I’m trying to get back into the habit of doing a round-up of the week just completed and also take a look at my plans for the forthcoming week.  I rather got out of the habit of doing so but I would like to reinstate this type of post as I feel it keeps me on track.  So, I’m linking up to The Sunday Post over at Kimberly’s  Caffeinated Reviewer.  Without further ado:

Books read this week:

Well, lots of developments this week.  I’ve been really busy.  On top of that my phone has been broken which I will confess demonstrates quite powerfully just how easy it is for these little gadgets to insinuate themselves so easily into our lives.  It’s a flipping nightmare.  And, in other news, just in case things were becoming too simple we decided (rather suddenly and abruptly) to trial another rescue dog.  Put bluntly, our hearts overruled our heads and so here we now are!  Just over a year and a half ago we adopted a dog called Bones, a Podengo Grande, an absolutely beautiful dog with a heart of gold.  He is very much a part of our family and so when we came across a slightly smaller female version (almost identical to him in everything but looks as though she’s been put in a machine to shrink her down – ‘honey, I shrunk the dog’ – well, yes, e couldn’t resist.  So here we are.  Just three days in, trying to give her a calm environment and give her time to let her anxiety begin to lessen.  I can’t deny it’s hard work, and also messes up the routine.  But it is rewarding.   Between one thing and another there has been little time for anything this week.  But I have completed my beta read and also moved forward with my current SPFBO read, I’ve also written a couple of reviews – slowly but surely I’m catching up.

Next Week’s Reads:

Sill reading Silver Nitrate., The Ferryman and the Ghost Ship.  Perhaps I’ll leave it at that, something about the best laid plans!
