Weekly Wrap Up : 3rd November 2019
Finally, I’m back to my weekly wrap ups. Did I mention that I had issues in October? No??? Only joking, I’m not going into it again I promise but it is good to get back to a weekly recap because I seriously need these to try and keep me on track – it might not always work but for the most part it keeps me focused. Anyway, hope you’ve all had a good week and that you have another good one this forthcoming week.

Weekly Wrap Up : 29th September 2019
Another week slips by, two books read, I’m also onto my final book of the third batch of books for SPFBO and so will be posting a feedback post soon followed by a post outlining my fourth batch of books. So far I’m sticking to schedule. I need to write up a few reviews to catch up which is something I’ll be working on today. My wifi signal may become a little dodgy next week so I’m going to schedule a few posts just in case, if I disappear for a while that’s hopefully the reason why – and I’ve not been sucked into a black hole or abducted by aliens.
Hope you’ve all had a good week and that you have another good one this forthcoming week.
My books:
- Violet by Scott Thomas
- The Bone Ships by RJ Barker

Weekly Wrap Up : 22nd September 2019
Its difficult to believe but in just one more week we will be three quarters of the way through the year 2020. It’s strange how quickly this year is flying by and looking at my progress in reading this year so far I make it that I’ve read 85 books including this past week so my 100 books per year should be achievable. I hope everyone has had a good week. I’ve managed to read two of the three books I set for myself this week – these two books couldn’t have been more different in style and story and yet I enjoyed both. And, I still haven’t got to the Dragon Republic – I seem to keep rolling it forward, I think I’m scared to be happy because I’ve seen nothing but positive reviews so I need to pick it up soon. I also need to crack out a few reviews. I’ve started my fourth SPFBO book for the month and should have an update by the end of the month and that and the other two from my third batch. I posted my half way point summary which can be found here.
My books:
- The Resurrectionist of Caligo by Wendy Trimboli, Alicia Zaloga
- The World That We Knew by Alice Hoffman
Next scheduled reads:
- The Dragon Republic by RF Kuang
- Violet by Scott Thomas
- The Bone Ships by RJ Barker
Upcoming reviews
- King of the Road by RS Belcher
- Queenslayer by Sebastien DeCastell
- The Witch Who Courted Death by Maria Lewis
- Strange Practice by Vivian Shaw
- Bone China by Laura Purcell
- The Resurrectionist of Caligo by Wendy Trimboli, Alicia Zaloga
- The World That We Knew by Alice Hoffman
I’d love to know what you’re reading this week.
