Today I’m posting my Weekly Wrap Up and II’m linking up to The Sunday Post over at Kimberly’s Caffeinated Reviewer. Without further ado:
Weekly Update
I have been a bit sporadic with my weekly updates but I really need to get back on board otherwise I completely lose track of what I’ve read and when I’ve read it. Plus it helps me monitor outstanding reviews. I’ve also (literally just) decided to update my A-Z of book reviews, this hasn’t been updated for years so I imagine it will take some time but I’m determined to do it.
So, this is my first update since the new year. I’ve posted a number of posts starting with my favourite books of 2025, my December round up, a Top Ten Tuesday post that gave me the opportunity to come up with another ten great books, my bookish resolutions and three reviews (What Stalks the Deep, Play Nice and A Box Full of Darkness. My reading has got off to a good start kicking off with A Box Full of Darkness by Simone St James (spoiler alert – I loved it) and earlier today I completed Rings of Fate by Melissa de la Cruz. I have three books left to complete in January – The Wolf and the Crown of Blood by Elizabeth May, Fiend by Alma Katsu and Enchanting the Fae Queen by Stephanie Burgis.
Next Week’s reads
Next week I’m hoping to read The Wolf and the Crown of Blood by Elizabeth May and make a start on Enchanting the Fae Queen by Stephanie Burgis. That will mean I have only one more January review book so I can then pick up a couple of February reads and maybe one of my backlist books. Although you know what they say about the best laid plans.

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 this last year 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:
Last week
I completed and reviewed The Mask of Mirrors. I also started and finished The Shape of Darkness by Laura Purcell (review to be posted this forthcoming week). I’m also 50% into Juliet Marillier’s Daughter of the Forest which I’m buddy reading with Mayri over at the Bookforager. I’m also listening/reading to We Lie With Death by Devin Madson.
Next Week
I’m hoping to complete We Lie With Death and start listening to the audio version of Paternus: War of Gods by Dyrk Ashton. I will also be reading my SPFBO book Nether Light by Shaun Paul Stevens. Ambitious? Perhaps a little bit – let’s see how I get on. Something about the best laid plans.
Reviews Posted since last Sunday:
- Mask of Mirrors by MA Carrick
- Pawn’s Gambit by Rob J Hayes
Forthcoming Reviews:
- The Shape of Darkness by Laura Purcell
- Ink and Sigil by Kevin Hearne
- Shiver by Allie Reynolds
What’ve you been up to the past week?
