Books read this week:
I’ve been so busy just recently that blogging and reading and everything has taken something of a backseat. That being said I’ve finished all my SPFBO Finalists and already posted three reviews – three more to follow this week. In my review books I finished Senseless by Ronald Malfi – the writing was, as ever, amazing but I’m not sure the story worked quite so well for me – it certainly veers into horror. I also started to read Sour Cherry by Natalia Theodoridou, I’ve read almost 50% of this but at the moment I’m not sure whether it’s winning me over or not. I do like the writing and the fairytale feel but it does seem to meander. On the other hand I picked up Paladins Grace by T Kingfisher just last night and I’ve already read 50%. I’m loving it. I think I’ll probably finish this later as I’m extremely reluctant to put it down. Hopefully things will calm down this next week and I shall be back to normal blogging and blog hopping.
Next Week’s Reads:
Complete Paladins Grace (no problems with that). I’m also hoping to pick up a book given to me recently by a friend and another review book – I’m thinking either The Maid’s Secret by Nita Prose or Gifted and Talented by Olivie Blake.

Books read this week:
This week I managed to complete two books. I finished The Vipers by Katy Hays and also completed A Fortune Most Fatal by Jessica Bull. I’ve now started A Letter to the Luminous Deep by Silvie Cathrall – I’m in the very early stages but hopefully going to read some more of that one this evening.
Next Week’s Reads:
Hopefully complete A Letter to the Luminous Deep by Silvie Cathrall and then I have one more review book to read this month and two SPFBO Finalists to complete before the end of March. So I’ll just see where the mood takes me.

This week has been busy. I’m well over the cold fortunately and out and about quite a bit so not too much reading unfortunately. Since my last update I’ve read and enjoyed Clockwork Boys by T Kingfisher. I started a few of my other reads but wasn’t getting on very well with anything. Obviously a mood thing. I’ve started The Vipers by Katy Hays which is so far quite good.
Next Week’s Reads:
Complete The Vipers by Katy Hays and also, hopefully, A Letter to the Luminous Deep by Sylvie Cathrall.

This week has been good in terms of reading – unfortunately, I seem to have caught a cold which is quite unpleasant but hopefully I’ll shake it off soon. I’ve been doing some catching up, visiting all your lovely blogs to see what I’ve missed and also responding to comments. I’ve posted two reviews this week and I probably need to post three more next week. I also need to make a start on reviewing my SPFBO books and I’m hoping to squeeze in one more title before the end of February. In books – I completed Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett. I’ve loved this series and this was a very satisfying conclusion (at least I think it’s the conclusion). I’ll be posting a review next week. I also read, and already reviewed, Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis. This was a lovely romantasy, cosy with low stakes. Check out my review here. I then picked up Black Woods, Blue Sky by Eowyn Ivey, this is quite a sad read, or at least that’s how I felt about it. Beautifully written and very atmospheric. Finally, I picked up Greenteeth by Molly O’Neill, which I’m absolutely loving and can’t wait to dive back into.
Finish Greenteeth and then I’d like to try and fit in one more review book and maybe another SPFBO finalist (perhaps one of the shorter books – there are some very chunky finalists this year).

So, this week was chaotic. So much going on and such a lot to do, it’s been fun but I’m hoping next week will be much quieter and finally give me the chance to catch up with a few things – maybe not everything. Since my last Sunday post I managed to complete the SPFBO finalist I was reading (I now have four finalists to review and rate which I’ll be getting round to soon). I also read The Crimson Road by AG Slatter which was fantastic, I absolutely loved it and will be posting about it shortly. I’ve also made a start on Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett.
Finish the Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales and then I have a few lovely books to choose from. I’m thinking I’d like to pick up The Sirens by Emilia Hart and also Black Woods, Blue Sky by Eowyn Ivey.
