Today I’m posting my Weekly Wrap Up and I’m linking up to The Sunday Post over at Kimberly’s Caffeinated Reviewer. Without further ado:
Weekly Update
The weather is horrible, it seems to rain 80% of the time at the moment which makes everything very dreary, and it’s so cold. I feel like this is the worst winter I’ve had for about 5 or 6 years. Still, it is what it is. In other news, I’ve had quite a good week in terms of reading and blogging. This week I posted a TTT which was all about anticipated books in 2026, I’ve posted a couple of reviews Rings of Fate and The Last Death of the Year and also took part in my first Spell the Month in Books post *reminder to self to go link up! I’ve also managed to read The Wolf and the Crown of Blood by Elizabeth May and Fiend by Alma Katsu. I’ll be posting reviews for both next week along with my review (hopefully) for Outlaw Planet by MR Carey. Later today I’ll be making a start on Enchanting the Fae Queen by Stephanie Burgis which I’m really looking forward to.
Next Week’s reads
Next week I’m hoping to complete Enchanting the Fae Queen by Stephanie Burgis which will mean I’ve completed my January books and can make a start on February, and also fit in a Backlist book. I decided to generate a random number list for the books that I’ve chosen to read and the first book picked out was number 6. So, Traitor in the Ice by KJ Maitland will be my first Backlist Book. My first February review book is Nightshade and Oak by Molly O’Neill – I might have to pick this up directly after finishing the Fae Queen book – I don’t think I can wait any longer.

I’m sorry about the awful weather. I’d be happy if I never saw rain again! I’m finishing Enchanting the Fae Queen today and loving it. Really curious to see what you thought of Fiend too.
