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:
We currently have family staying with us so things are a bit chaotic, in a very good way, but this also means if I seem to be missing in action, or not around the blogosphere much it’s for that reason. I’m still reading and reviewing and actually making good progress this month but I’ll start catching up with comments and visits in another week. This week I read and already reviewed The Gathering by CJ Tudor. I really liked this, a vampire story where the vampires play second fiddle to the murder mystery and the chief investigator steals the show. I completed (and reviewed) Gods of the Wyrdwood by RJ Barke. rI’ve also read The Fates by Rosie Garland. This is a reimagining of Greek myth, the fall of the Gods and the life of Atalanta. I really enjoyed this. My audio book was the second in the Cyrus Haven series, When She Was Good by Michael Robotham I powered through this one picking it up to listen whenever possible.. And I’ve now started The Library Thief by Kuchenga Shenje.
Next Week’s Reads:
Hopefully complete The Library Thief. Then I’m hoping to pick up The Redemption of Morgan Bright by Chris Panatier – I’m so excited for this one..

And, another busy week. But, I completed Play of Shadows by Sebastien de Castell, I also finished my last SPFBO finalist, and I started one of my April review books, The Gathering by CJ Tudor.
Next Week’s Reads:
Hopefully complete my backlist book (if I haven’t already done so and complete CJ Tudor. Then I’ll be picking up another review book.

This week has been busy with not as much time for reading or blogging. I have completed another SPFBO finalist so only have one book left and I’ve also started to post my reviews. I’ve also started Play of Shadows by Sebastien de Castell which I’m enjoying so far.
Next Week’s Reads:
This week I’d like to finish Play of Shadows, which is my last March review book, I’m also hoping to read my final SPFBO finalist and perhaps fit in a backlist book.

This week I feel like I’ve been on a go slow for some reason. Not just in reading and blogging but everything. An overall lack of oomph. Anyway, I did manage to finally post an update about where I’m up to with SPFBO. I completed and reviewed Oracle by Thomas Olde Heuvelt. I also read another SPFBO finalist and picked up another – which I feel I will complete today, which will then leave me with two more finalists before my SPFBO reading is complete. I have one more review book this month which I will start this forthcoming week. Play of Shadows by Sebastien de Castell.

Next Week’s Reads:
Hoping to read my remaining SPFBO finalists and also my final review book for March. Mmm, I’d also like to fit in a backlist book.

This week I’ve had less time for reading and blogging – life ‘things’ keep getting in the way – in particular the freezer going on the blink involving lots of running around cleaning up and cooking things that I wouldn’t otherwise have been cooking plus overall very bad weather and storms and wind blowing things into places they shouldn’t be. Still, I managed to complete The Classified Dossier – Sherlock Holmes and Dorian Gray by Christian Klavier. I then went off track slightly and picked up Murder Road by Simone St James which I loved and in fact have already reviewed. Finally I picked up Oracle by Thomas Olde Heuvelt. I was hoping to complete this by the end of the day but I’ve been side tracked again so probably one to complete next week now.
Complete Oracle by Thomas Olde Heuvelt. I then have one final review book for March, Play of Shadows by Sebastien de Castell. After that I’m going to see if I can complete the rest of my SPFBO finalists. I’m also hoping to provide an update next week followed by reviews – one to be posted every few days (once I’ve drawn up my schedule).
