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 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:

This is my first weekly wrap up for a few weeks.  I’ve had a two week break while family and friends have been visiting/holidaying and this past week been catching up with lots of chores.  I now need to catch back up with my reading and blog hopping to see what lovely posts I’ve missed.  I did manage to start my second batch of SPFBO books.  I’ve read a review book that I’ll be posting about soon and over the past few days I read Ronald Malfi’s Black Mouth which I loved.  Somehow I seem to have given myself a stiff neck which has been really painful – don’t know what or how I’ve done this but I hope it goes soon as it’s really unpleasant!  Anyway, enough of this.  Onto the past week and the week ahead:

Next Week’s Reads:

Next week I’m hoping to start catching up with the review books I unfortunately got behind with in July and also make a start on some August books.  I’ll also be continuing with my SPFBO books.  Here are a few of my choices:

Obviously, I’m not suggesting that I’ll read six books!  This is just a selection of what I’m looking forward to.  Have you read any of these?

I’ve been absent a couple of weeks.  Still been reading but been very busy personally and not had much time to blog.  I did manage to read Daughter of Redwinter by Ed McDonald which I also reviewed.  I’ve finished reading the first batch of SPFBO books (I’ve read at least 30% of all the books from my first batch and tomorrow I’ll be posting my second batch of books, after which I will begin making cuts.  Not the favourite part of the competition but it is what it is.  I’ve also completed Before They are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie which was my latest buddy read with the lovely Bookforager. I’m also 40% into a review book that I’ll be posting about soon.

Next Week’s Reads:

Next week I’m hoping to read a couple of review books, Upgrade by Blake Crouch and Just Like Home by Sarah Gailey.  I’ll also be making a start on my next five SPFBO books.

1. Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak
2. The Bay by Allie Reynolds
3. The Path of Thorns by AG Slatter

This week I read two of my intended books and started another which I’m well underway with.  I’m still catching up on reviews and short of posting two a day it’s going to take me a little while but hopefully I should have another three reviews out next week. I completed Stringers by Chris Panatier and The Echo Man by Sam Holland.  I also made a start on  The Grief of Stones by Katherine Addison.

Next Week’s Reads:

I need to finish The Grief of Stones and than I’ll be picking up The Seawomen by Chloe Timms.  After that, if I get a chance I have a few books to choose from but think I’d like to pick up Hidden Pictures by Jason Rekulak.

So, today is a lovely day and we’re about to have a bbq with friends so this will be short and sweet.  I’ve had a good reading week.  Read the final episode in Mark Lawrence’s Book of the Ice – the Girl and the Moon – and it was a fantastic ending.  I’ve started catching up with comments and doing some blog hopping – it will take me a little while to visit everyone and get uptodate but I will do it 😀  I hate the thought of missing a review for a brilliant book – nobody wants that do they!

Books read this week:

The Girl and the Moon by Mark Lawrence and Nettle and Bone by T Kingfisher.

I didn’t manage to get to The Night They Vanished by Vanessa Savage so I’ll be picking that up.  The House with the Golden Door by Elodie Harper is another book I’m really looking forward to and I have a surprise book that I’m joining a blog tour for that is really exciting.
