Booking Ahead/Weekly Wrap Up

This week has been good in terms of reading – unfortunately, I seem to have caught a cold which is quite unpleasant but hopefully I’ll shake it off soon.  I’ve been doing some catching up, visiting all your lovely blogs to see what I’ve missed and also responding to comments.  I’ve posted two reviews this week and I probably need to post three more next week.  I also need to make a start on reviewing my SPFBO books and I’m hoping to squeeze in one more title before the end of February.  In books – I completed Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett.  I’ve loved this series and this was a very satisfying conclusion (at least I think it’s the conclusion).  I’ll be posting a review next week.  I also read, and already reviewed, Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis.  This was a lovely romantasy, cosy with low stakes.  Check out my review here.  I then picked up Black Woods, Blue Sky by Eowyn Ivey, this is quite a sad read, or at least that’s how I felt about it.  Beautifully written and very atmospheric.  Finally, I picked up Greenteeth by Molly O’Neill, which I’m absolutely loving and can’t wait to dive back into.

Finish Greenteeth and then I’d like to try and fit in one more review book and maybe another SPFBO finalist (perhaps one of the shorter books – there are some very chunky finalists this year).

So, this week was chaotic.  So much going on and such a lot to do, it’s been fun but I’m hoping next week will be much quieter and finally give me the chance to catch up with a few things – maybe not everything.  Since my last Sunday post I managed to complete the SPFBO finalist I was reading (I now have four finalists to review and rate which I’ll be getting round to soon).  I also read The Crimson Road by AG Slatter which was fantastic, I absolutely loved it and will be posting about it shortly.  I’ve also made a start on Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett.

Finish the Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales and then I have a few lovely books to choose from.  I’m thinking I’d like to pick up The Sirens by Emilia Hart and also Black Woods, Blue Sky by Eowyn Ivey.

Booking Ahead/Weekly Wrap Up (slightly late!)

Being late seems to be a theme for me at the moment!  I’m still reading and catching up but still keeping busy in other news and that’s set to continue for this week.  So, hopefully, next week, maybe things will be a bit calmer, I’ll catch up with absolutely everything and live happily ever after – it could happen.  I did manage to complete Grave Empire by Richard Swan and in fact already reviewed it.  Spoiler alert – I loved it.  In an attempt to get ahead a little with my SPFBO books I’ve already read another finalist which I enjoyed and I’m almost through the fourth one I picked up.  I need to start writing some reviews for these in the forthcoming week.  Once I complete this fourth finalist I’m going to be picking up some February review books.  Definitely Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett and The Crimson Road by AG Slatter.  I’m really looking forward to both of these and so I have no doubt they’ll be quick reads.  Lets see if I can finish my current SPFBO book and the above two.  Stranger things have happened.

Hopefully I will have finished my fourth finalist which means I can pick up one of the two books mentioned above.  So excited!

So, you may have noticed a slight absence from me for the past (almost two weeks).  Just for the record, I’m not having a reading burn out or ditching my blog.  I’ve been really busy personally and then I got the winter stomach bug that totally floored me.  On top of that my language courses restarted after Christmas break and so that sucked some of my time (a lot of my time).  My reading has been slow, but, I’ve read all my review books for January (thankfully this was a quiet month) and I’m just about to complete my second SPFBO finalist.  I need to come visit all you lovely peeps and write a couple of reviews to catch up – easy right – what could possibly go wrong!

Once I complete my second SPFBO finalist (this evening) I’m definitely picking up Grave Empire by Richard Swan.

Hopefully complete Grave Empire and then make a start on Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett.

I’m starting to pick up my reading a little bit but, I would say that I’m still not up to my usual weekly reading just yet. Probably just too many things going on.  I’ve pressed on reading two SPFBO books, still early days but I’m making progress. And I read and enjoyed Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney.  I’ve now picked up and am almost half way through The House of Frost and Feathers by Lauren Wiesebron and I’m enjoying it. It isn’t a particularly fast or explosive read but I’m enjoying the writing.

Once I complete The House of Frost and Feathers – Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix is my last review book for January so I’m hoping  to complete both SPFBO books, read a Backlist book and maybe pick up one or two of my February review books – but that does sound a bit ambitious so we’ll see.
