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:
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.
Next Week’s Reads:
Complete my current SPFBO book and also, fingers crossed, Infinity Gate, then maybe one of my February review books.

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.

I’ve been away for a few days for my birthday. We had a great time but it has put me behind a little with reading and blogging so I’m back to playing catch up. I’ve carried on listening to Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff (about 7 hours left). I’ve read the Mystery Guest by Nita Prose and also made a start (about 50% in) with one of my SPFBO Semi Finalists.

Is everyone else finding that time is racing. I don’t seem to have enough time in the day at all. Anyway, this week I managed to complete The Hacienda by Isabel Cañas. I’ve continued listening to Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff (about 13 hours left – yes, this is a long book) and I’ve also read a Haunting in the Arctic by CJ Cooke. So, I am making good progress with the reads I’m trying to complete. I’ve now started the Mystery Guest by Nita Prose.
Complete Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff. Read The Mystery Guest by Nita Prose. Hopefully start Voyage of the Damned by Frances White.
