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
Another week slips by. We’ve had lovely weather, a bit windy but that has helped to keep the temperatures to a nice level, and I’ve been in the garden almost every day cutting things back and tidying. It’s starting to come together although I can be a bit of a headless chicken – starting things, moving on, going back, honestly I need to chill. On the home front we’ve been watching Widow’s Bay and loving it – we may have accidentally binge watched every available episode so now it’s a waiting game! On the reading front, I read and really enjoyed The Unicorn Hunters by Katherine Arden and I’m currently reading The Children by Melissa Albert – I find her books so easy to read that I practically inhale them. I’ve not really done a lot of blog hopping this week but I’ll catch up again this forthcoming week hopefully in between getting ready for a family visit and I still need to create a post for the Summer of Horror being hosted by Books, Bones and Buffy.
Next Week’s reads
Complete The Children by Melissa Albert which has got off to a great start. Then I’m thinking to start either Two Little Liars by Michelle Harrison or The Summer Fun Massacre by Craig DiLouie. So many good books to look forward to.

Books and travelling with Lynn 
Gardening is hard work but it can be so satisfying. I can’t wait to hear what you think of The Children. Your upcoming books look so good. I have the same “problem”, it’s been almost impossible to choose what to read next😁
So far I’m really enjoying The Children. It’s delightfully ominous.
I really like Widow’s Bay too! I think I’m an episode or too behind (I ended up obsessed with another show and I’m likely going to binge straight through that one before getting back to WB). I’m hoping to read both Unicorn Hunters and The Children before the end of the month — so happy to see how much you enjoyed them!
We also started another show, which if you like Widow’s Bay, you might like (although they are completely different), The Boroughs – which we’ve now also binge watched!
I look forward to seeing your review for The Children. I simply cannot wait to read that one. Its lovely that you found a show to binge and I hope you have a lovely time with your family when they visit. I hope you have a lovely week and I look forward to seeing what you come up with Summer Of Horror wise too.
I’m about two thirds in with The Children and enjoying it very much so far in fact I’m in it’s hooks now and will probably have to try and finish it tonight.
Lynn 😀
I jhaven’t done a summer of horror post yet either. But as it is, I’m practically participating unintentionally, I just seem to be reading so much horror and dark fantasy these days!
