Booking Ahead/Weekly Wrap Up

Sunday Post

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 last year 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:

Last week:

Another slow week –  in terms of reading and blogging (hectic in other ways) – but, although I’ve only completed one book this week it was such a good book that it has me on a book high at the moment.  I picked up Feral Creatures by Kira Jane Buxton and it was absolutely brilliant.  Better than the first imo – which I don’t see how it’s even possible but there we go.  I actually cried.  And the writing – wow.  Review to follow very soon.  I’ve also been continuing with The Empire’s Ruin which is also an amazing book, I’m about 75% in so should finish that this week.   I will also be completing my third SPFBO book – which does put me a little behind, to be honest I was hoping to do some reading this weekend but after a trip to the dentist my past three days have been all about the migraines! Not very pleasant and definitely no good for reading.

I need to finish my current SPFBO book and pick up the fourth in the batch.  I will be primarily concentrating on these for the next few days so that I can put together my update post.

Reviews Posted since last Sunday:

  1. Murder of Crows by Anne Bishop

Last week:

I’m very bad at the moment I must admit.  I just seem to be so busy that the blog, catching up and reading are going very slowly.  This is not deliberate, nor am I going on hiatus I just simply don’t have enough hours in the day at the moment.  I’ve kind of written August off and now remain hopeful that September will be much better for me.

This past week I read and enjoyed The Maleficent Seven and took part in the blog tour (thank you Angry Robots books).  I also completed another of my SPFBO books (so almost on track – phew).  I picked up Velvet Was the Night – as you may be aware (or not) I love the author but at the moment I’m struggling to get into this one.  I think it’s probably linked to my current weird and hectic August so I’m not giving up.  I’ve continued to read and love The Empire’s Ruin and I also started The Infernal Riddle of Thomas Peach – NGL – this is kind of hard work at the moment as it mimics (very well) the style of writing of the period in which it’s set.  Don’t get me wrong, I’ve read a lot of classics and enjoyed them but it can be difficult to get back into this form of writing.  We’ll see.  I think I’ll try something different this week.

I’m still going to be reading review books and also another SPFBO book.  But, I’m going to go for something a little different.  I have two review books that I’m really looking forward to – Feral Creatures by Kira Jane Buxton and The Women of Troy by Pat Baker.

Okay, supposedly my internet is restored.  Hopefully I will slowly but surely be catching up.  Yay.

I got off to a good week of reading.  I read Mrs Rochester’s Ghost.  I also read one of my SPFBO batch.  I continued with Empire’s Ruin and I’m onto the final straight and I also started the Maleficent Seven and I’m a quarter of the way in.

Continue with Empire’s Ruin by Brian Staveley, also complete The Maleficent Seven by Cameron Johnston. If I manage to complete those two then perhaps start Velvet was the Night by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.  What you all reading this week ??

Another week of naff internet and a post a day late – my life at the moment!.  My blog looks like I’ve gone on holiday.  I’m not responding to comments or blog hopping and in fact this post is a day late!  I keep being given reassurances that things are in motion – but basically, they lie!!  I’m beginning to have a general feeling of being ‘fobbed off’.  Oh well, worse things happen.  I’ve not read much this week because I’ve been busy with other life things.  I did manage to complete Paper and Blood by Kevin Hearne – I think Iron Druid fans can also prepare to be happy with this one  I’ve also continued with Empire’s Ruin.  I feel like this is taking me a long time to get through and yet this isn’t a reflection of my enjoyment.  It seems a much chunkier book than I realised.  I absolutely love the characters.  I shall continue with this this forthcoming week but also pick up a couple of others.

Continue with Empire’s Ruin by Brian Staveley – I will finish this even if it feels like it’s turning into a saga.  I’d also like to pick up Mrs Rochester’s Ghost by Lindsay Marcott and perhaps the Maleficent Seven by Cameron Johnston. What you all reading this week ??

This week was a bit poop.  My internet is absolutely pants so whilst I’ve managed to post things to the blog this has been achieved by using my mobile data.  Consequently I haven’t been blog hopping because this would just wipe me out.  Hopefully an engineer is paying a visit in the next few days so normal service may be resumed (fingers crossed).  I have posted four reviews this week though so all good on that front, I completed my second batch of SPFBO books and also read Triflers Need Not Apply by Camilla Bruce.  My buddy reads were a disaster this month (apologies to my lovely blogger buddies – I will do better this month).

Continue with Empire’s Ruin by Brian Staveley (which unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to pick up this last week) and also pick up Mrs Rochester’s Ghost by Lindsay Marcott or Paper and Blood by Kevin Hearne.  I will also be posting about my next four SPFBO reads.
