Booking Ahead/Weekly Wrap Up

Books read this week:

It’s been a busy week.  The time is flying.  It’s already been three and a half weeks since my hip replacement, I’m exercising and already getting about without any walking aids – just taking it easy and being careful.  Little by little. I’ve also had a really good reading week and managed to catch up with comments and blog hopping, not quite fully caught up yet, and I do have a lot of reviews to post, but I’m getting there.  This week I’ve completed the two books I’d already started – and really enjoyed both – The Dead Husband Cookbook by Danielle Valentine (that ending!) and Forget Me Not by Stacy Willingham (scary and twisted).  I also picked up and really enjoyed the second instalment in the Echo Archives series by Melissa Caruso – The Last Soul Among Wolves.  I did also pick up Aphrodite by Phoenicia Rogerson but this one isn’t working for me at the moment so I’ve put it aside for now.

Next Week’s Reads:

I have two more August review books left to read – Damned by Genevieve Cogman and This Vicious Hunger by Francesca May so these will be my next reads.  I’ve also started a new audio book called This Monster of Mine by Shalini Abeysekara.

It’s been quiet on the blog and I’ve missed one of my weekly wrap ups so today will be a double.  Basically, I’ve had hip replacement surgery and so have been a little out of action. I think everything is going well though and I’ve certainly been doing lots of reading so let’s take a look at the books I’ve picked up recently.

I completed and really enjoyed The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig – the audio book was very good.  I also finished and, again, really enjoyed It Was Her House First by Cherie Priest.  I read My Ex, the AntiChrist by Craig DiLouie which was another very good read that I enjoyed the style of storytelling and I completed Another Fine Mess by Lindy Ryan.  I picked up and read about 50% of The Library at Hellebore by Cassandra Khaw – this one didn’t work for me and I’ve decided it’s a DNF.  I really wanted to complete it but seriously I can’t.  It’s just not my style.  Finally I’ve managed to complete Fateless by Julie Kagawa – action packed and enjoyable if a little generic.  This means I’ve completed my July reads and can move onto August review titles.  Woot. (Although I need to press on with reviews now to catch up).

Next Week’s Reads:

I think I’ll pick up The Bone Raiders by Jackson Ford and I also have the audio version of The Dead Husband Cookbook by Danielle Valentine.

Another week of lovely weather.  Time spent with friends.  And, some good reading.  I read The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst – this is a very cosy, sweet read.  I maybe didn’t enjoy it quite as much as The Spellshop but it was still a warm hug.  I also started to listen to The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig which I’m really enjoying so far.  Next I picked up It Was Her House First by Cherie Priest – this is really good so far and it’s proving to be a quick read, I’m already halfway through.    So, what have you been reading??

Next Week’s Reads:

Hopefully complete The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig, I think I’ll probably complete the Cherie Priest book this evening and next on my shelves I’m thinking to read My Ex, the AntiChrist by Craig DiLouie – I’m really excited to read this one.  I then need to decide between either Another Fine Mess by Lindy Ryan or The Library at Hellebore by Cassandra Khaw.

I’ve had a very busy week this past week, and the weather has been very warm!  So, I haven’t got on with much reading unfortunately.  I’m still reading A Far Better Thing by HG Parry – the writing is so good.  I’ll probably finish it this evening.

Next Week’s Reads:

Hoping to read Paved With Good Intentions by Peter McLean in, and time allowing I’ll be listening to some more of Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry.

This week my reading and blogging has been slow – but this is because we have a visitor and will also have another visitor next week so time seems to simply fly.  I’m still listening to Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry – I’m going to go against popular opinion with this one and say I’ve not fully bought into this one yet.  There’s still time though so who knows.  I finished Swordheart by T Kingfisher and absolutely loved it, so I now have two series that I’m desperate to continue with – both by Kingfisher.  I am now reading A Far Better Thing by HG Parry – and I’m loving it.  I’ve literally read over 30% in one sitting so I think I’ll make good progress with this one.

Next Week’s Reads:

Hoping to complete A Far Better Thing by HG Parry, I’m also confident that I can fit Paved With Good Intentions by Peter McLean in, and time allowing I’ll be listening to some more of Shield of Sparrows by Devney Perry.
