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 week has had a few ups and downs culminating with my dad going into hospital. It’s a bit of a worrying time to say the least and I don’t think my mind is entirely focused. I’ve completed my SPFBO finalist and started finalist No.8. I haven’t read any of my review books so need to do some catching up. Unfortunately Pennyblade was not really working for me so I’ve set it to one side for the moment because clearly it could be related to my mood rather than the content of the book. I am hoping to pick up Seven Deaths of an Empire this week. Hope you’re all doing well?
Books read this week:
1 x SPFBO finalist
I will be reading another of my SPFBO finalists and also picking up Seven Deaths of an Empire by GR Matthews.
- Insomnia by Sarah Pinborough
- Legacy of the Brightwash (Tainted Dominion #1) by Krystle Matar

This week has been a busy one although I’m not entirely sure why – the time seems to have flown by and I’ve barely had chance to break open my laptop or write up posts, but, I did manage to complete the two books that I wanted to so I’ll take that. I read my SPFBO finalist and now have three books remaining (one of which I’ve made a start on) and I also read Insomnia which is quite possibly my favourite Pinborough so far and very aptly named because I feel like I suffered some sleeplessness myself whilst reading! (Mainly due to ‘just one more chapter’ syndrome). I haven’t managed to post any reviews so the blog may be a little busy this week.
Books read this week:
1 x SPFBO finalist
Insomnia by Sarah Pinborough
I will be reading another of my SPFBO finalists and also picking up Seven Deaths of an Empire by GR Matthews or Pennyblade by JL Worrad – anyone read either of those so far?

This week I’ve been trying to push on with my reading. I did finish Last Exit by Max Gladstone and by the time this post goes live I also expect to have completed another of my SPFBO finalists. Hopefully reviews up soon. I have had a rather full week and haven’t managed to catch up with things the way I’d have liked but I’ve made a start blog hopping and hope to get back on trace and uptodate with reviews this week.
Books read this week:
1 x SPFBO book
Next Week’s Reads:
I have another SPFBO finalist lined up and also I’ve made a start on The City of Dusk by Tara Sim.

Last week I mentioned that I was pressing on with my SPFBO finalists and those plans managed to stay on track. I completed the book I was reading and also managed to fit in another SPFBO book which means I’m now at the halfway point. In review books I read The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley which I really enjoyed and already reviewed earlier this week. I also read Gallant by VE Schwab and my review for that one shall be posted soon. I do have some catching up to do. I’ve not been responding to comments and I’ve not been keeping up with my buddy read or blog hopping – I thought I had to push on with my SPFBO and make some headway and also I can’t deny that recent ‘world events’ have definitely had a very negative impact. I won’t go into that on here though.

This week has been busy but I’m happy to say that I’ve read two books and also managed to start my SPFBO book and also the first few chapters of my buddy read – which is the second book in the First Law series by Joe Abercrombie – Before They are Hanged. Mayri from the Bookforager and I had a fantastic time reading The Blade Itself and so I was very excited to start this one and so far it doesn’t disappoint. I shall be reading more again tonight so that we can start our discussions. I completed The Great Witch of Brittany by Louisa Morgan which I loved and so will definitely be back tracking to read some of her other books. I already have a copy of The Witch’s Kind so might dive straight in with that one – any thoughts? I also went off plan a little and read The Haunting of Las Lagrimas by WM Cleese. This is a gothic style story with a remote haunted house, a cruel history and a cursed family.

Next Week’s Reads:

I had a fantastic time reading the first book and can’t wait to pick this one up.
