Another week just flew by didn’t it.  I’m not sure why everything is rushing past me at breakneck speed at the moment but there it is.  I can barely remember what we’ve been up to so I’ll move swiftly on.  SPFBO5 is very nearly underway – starts at the beginning of July and I’ll be posting about how I plan to handle things this time around – I’ve already posted my covers in preparation for the cover contest and just need to select my three favourites – there are some impressive covers for sure, check them out here.  This week I’ve read three books, I did go off plan a little but read two of my scheduled books.  The Whisper Man was brilliant, I loved it and in fact it totally creeped me out one night – I was actually scared to go to bed (obviously bear in mind that I’m a raging wuss so it might not be quite as scary for others)!  I also read Nocturna and will have a review for that one shortly.  It didn’t work out quite as well as I’d hoped but I think that could just be me or a mood thing.  Finally, I picked up, Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson – I just couldn’t resist all the glowing feedback it seems to be receiving and so far I’ve been really enjoying it.  I should have it finished before this post goes live so that makes a total of three books this week.  I did also start an audiobook but then was shockingly forgetful about listening to it whenever the opportunity arose.  Oh well, that’s what next week is for I suppose.  I’m a little behind with reviews but hoping to catch up with some next week which will make my blog seem a bit busier than normal (assuming I stick to my plans) but I would like to get back on track.

So, here’s what I’ve been reading:

I’d love to know what you’re reading this week.

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:

1. The Poison Song by Jen Williams
2. We Ride the Storm by Devin Madson
3. Orconomics by J Zachary Pike
4. Council by Snorri Kristjansson
5. Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs

Next week’s reads:

1. Nocturna by Maya Motayne
2. The Red Stained Wings by Elizabeth Bear
3. Across the Void by SK Vaughn

Upcoming reviews

2. King of the Road by RS Belcher

4. Council by Snorri Kristjansson
5. Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs

I’d love to know what you’re reading this week.

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:

1. Dark Shores by Danielle L. Jensen
2. Westside by WM Akers
