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 we went away for a couple of days for a short break which was lovely. I’m still catching up but my reading has been good this week and I’ve managed to complete two books and I’m halfway through the third.
Books read this week:
As planned, I completed and reviewed The House with the Golden Door which I really enjoyed. I’ve also read Hide by Kiersten White and I’m just over 50% into my blog tour book which I’m keen to share more about.
Next Week’s Reads:
Complete my blog tour book. The possibilities after that are plenty. I have a number of review books to catch up with including the next Stoker-Wilde book : Land of the Dead and also Sea of Tranquility by Emily St John Mandell. Also I’m looking at Black Tide by KC Jones. Who knows, let’s see where the reading vibe takes me.
- The House with the Golden Door by Elodie Harper

So, today is a lovely day and we’re about to have a bbq with friends so this will be short and sweet. I’ve had a good reading week. Read the final episode in Mark Lawrence’s Book of the Ice – the Girl and the Moon – and it was a fantastic ending. I’ve started catching up with comments and doing some blog hopping – it will take me a little while to visit everyone and get uptodate but I will do it 😀 I hate the thought of missing a review for a brilliant book – nobody wants that do they!
Books read this week:
The Girl and the Moon by Mark Lawrence and Nettle and Bone by T Kingfisher.
Next Week’s Reads:
I didn’t manage to get to The Night They Vanished by Vanessa Savage so I’ll be picking that up. The House with the Golden Door by Elodie Harper is another book I’m really looking forward to and I have a surprise book that I’m joining a blog tour for that is really exciting.
- The Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne

I’ve been somewhat absent on the blog in the past couple of weeks. Long story short I’ve been helping my parents out a little and family issues have just taken over. Touch wood (or my dense noggin) things seem to be improving so I’m hoping that things will finally calm down and I can get back to reading and blogging. It has been a strange few months for sure and every time I get back on track something comes along to upset the apple cart. Fingers crossed for the rest of the year will be nice to me. In reading news I’ve finished my Gwynne read. I’ll be reviewing that tomorrow. All I can say is WOW. This book = mind blown. I am undone.
Books read this week:
The Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne. Literally, I beg you to read this series! The HotG has got to be not only one of the best reads so far this year but quite possibly one of my favourite top ten reads ever. Seriously. I don’t joke about these things. Just, please, pretty please with a cherry on top, if you love fantasy you simply must pick up this series.
Next Week’s Reads:
So, given the above, together with completing SPFBO (the finalist table is here – this year our winner is fantasy/romance which was a wonderful surprise – I’m rather behind on my reading so plan on going on a reading fury. Wish me luck. This week I’m going to mix it up and try and complete The Girl and the Moon by Mark Lawrence (one of my most anticipated books). Nettle and Bone by T Kingfisher. This is my first book by this author and I can’t deny the excitement is real. The Night They Vanished by Vanessa Savage to throw in a thriller and change the mood.
- The Iron Crown by LL MacRae
- Reign and Ruin by JD Evans

The Hunger of the Gods by John Gwynne (spoiler alert – it was most excellent!)

This week I’ve read another of my SPFBO finalists which means I have one more book to complete. For the next three weeks The Critiquing Chemist and I will hopefully be posting two reviews per week in order to make the timeline. I’ll also be continuing with my review books. Unfortunately my dad is still in hospital and this is having a very bad impact on my mum. I’m hoping that things improve soon.
Books read this week:
1 x SPFBO finalist

This week has had a few ups and downs culminating with my dad going into hospital. It’s a bit of a worrying time to say the least and I don’t think my mind is entirely focused. I’ve completed my SPFBO finalist and started finalist No.8. I haven’t read any of my review books so need to do some catching up. Unfortunately Pennyblade was not really working for me so I’ve set it to one side for the moment because clearly it could be related to my mood rather than the content of the book. I am hoping to pick up Seven Deaths of an Empire this week. Hope you’re all doing well?
Books read this week:
1 x SPFBO finalist
I will be reading another of my SPFBO finalists and also picking up Seven Deaths of an Empire by GR Matthews.
