Hello again everyone. Hope you’ve had a good week. The weather has been absolutely horrible but the silver lining of bad weather is more reading. I’ve read three books this week and I have to confess I’m on a role – three really great reads. Limited Wish – the second instalment of Mark Lawrence’s time travelling sci fi which is a lot of fun and totally mind bending in a great way (how is that not a contradiction?). The 10th instalment of the Mercy Thompson series which I really enjoyed and really shook things up and finally The Corset by Laura Purcell – which absolutely blew me away – I loved it. In other news SPFBO5 is now live – and has already received over 250 entrants – in fact the tally as this post goes live is 264. Looks like there’s some strong competition and I’m looking forward to seeing which books and authors are in my group. So, here’s what I’ve been reading:
My books:
- Limited Wish by Mark Lawrence – 4.5 stars
- Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs – 4 stars
- The Corset by Laura Purcell – 5 stars
Next scheduled reads:
- The Whisper Man by Alex North
- Nocturna by Maya Motayne
- Across the Void by SK Vaughn
Upcoming reviews
- King of the Road by RS Belcher
- Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs
- The Fall by Tracy Townsend
- Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs
- The Corset by Laura Purcell
I’d love to know what you’re reading this week.
Weekly Wrap Up : 26th May 2019
I’m travelling around at the moment in the Highlands – which are stunning by the way – but with very little wifi where I’m staying – I’m tethering my phone to write up posts where possible but it takes forever to open people’s blogs so if I haven’t visited you that’s why – I haven’t disappeared off the face of the earth, been swallowed by a dragon or expired under an ever increasing tbr. In fact that’s why there was no weekly wrap up last week! So, two weeks in one. I’ve read five books in the past two weeks. In other news the SPFBO has concluded and the winner is Orconomics by J Zachary Pike: Here are my reads:
My books:
- The Poison Song by Jen Williams
- We Ride the Storm by Devin Madson
- Orconomics by J Zachary Pike
- Council by Snorri Kristjansson
- Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs
Next week’s reads:
- Nocturna by Maya Motayne
- The Red Stained Wings by Elizabeth Bear
- Across the Void by SK Vaughn
Upcoming reviews
- Dark Shores by Danielle L. Jensen
- King of the Road by RS Belcher

- Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs
I’d love to know what you’re reading this week.
Weekly Wrap Up : 12th May 2019
I have had a blast this week. Lots going on and plenty of walking and reading. I’ve read four books and really enjoyed them. A Brightness Long ago and Westside were absolutely stand out books that I really enjoyed – in fact I was sorry to see them end and I’m absolutely loving Belcher’s Brotherhood of the Wheel books – will there be more, curious minds need to know?? Of course, lots of reading does mean I’m slightly behind with reviews so I’ll hopefully be posting a few over the next few days. So, here’s my week in review:
My books:
- Dark Shores by Danielle L. Jensen
- Westside by WM Akers
- A Brightness Long Ago by Guy Gavriel Kay
- King of the Road by RS Belcher
