Books read this week:

I’ve struggled a bit this week. Although I’ve made really good progress on blog hopping and catching up with comments.  I’ve read and loved one of my review books, the conclusion to Sarah Pinborough’s Tales From the Kingdoms series (I think it’s the conclusion, it certainly reads like a traditional fairytale ending).  I adore this series of fairytales reimagined, they’re wickedly good fun.  On the other hand I’m reading the Courting of Bristol Keats by Mary E Pearson.  I was really hooked to this when it started.  The writing is so lovely.  But, I can’t deny that my progress is very slow, there’s something about it that feels over indulgent and drawn out, and it just feels so familiar.  Plus, the fae, they’ve morphed into normal everyday humans.  It doesn’t feel like a fae world, it feels more like a training academy with a bit of magic.  Anyway, that probably sounds very negative which isn’t my intention but I am on the verge of DNF’ing this – the only thing atm that’s keeping me going is that I’ve already read 50% which feels like such a commitment that I really ought to finish – I’ll just have to read this little by little and pick up other books at the same time.

Next Week’s Reads:

I didn’t really make progress with Fury of the Gods – mainly because I was trying to plough through Bristol Keats.  I’ll hopefully be getting back to that this week.  Also I still have The Last Hour Between Worlds by Melissa Caruso to start, and, I was approved for Jen Williams Titanchild – which is the conclusion to her talon duology.  I’m really looking forward to that.
