desperate to continue with – both by Kingfisher.  I am now reading A Far Better Thing by HG Parry – and I’m loving it.  I’ve literally read over 30% in one sitting so I think I’ll make good progress with this one.

Next Week’s Reads:

Hoping to complete A Far Better Thing by HG Parry, I’m also confident that I can fit Paved With Good Intentions by Peter McLean in, and time allowing I’ll be listening to some more of Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry.

    Glad you loved Swordheart! I knew I should have picked up A Far Better Thing – It sounded so good but I didn’t want to get bogged down with books in June because July was going to be so busy.

      Yeah, I totally get it. I’ve missed out on a few books recently that sounded so good for the same reasons.

    Swordheart has such a lovely cover, it’s so detailed.

    I’ll be interested in what you make of Shield of Sparrows in the end as I’ve seem nothing but positive comments so far.

      I loved Swordheart and can’t wait to read more.

      Shield of Sparrows I’m liking but not loving it. It’s inducing a few eye rolls.

    I renjoyed Shield of Sparrows but there were totally elements in it that annoyed me which I wouldn’t be surprised if they annoyed others as well. Curious to hear what’s working for you but also what’s not.

      To be honest the main female character annoys me a little. I haven’t quite put my finger on anything yet and perhaps in a different mood I would love this but to me it feels like she whines a lot. And, I think I’m also not really loving the Guardian. He always turns up, lounging casually against a tree or something and I just think hmpf. It must be a mood thing.

    Curious to see how you end up with Shield of Sparrows. And I haven’t been able to get to A Far Better Thing so I must squeeze it in soon. Enjoy your visitors😁
