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.

Happy New Year everyone. Hope you’ve all got off to a great start for 2025. This is my first Sunday post so let’s take a look at what’s been going on. I was hoping to complete The Coven by Harper L Woods but I ended up setting this to one side. What I then picked up and completed quite quickly was one of my January review books, Daughter of Chaos by A S Webb, which was an entertaining and quick read. I’ve also made a good start on one of my SPFBO books. I have only two reviews left to catch up with to be fully uptodate and I’ve also been doing some blog hopping to see what you’ve all been up to.
I’m going to continue with my SPFBO book and also pick up one of the following:
- Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix
- Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney
- The Scholar and the Last Faerie Door by HG Parry
- The Last One At the Wedding by Jason Rekulak
- The Queen by Nick Cutter
