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 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.

Books read this week:

Next Week’s Reads:

I’m going to pick up Echo by Thomas Olde Heuvelt (I couldn’t resist this one after loving Hex) and I’m also hoping to make a start on This Charming Man by CK McDonnell which is the second book in the Stranger Times series.  I had a fantastic time reading the first book and can’t wait to pick this one up.

This week I’ve been trying to catch up with my blogging.  December was a bit crazy, Christmas was chaotic and frankly I’m glad to have started a new year.  My reading and blogging has been quite slow for the past few weeks as a result of everything going on.  So, this last week I read The Maid by Nita Prose which was really good and I started Reckless Girls by Rachel Hawkins.  I will be starting a new SPFBO book very soon and also hoping to make some headway on my February review books.

Last week:

Well, I’m slowly starting to catch up.  I’ve started visiting all my lovely blogger buddies slowly but surely and my motto of the moment is ‘little by little’.  In big news I’ve finished my SPFBO books – all fifteen of them.  I’ll be posting reviews and an update very soon.  I’ve also finished my buddy read book and absolutely loved it.
