Booking Ahead/Weekly Wrap Up

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:

I’m a little bit behind (story of my life so it seems).  We’ve been away for a week to the beautiful city of Madrid.  We had a fantastic time there amongst all the hustle and bustle.  It’s a very friendly city, great tapas, delicious wine, plenty to see and do.  I highly recommend it.  I have managed a few reads which is good but I’m behind with reviews (obviously I wasn’t writing these up on holiday – I’m such a slacker!) so now I have to give my head a wobble and schedule a few in this week to try and catch up.  I’ve also not been blog hopping or responding to comments so I’ll be getting back on track with that also.  In reading news I’ve managed to complete three of my review books.  I went off schedule a little.  I started with The Trials of Empire by Richard Swan which was an excellent conclusion to the series – lots of action and horror in this grand finale.  I then picked up AG Slatter’s The Briar Book of the Dead which is just wonderful.  I’m loving her work and so I went into the read with high expectations and I’m pleased to say these were easily met with this deliciously witchy tale.  I then picked up T Kingfisher’s What Feasts at Night which was a very quick read.   My next read will be another of my SPFBO finalists, I’m hoping to fit two in this month to keep me on track.

This week I’ve been away for a few days and in fact I’m still away.  So, I’ve had a few posts scheduled but not written many reviews or done much blog hopping or chatting with everyone.  Next week, hopefully, normal service will be resumed.  This week I managed to stay on track. I’ve read Only If You’re Lucky by Stacy Willingham and Everyone Who Can Forgive Me Is Dead by Jenny Hollander and enjoyed both of these titles – my only regret is reading one on the back of the other – because they’re both mysteries that flit back and forth between the ‘then’ and the ‘now’.

Woah people, I’ve been on a mission this week.  I’ve been working hard and been using the opportunity to listen to some audio – this has gone really well.  I completed Relight My Fire by CK McDonnell which I confess – was brilliant.  I also completed the audio version of September House  – another great read, seriously.  So, on top of that – and get ready for this because I’ve surprised myself – I listened to two further audio books, The Heiress by Rachel Hawkins and also What Moves the Dead by T Kingfisher which is a reimagining of Poe’s House of Usher, what can I say, they were both great so I was always keen to get back on board.  And, I read another of my SPFBO books.  Phew.  I don’t know what came over me.  I’ve posted a couple of reviews this week but think I’ll have to step it up next week to catch up a bit.   I’ve also started a new audio book – Infinity gate by MR Carey, I love this author, but, I’m not going to lie, this feels very hard sci-fi at the moment so I don’t know whether we’re going to be compatible or not.  I’ve also picked up another SPFBO book – hoping to tuck two under my belt this month.

Complete my current SPFBO book and also, fingers crossed, Infinity Gate, then maybe one of my February review books.

This past week, I’ve still been quite busy with friends and family so slightly less reading time.  I have managed to start my reviews and will be trying to catch up some more this week also.  I finished Emily Wilde’s Map of the Otherlands by Heather Fawcett and I picked up Miss Austen Investigates, the Hapless Milliner by Jessica Bull and I’m about a third of the way into this one.

What a crazy and hectic week this has been.  There’s been lots going on and on top of that in the last few days we’ve all fallen prey to the dreaded lurgy.  I think the Grinch has stolen Christmas for us – but, it matters not, we’ll just put a slight delay on things.  Hope everyone else is keeping well?  My listening to Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff (about 7 hours left) has not progressed this week – mainly because I’ve been ill.  I did manage to complete my first SPFBO finalist and I’ve made a great start on Voyage of the Damned by Frances White – what a fantastic story this is so far, I’m absolutely loving it and can’t wait to pick it back up – 30% in so far.  Seriously, loving it.
