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:
Well, I’m slowly starting to catch up. I’ve started visiting all my lovely blogger buddies slowly but surely and my motto of the moment is ‘little by little’. In big news I’ve finished my SPFBO books – all fifteen of them. I’ll be posting reviews and an update very soon. I’ve also finished my buddy read book and absolutely loved it.
Next Week
This week I will be focusing on some of the review books that I’m behind with – I have some catching up to do!
- The Women of Troy by Pat Barker
Forthcoming Reviews:
- Murder of Crows by Anne Bishop
- The Empire’s Ruin by Brian Staveley
- A Girl Made of Air by Nydia Hetherington
- Little White Hands by Mark Cushen
- Out of the Dust by Joe Coates
- The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie
- The Throne Of Ice and Ash by JDL Rosell

Last week:
Last week I missed my update so I’ll double post this week. As per usual I am behind at the moment as a result of travelling to see family and friends. Still, good times – just, I am fed up with myself sometimes! Anyway. The past two weeks I’ve been pressing on with my reading although I need to sit down now and catch up with some reviews and blog hopping. The week before last I read By the Pact by Joanna Maciejewska and also The Women of Troy by Pat Barker. I’ve also read A Girl Made of Air by Nydia Hetherington, continued with my buddy read of Joe Abercrombie’s First Law (75% into this one now) and read one of my SPFBO books – Little White Hands by Mark Cushen.
Next Week
This week I’d like to complete my buddy read, read Wisdom of Crowds and pick up another SPFBO book – of course, we all know what ‘they’ say about the best laid plans.

Last week:
Last week I was absolutely determined to finish reading The Empire’s Ruin plus another of my SPFBO books and I’m pleased to report that I stuck with the plan. I loved Empire’s Ruin – yes, it took me a while to get through it but that wasn’t due to lack of enjoyment just that I was savouring it and it was a book that was very easy to step back into. I’m now almost half way through my fourth SPFBO book – I’ll then be onto my final three books – woot. I am a little behind and that’s why I’ve not been posting additional extras such as interviews and guest posts – I just want to forge ahead at the moment and catch up with my reading commitments and blog hopping.
Next Week
This week I’m hoping to complete my current SPFBO read and hopefully read The Women of Troy by Pat Barker.

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.

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.
- The Maleficent Seven by Cameron Johnnston
- Mrs Rochester’s Ghost by Lindsay Marcott
