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 so 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:
Books read this week:
So, update on the stomach bug. Still not 100% unfortunately but I’m a lot better than I was so at least I seem to be on the mend. In terms of reading this week. I read Scarlet by Genevieve Cogman, this is the first in the Scarlet Revolution series and is one of my Beat the Backlist books from last year. I enjoyed this, it was light and charming and a good start to series. I have number two waiting to be read and hopefully will make a start this week. I also picked up and completed Cinderwich by Cherie Priest which I really liked and already reviewed (link below). Finally I picked up Moonstone by Laura Purcell. This is Purcell’s foray into YA. I enjoyed the writing for this one and it is packed with the author’s trademark gothic style but I didn’t love it as much as her adult books. Finally, I’ve made a good start on Hell for Hire by Rachel Aaron which is shaping up into what I hope will become a new UF that I love.
Complete Hell for Hire by Rachel Aaron and then pick up Hera by Jennifer Saint and Elusive by Genevieve Cogman.

- The Silence Factory by Bridget Collins
- The September House by Carissa Orlando

Books read this week:
Unfortunately I’ve been rather poorly for the past few days. I can only think I have food poisoning but no idea where from. I’ve been so exhausted and achy and unable to eat. I have managed a little reading. I completed The Silence Factory by Bridget Collins. I also read The House That Horror Built by Christina Henry. In other news SPFBOX has now started and books are being allocated. I haven’t managed to look at them yet but hopefully the next couple of days I’ll be feeling better.
Next Week’s Reads:
Hera by Jennifer Saint and then I have a choice but I think I’ll pick up Moonstone by Laura Purcell.and Cinderwitch by Cherie Priest.

Books read this week:
So, I haven’t quite got back to normality this week although I am trying. I’ve been gardening a little although still plenty to do. In bookish news I completed The Silverblood Promise by James Logan which was great. I also completed two audio books – Lying Beside you by Michael Robotham and The Malevolent Seven by Sebastien De Castell. I’ve made a start on The Silence Factory by Bridget Collins. I’m not sure about this one but it’s fairly early days so I’ll read a little more before I make a decision..
Next Week’s Reads:
Hopefully complete Bridget Collins Silence Factory and then Hera by Jennifer Saint and The House that Horror Built by Christina Henry. Lets see how things go.

Books read this week:
This week I’m hoping to get back to some normality. I’ve been doing some spring cleaning, not going crazy, just taking things nice and easy and slowly but surely winning the race. We have some lovely weather so I’d really like to get to the garden. In bookish news. I completed You Are Here by David Nicholls. This probably seems like a strange choice for me and outside my normal style of reading but I really enjoyed it. It’s a romance between two characters who thought their chances of meeting someone were over. I also read The Puppet Master by Sam Holland, I really enjoyed getting back to Cara and Griffin. Review to follow tomorrow. I’ve made a start on the Silverblood Promise by James Logan which is good so far. I’m also listening to the third in series – Lying Beside you by Michael Robotham. I’m enjoying this series very much and I have the fourth book already lined up as one of my June reads – Storm Child. And, I only have one more SPFBO Finalist to review. This week I’ll be catching up with comments and checking out all the blog posts I’ve missed the past two weeks.

Books read this week:
Ditto last week. Things still busy, visitors and all sorts going on. Regardless, I’ve managed to read two more of my review books and post a few reviews. I’ve not managed to catch up with blog hopping and answering comments yet but things should be back to normal soon. I finished and reviewed The Hungry Dark by Jen Williams. I also read The Redemption of Morgan Bright by Chris Panatier which is a very unusual read. I shall shortly be picking up You Are Here by David Nicholls. I reviewed one more of my SPFBO Finalists and have three more left to post. I’m currently juggling these reviews with those for review books but fingers crossed I should be able to fit everything in by the end of the month.
You Are Here by David Nicholls. I then have two more review books to choose from, both of which promise to be quick reads.
- SPFBO Finalist The Last Fang of God by Ryan Kirk
- The Library Thief by Kuchenga Shenjé
