Today I’m posting my Weekly Wrap Up and I’m linking up to The Sunday Post over at Kimberly’s Caffeinated Reviewer. Without further ado:
Weekly Update
Some good, some bad weather this week, but I’ve managed to get into the garden again, Operation Triffid Clean Up is in it’s third week! I’ve also been keeping up with some blog hopping and also writing my reviews almost immediately I finish reading – which I’m so happy about because I feel it helps me a lot. I’m still listening to The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson, I do need to give my head a wobble and remember to put my earphones in – for example when I’m gardening. Anyway, I’m making progress and enjoying it so far. I managed to complete Snake-Eater by T Kingfisher which I really enjoyed and then I picked up How to Get Away With Murder by Rebecca Philipson – this was a very intriguing read. My review should be up tomorrow. I’m also about 70% into Daughter of Crows by Mark Lawrence.
Next Week’s reads
I’ll continue listening to The Raven Scholar and hopefully complete Daughter of Crows, if not tonight then tomorrow. Then I’m undecided. I could pick up The Fortune Tellers of Rue Daru by Olesya Salnikova Gilmore or The Geomagician by Jennifer Mandula.

Weekly Update
This week the weather has been pretty awesome which has led me to go on a washing spree- well, things might change soon enough so I have to make hay while the sun shines or something like that. If it wasn’t nailed down it was getting washed. Everything has been washed. Also gardening, because, well, Day of the Triffids is happening out there at the moment what with all the warm wet weather. Anyway, I’ve been busy socially too but I’ve managed to stay on top of my reviews and been blog hopping. I completed Green and Deadly Things by Jenn Lyons and have already posted my review. It wasn’t totally my cup of tea but I’m sure it will find it’s audience, it felt a little YA for my tastes. I also completed listening to Boudicca’s Daughter by Elodie Harper which was really good and I should be posting my review this forthcoming week. I’m also just about to finish Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman – this is a very weird and dark story. I’m thinking to conclude it this evening so I’m waiting to see how things pan out. I have started listening to The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson. It’s early days but I’m enjoying it so far.

Well, I’d like to complete Between Two Fires before this post goes lives if possible (haha, the best laid plans though). I’d then like to pick up my backlist book for this month which is The Magician’s Daughter by HG Parry – I am so excited to pick this up, I’ve read a couple of books already by this author and loved them. I will be continuing with The Raven Scholar and if possible might pick up How to Get Away with Murder by Rebecca Philipson, this is another March review book so I’d be really happy to squeeze it in but equally not going to stress about it.

Weekly Update
The bad weather has lessened which is a relief. I mean, it’s not brilliant, but it is better. I have been busy this week for some reason but I’ve still managed to squeeze in a couple of books. Here’s what I’ve been up to. I completed Nowhere Burning by Catriona Ward, I enjoyed it but beware because it’s very dark. I also read Temple Fall by RL Boyle. I had mixed feelings with this one which is a bit of a shame, my review should be up tomorrow. I am currently reading Green and Deadly Things by Jenn Lyons (which is one of my March books). In other news I did pick up Loving a Vampire is Total Chaos by Aura Hayes but this was a DNF for me at 30%. I’m also listening to Boudicca’s Daughter by Elodie Harper which I’m hoping to finish next week.

Weekly Update
The bad weather continues. Oh well, it is what it is. We’ve had visitors staying this week so not as much time for blogging or reading. I have read Agnes Aubert’s Mystical Cat Shelter by Heather Fawcett. And I’ve made a start on Nowhere Burning by Catriona Ward. I’ve actually managed to catch up with my book reviews which is a first for a long time. I’m quite happy about that as it should mean I can write my review as soon as I finish reading which I very much prefer to do while the emotions and feelings are still strong. This week I’ll be catching up with blog hopping and seeing what I’ve missed.
Next Week’s reads
Hopefully I can complete Nowhere Burning and make a start on Temple Fall by RL Boyle. I’ve also started to listen to Elodie Harper’s Boudicca’s Daughter. If I manage to read Temple Fall and Nowhere Burning I have only one more review book for February so can make a start on March review books (but, the best laid plans, etc, etc..)

Weekly Update
The weather is still very rainy and blustery although to be fair we did have sunshine today. It’s the kind of weather that quickly turns your garden into a nightmare as everything grows for fun with this combination of wet and warm. Anyway. I’ve had another good reading and blogging week – long may it continue – I managed to complete The Storm by Rachel Hawkins, which was very good. I will be reviewing that in the next week. I also decided to pick up my Backlist Book – Traitor in the Ice by KJ Maitland. It was a strong addition to the series. Finally, I read A Forest Darkly by AG Slatter which I adored. Review tomorrow.

I’ve already made a start on the latest Heather Fawcett book and so far I’m enjoying it and making good progress. I have an audio copy of Boudicca’s Daughter which I’m hoping to start and I’d then like to move on to another review book, I’m thinking next will be Temple Fall by RL Boyle.
