Weekly Update
Hey everyone. How’s your week been? I’ve been a bit neglectful of my blog this week so I need to do some catching up. But, I did manage to complete The House of Cursed Daughters by CJ Cooke (which was brilliant) and then I picked up Royal Witch by Philippa Gregory which is very easy to engage with and I am hoping to finish it later today.


Next Week’s Reads
Next week I shall be picking up Wolves of War by John Grwynne then depending on how I get along I would like to pick up Mazywood by Tananarive Due.

Weekly Update
Hey everyone. How’s your week been? The dark nights are starting to draw in a little and with the slight change in temperature Autumn definitely feels like its arrived. I managed to post three reviews this week which did feel a little bit busy but I’m trying to not get too far behind. I’ve read two books this week. I completed and loved the Thrice Bound Fool by Christopher Buehlman. I also read The Bookshop Book by Mark Lawrence and I’m now reading (and about a third in) to The House of Cursed Daughters by CJ Cooke.


Next Week’s Reads
Hopefully complete The House of Cursed Daughters by C.J. Cooke then I shall be picking up Royal Witch by Philippa Gregory. If I stay on track then I will have completed my October books and can make a start on November’s books. The first one, which I’m eager to get to is Wolves of War by John Grwynne.

Weekly Update
This has been a lovely week. Although, my husband came down with a cold a couple of days ago so its been a quiet weekend. The weather has been good and the temperature is a lot more bearable. I thought I’d take the opportunity to do some batch cooking and freezing so that’s my day kind of spoken for. This week I’ve managed to visit quite a few blogs and catch up with comments. I also managed to post a couple of reviews. In book reading news I picked up and completed A Scholar’s Guide to Demonology & Other Dark Arts by Genevieve Cogman which was a lot of fun and my review is already up. I then stayed on plan and picked up The Thrice Bound Fool by Christopher Buehlman and I’m about 50% into this one. I love his sense of humour.
Next Week’s Reads
Hopefully complete The Thrice Bound Fool by Christopher Buehlman in the next couple of days and then I’d like to pick up either Royal Witch by Philippa Gregory or The House of Cursed Daughters by C.J. Cooke.

Weekly Update
Hope you’ve all had a good week. I’ve had a good week, busy with nice weather, with a slight drop in the temperature thankfully. Managed to have a good mix of socials and blogging and reading. I’ve caught up with three reviews and also managed to read three books – which probably sounds much more impressive than it really is because two were slightly shorter, probably about a couple of hundred pages each. I’ve not been able to fit in much blog hopping this week but hoping to catch up with everyone in the next couple of days. So, I finished reading A Waltz of Sinister Import by Stephanie Burgis which is the final instalment (I believe) in her Lady and Lord Riven series and was a lovely note to conclude the series on. I then decided to pick up the latest Joanne Harris book – the ghostly Sleepers in the Snow. This felt quite different somehow, it’s unsettlingly twisted. Then I decided to dive into The Porcelain Sisters by Daryl Gregory. This was very easy to read with great pacing and an absolutely crazily unique tale. My next read will be A Scholar’s Guide to Demonology & Other Dark Arts by Genevieve Cogman, I can’t wait to get started.

Hopefully complete A Scholar’s Guide to Demonology & Other Dark Arts by Genevieve Cogman and then I’d like to pick up The Thrice Bound Fool by Christopher Buehlman. I loved his last two books so I’m really keen to pick this one up. If you’re interested in this series it gets off to an excellent start with The Blacktongue Thief (first in series with the main character Kinch), it then jumps back to a prequel called The Daughters’ War (No.0 in series) – which was fantastic and rated a full 5 stars from me. Now we’re set for a return to some more of Kinch’s exploits in The Thrice-Bound Fool (No.2).

Weekly Update
Hope you’ve all had a good week. I’ve been busy with various things and seem to be running round a little bit like a maniac but having a good time. I managed to catch up with some blog hopping which was great seeing all the posts about books – because reading about potential books for the TBR will never become boring. I completed Carry Me To My Grave by Christopher Golden which is very good, my post will be up later this forthcoming week. I picked up Bodies of Magic by Freya Marske but this one wasn’t quite working for me so for now I’ve set it aside. I can’t make my mind up whether to give it another go in a few weeks. I then decided to go for The Faerie Handmade by Louisa Morgan which I’m really enjoying and should complete by the time this post is live. Then I’m going to just about have time to Squeeze in A Waltz of Sinister Import by Stephanie Burgis.
