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 this last year 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:

Last week:

I went off plan a little bit this week and read the first three of my SPFBO books.  Hopefully reviews will be forthcoming this week.  I’ve read a little more of For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten which I will complete this week, also hoping to complete my fourth SPFBO book. My two buddy reads have suffered a little as a result. I’m hoping to delve back into First Law later today and then I’ll be starting my third Discworld book.  I’ve had an awful cold this week which in some ways slowed me down but at the same time gave me a little more down time for reading.  

Complete For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten.  Read my fourth SPFBO book.  I still have a few more review books this month so hopefully think about which to pick up next.

1. Wendy, Darling by AC Wise
2. Day Zero by C Robert Cargill

Forthcoming Reviews:

1. Murder of Crows by Anne Bishop
2. Stranded by Rosalind Tate
3. Graves Robbed, Heirlooms Returned by Ashley Capes
4. Deathborn by CE Page

Last week:

And June is here.  How on earth did that happen so quickly.  I’ve not done as much reading or blogging this week.  Still pushing through my review books and managed to write up three reviews which feels like progress to a certain extent.  I’ve been busy in the garden and still have lots of projects which are keeping me away from books and the blog.  This week I read Wendy Darling – a dark take on the Peter Pan story by AC Wise.  I’ve read the first quarter of First Law, my buddy read with The Book Forager – which I’m loving, shouldn’t be a surprise as I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve picked up so far by Joe Abercrombie.  I’ve also started For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten, it’s still early days but so far I’m having Uprooted vibes.

Complete For the Wolf by Hannah Whitten, continue with my buddy read of First Law and hopefully start Stranded, which is the first SPFBO book.

1. The Light Fantastic by Terry Pratchett
2. The Ikessar Falcon by KS Villoso
3. Near the Bone by Christina Henry

Forthcoming Reviews:

Last week:

Still very busy last week but I’m pleased to say that I’ve started to catch up with blog hopping, if I’ve not visited you yet I have made good progress and this week hopefully will get to everyone.  On the reading front I’ve read two books, both a little spontaneous and off plan – but, never mind – The Blacktongue Thief which I really enjoyed and Later by Stephen King which was also very good.  I do need to get back to The Helm of Midnight by Marina Lostetter and The Wolf Den by Elodie Harper.  Both of those were not quite working their magic for me so I will try again this week.  I also will be reading the next instalment of the second Discworld book later this evening.

Complete The Helm of Midnight and The Wolf Den as mentioned above. I will also make a start on The Broken God by Gareth Hanrahan.

Last week:

So this week.  I finished the SPFBO competition.  My final read was The Lost War by Justin Lee Anderson, which was coincidentally also the winner of the competition.  My review is here.  I also completed The Girl and the Mountain by Mark Lawrence which was a very good second instalment and I enjoyed that it took us back to a world that Lawrence fans are already familiar with.  I’ve made a start on John Gwynne’s The Shadow of the Gods which has pretty much already grabbed my attention.  I’ve also made a start on The Helm of Midnight by Marina Lostetter which is interesting. And, I seriously need to catch up with some reviews so hopefully I’ll manage to get three of four out this week.  Finally, I’m hoping to get back on track with blogging and blog hopping and see what I’ve been missing out on.

Next Week

Complete The Shadow of the Gods and The Helm of Midnight.  Also make a start on the second Discworld book and maybe make a start on The Wolf Den by Elodie Harper.
