Weekly Update
Hey everyone. Hope you’re all doing well. I’m starting to tentatively ease back into blogging and I’ve started to catch up with reviews although I still have a few to post. My reading is good though and I’m enjoying the books I’m picking up very much. This week I have been busy with lots of going out and socialising – it’s that time of year – so slightly less reading than normal but I read The Austen Christmas Murders by Jessica Bull, I’m enjoying this series of books very much and this was a very intriguing read. I’ve also started Too Old For This by Samantha Downing which I’m really enjoying – oddly enough as it’s about a retired serial killer – the dark humour is very good (thanks Tammy).
Next Week’s reads
I’d like to finish reading Too Old for This and then my next read will be The Blackfire Blade by James Logan. I’ll also be posting on Monday about my ‘Countdown to Christmas’ which I will be once again hosting if you care to join in – there’s a list of prompts and no rules!

I can’t believe I still haven’t read Too Old For This, maybe I can catch up next month. The Blackfire Blade is my next book too😁
Tammy, I could have sworn that I got this title from your blog! Actually, I think it might have been The Bibliosanctum! Doh. Anyway, I’m enjoying it so far and the Blackfire Blade is next up – we shall have to compare notes. Sounds like we’ll be picking it up about the same time.
Lyn 😀
Too Old For This sounds interesting!! And I am curious to know what you will think of The Blackfire Blade!!
I’m liking Too Old for This – darkly humourous. And I can’t wait to read The Blackfire Blade.
