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:

My last Sunday post was so long ago now that I barely know where to start.  I’ve been doing some catching up this week.  A bit of blog hopping plus I’ve managed to post a number of reviews and I feel like I’m making good progress there.

My reading has also been good.  I finished off my final SPFBO book that I already reviewed on Friday.  I also managed to read Games for Dead Girls by Jen Williams and I’m a good third of the way into Jennifter Saint’s Atalanta and enjoying it so far.

Next Week’s Reads:

Hopefully complete Atalanta by Jennifer Saint.  I’d like to press on with my outstanding April books to see if I can maybe squeeze in a couple more which leaves me with the following choices.

1. The Cleaving by Juliet E McKenna
2. The Other Lives of Miss Emily White by A J Elwood
3. The Bone Shard War by Andrea Stewart

Plus – I could have a look at some of the March books I didn’t have time to pick up – so many possibilities!

So, as I write this post my dad is very poorly.  He’s in hospital and in a very bad way.  I can only keep my fingers and toes crossed that he pulls through.  I don’t expect to be reading much but you never know, the distraction might be what I need but I suspect that I simply won’t be able to concentrate.

The past week I managed to finish Thirteen by Craig DiLouie which was so good and also finish my listen of The Vanishing Act of Margaret Small – packed with emotion.  I also picked up and devoured the latest Laura Purcell – and it was good.  My next book is the latest CJ Tudor.  I’m blasting through this.  It’s gripping.

Next Week’s Reads:

I suspect I will have completed The Drift before this post goes live.  Then I’ll move onto the latest Camilla Bruce, All The Blood We Share. Which leaves me with one audio book to be read in January and my next SPFBO so I might be able to start thinking of February reads.   I do have a LOT of February reads.  But, as I said above, everything hinges on the next couple of days.

I was shocked to realised that I didn’t post a wrap up last week – whoops – I was obviously getting carried away with the holiday festivities.  Plus my daughter came to stay which was lovely so less time for reading and blogging.  In other news I’ve finally shaken off the lurgy, I still feel tired if I over exert myself but otherwise I feel good.  That being said my dad has just gone into hospital which is very worrying.  Hopefully he will be better soon but in the meantime it’s a bit distracting so if I go missing on here that’s probably why.

So, firstly, Happy New Year to everyone.  In reading news I managed to complete The House in the Pines by Ana Reyes.  I also managed to fit in The Ivory Tomb by Melissa Caruso which is the third and final book in the Rooks and Ruin series and was a very dramatic conclusion.  The past week I’ve been reading Episode Thirteen by Craig DiLouie which is very good and also listening to what is perhaps a strange choice for me, the Vanishing Act of Margaret Small by Neil Alexander.  It’s an easy listen that I hope to complete soon.

Next Week’s Reads:

Hopefully I’ll complete my two current reads fairly quickly as I’m close to the end of both and then I have three books that I’m very excited to get to.  All The Blood We Share by Camilla Bruce, The Drift by CJ Tudor and The Whispering Muse by Laura Purcell.  Literally, I’m so excited for these three books.  Fingers crossed they live up to my lofty expectations.
