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
You may or may not have noticed that I’ve taken a break recently. This wasn’t planned but happened as a result of travelling, seeing family and having visitors, in total, for almost a month, which meant in simple terms that I had very little free time. Over the next week I shall be travelling a little more but, I’m also hoping to ease myself back into blogging again and catching up with everything I’ve missed out on. I have been reading, although not as much as I’d like as I’ve been far too sociable. I have outstanding reviews to post for This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews, The Caretaker by Marcus Kliewer, We Burned So Bright by TJ Klune, Death’s Daugher by S.A. Barnes, All Hail Chaos by Sarah Rees Brennan and The Raven Scholan by Antonia Hodgson.
Next Week’s reads
I have three books that I’ve already lined up for next week – I don’t expect to read three books but I think I’ll see where the mood takes me. This is what I’m thinking. The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett, The Tapestry of Fate by Shannon Chakraborty or The Killer in Room 5 by Sam Holland.

Books and travelling with Lynn 
I’ve missed your posts, Lynn! But I’m glad you’re having fun doing other things. Very curious to hear your thoughts on Death’s Daughter and The Caretaker😁
Welcome back! Sounds like you’ve had a great month! Looking forward to seeing reviews for your recent reads.
Good to see you back! Socializing and traveling definitely comes first. I look forward to reading your reviews as you catch up 🙂
Its lovely to see that you’re back and I’m glad to hear that its simply been a case of being busy and nothing troublesome going on 🥰 I had noticed your absence and am very happy to see that you’ve returned.
I’m also very excited for all of those upcoming reviews. As my yearly favourite I’m especially curious to see your one for The Raven Scholar. Although I’ve heard amazing things about the other two titles (having read your other reviews already) as well.
Whichever of those three books you go for first I hope you enjoy (well I hope you enjoy them all). The first two are on my TBR, the last is new to me so I’ll watch out for your review then see if I need to add it in too.
Hope you have a lovely week. And thank you so much for all the comments you’ve left me 🥹 I truly appreciate the major catch up effort involved on your end ❤️
