Weekly Update
Hi everyone. I’m catching up slowly but surely, hope you’re all doing well and not too busy. I’m still reading The Blackfire Blade by James Logan (The Last Legacy #2). Hopefully I should finish tomorrow. It’s taken me a little longer than I expected for one reason or another. I am catching up with reviews and blog hopping though! And, like probably most of you all, it’s the time of year when you just feel a bit chaotic, I can’t believe how quickly the time is going and now December has arrived it’s like we’ve progressed to double time.
Next Week’s reads
Well, all going well I should complete The Blackfire Blade by James Logan tomorrow. And then I’m going to start Outlaw Planet by MR Carey.

Weekly Update
Busy, busy, busy. Hope you’re all doing well? I’m still playing catch up to be honest, but, I’m making progress. I have a few reviews to catch up with and I’m not fully caught up with blog hopping but slowly, slowly. I also posted my ‘Countdown to Christmas’ – the prompts are here. So, this week I’ve read Too Old For This by Samantha Downing which was so completely different from my usual reading and I really enjoyed it. A serial killer who is trying to give up. Dark humour indeed. And, I’ve picked up The Blackfire Blade by James Logan (The Last Legacy #2).

Weekly Update
Hey everyone. Hope you’re all doing well. I’m starting to tentatively ease back into blogging and I’ve started to catch up with reviews although I still have a few to post. My reading is good though and I’m enjoying the books I’m picking up very much. This week I have been busy with lots of going out and socialising – it’s that time of year – so slightly less reading than normal but I read The Austen Christmas Murders by Jessica Bull, I’m enjoying this series of books very much and this was a very intriguing read. I’ve also started Too Old For This by Samantha Downing which I’m really enjoying – oddly enough as it’s about a retired serial killer – the dark humour is very good (thanks Tammy).
Next Week’s reads
I’d like to finish reading Too Old for This and then my next read will be The Blackfire Blade by James Logan. I’ll also be posting on Monday about my ‘Countdown to Christmas’ which I will be once again hosting if you care to join in – there’s a list of prompts and no rules!

Weekly Update
Well, until the last month I was doing very well with my review books – then everything went to hell in a handcart and you think to yourself that’s hubris for ya because up to that point I was actually on track! Anyway, here we are. I’m back to blogging, slowly catching up with all you peeps out there. Reading my books – and my lord I’m having some good reads. This week, I completed The Everlasting by Alix E Harrow – if any book was going to bring me to tears it would be this. Absolutely brilliant. I loved it.
Next Week’s reads
I’d like to read The Blackfire Blade by James Logan because I feel like I’ve been bursting at the seams to pick this up for so long now. And, maybe I’ll have time to pick up The Austen Christmas Murders by Jessica Bull – I’m really enjoying this series.

King Sorrow by Joe Hill (spoiler alert – this book is phenomenal)

Books read this week:
I’ve had another busy week so not as much reading as I would have liked. I’m making good progress with blog hopping and catching up with comments and shall continue with that this week. I still have quite a few reviews to post, I think I’ll maybe have to double up here and there. This week I read The Naked Light by Bridget Collins, I did struggle a little with this although it had all the components of a novel that usually have me falling over myself to pick up so I’m not sure why. I also read and really enjoyed The Cold House by AG Slatter and I’m now reading House of Splinters by Laura Purcell.
Next Week’s Reads:
Complete House of Splinters by Laura Purcell and then maybe pick up Cinder House by Freya Marske.
