Weekly Update

Hey everyone. How’s your week been? The dark nights are starting to draw in a little and with the slight change in temperature Autumn definitely feels like its arrived. I managed to post three reviews this week which did feel a little bit busy but I’m trying to not get too far behind. I’ve read two books this week. I completed and loved the Thrice Bound Fool by Christopher Buehlman. I also read The Bookshop Book by Mark Lawrence and I’m now reading (and about a third in) to The House of Cursed Daughters by CJ Cooke.

Next Week’s Reads

Hopefully complete The House of Cursed Daughters by C.J. Cooke then I shall be picking up Royal Witch by Philippa Gregory. If I stay on track then I will have completed my October books and can make a start on November’s books. The first one, which I’m eager to get to is Wolves of War by John Grwynne.

Weekly Update

This has been a lovely week. Although, my husband came down with a cold a couple of days ago so its been a quiet weekend. The weather has been good and the temperature is a lot more bearable. I thought I’d take the opportunity to do some batch cooking and freezing so that’s my day kind of spoken for. This week I’ve managed to visit quite a few blogs and catch up with comments. I also managed to post a couple of reviews. In book reading news I picked up and completed A Scholar’s Guide to Demonology & Other Dark Arts  by Genevieve Cogman which was a lot of fun and my review is already up. I then stayed on plan and picked up The Thrice Bound Fool by Christopher Buehlman and I’m about 50% into this one. I love his sense of humour.

Next Week’s Reads

Hopefully complete The Thrice Bound Fool by Christopher Buehlman in the next couple of days and then I’d like to pick up either Royal Witch by Philippa Gregory or The House of Cursed Daughters by C.J. Cooke.

Weekly Update

Hope you’ve all had a good week. I’ve been busy with various things and seem to be running round a little bit like a maniac but having a good time. I managed to catch up with some blog hopping which was great seeing all the posts about books – because reading about potential books for the TBR will never become boring. I completed Carry Me To My Grave by Christopher Golden which is very good, my post will be up later this forthcoming week. I picked up Bodies of Magic by Freya Marske but this one wasn’t quite working for me so for now I’ve set it aside. I can’t make my mind up whether to give it another go in a few weeks. I then decided to go for The Faerie Handmade by Louisa Morgan which I’m really enjoying and should complete by the time this post is live. Then I’m going to just about have time to Squeeze in A Waltz of Sinister Import by Stephanie Burgis.

Next Week’s Reads

Complete A Waltz of Sinister Import by Stephanie Burgis and then I’m going to pick up the new Joanna Harris book – Sleepers in the Snow, which I’m so excited about.

Weekly Update

It’s been a nice chilled week. I carried on with my read of Our Noble Selves by Kate Atkinson. This was a real change of pace. A historical novel set in the period just after World War II. Atkinson is literally a genius at capturing the essence of a period and also bringing quirky characters to the scene. This is a very mild murder mystery with an essence of espionage. Very easy to read and with a cheeky fun element. I also couldn’t resist picking up the latest book by Emily St John Mandel, Exit Party – and, much as I expected, this was wonderfully complex, strangely compelling and utterly unusual. Where on earth do these ideas come from! I’ve just started Worry Box by Chris Panatier, it’s early days but I’m hoping to tuck a good chunk of this under my belt later today.

Next Week’s Reads

Complete Chris Panatier’s Worry Box and then I’m hoping to pick up either Pride, Prejudice and Peril by Jessica Bull or Carry Me To My Grave by Christopher Golden. Lets see how I get on.

Weekly Update

Woah this week has been a hot one – which was nice in terms of making me slow down with some things and instead chill with a book, literally too warm to do anything other than lollop. In fact I’ve been having a very good time with my reading. I read – literally in one sitting – Kiss Slay Replay by Rachel Harrison and absolutely loved it, couldn’t put it down. I then stayed on track and picked up Murder at The Grand Alpine Hotel by Lucy Foley which is a Miss Marple murder mystery. I quite enjoyed this one, it was a nice change in pace. Finally, and I don’t know how I managed to fit in another book but I read Serenity Falls by CJ Tudor. I liked this, the writing was good and I was curious about what was going on but I didn’t find it as good as some of the other books I’ve read by this author. I’ve now picked up the latest Kate Atkinson book, Our Noble Selves, too early to have any opinion one way or the other just yet having read only 4%. Fingers crossed that I love it.

Next Week’s Reads

Hopefully complete Our Noble Selves by Kate Atkinson and then I’m either going to pick up The Island of the Lost by Daisy Stephens or I might let my enthusiasm get the better of me and jump straight into Exit Party by Emily St John Mandel.
