Hi everyone.   Hope you’ve had a good week.  I’ve had a good week if fairly quiet.  I’ve read a little and caught up on some of my reviews – but then of course if you’re still reading you’re never really catching up are you?  We’ve been watching some old black and white films – in fact we’ve decided to go on a mission to watch the top 250 films on IMDB.  We’ve already watched quite a few on there but this involves stepping out of our comfort zone to watch things we probably wouldn’t ordinarily choose.  So, in the past week we’ve watched Casablanca and Sunset Boulevard, which we hadn’t previously seen.  Difficult to believe and it feels like we’re probably the only people in the world not to have seen Casablanca – one thing that stands out immediately is the amount of quotes and sayings that clearly originated from that movie.  Wow.  Also, obviously these films are dated but they keep your attention and the stories are good – they have to be because they’re not simply relying on special effects.  I think the next two films on the list that we haven’t seen are Citizen Kane and North by Northwest.  Anyway, to the reading.  I’ve completed three books this week:

Books read:

  1. Semiosis by Sue Burke

  3. The Hunger by Alma Katsu

Next Week’s Reads:

Hi everyone.   Hope you’ve had a good week.  The weather here has been a bit naff the past week so curling up with a book seems to have been the order of the day.  Still a bit behind with reviews but I’m trying to catch up – of course it’s a vicious circle – as soon as I review something I read something else, so one step forward one step back.  Still, it’s not the worst problem to have now is it. 😀  So, I managed to read four books but that’s literally because I couldn’t put the RJ Barker books down.  Read them.

Books read:

  1. The Toymakers by Robert Dinsdale
  2. Mister Tender’s Girl by Carter Wilson
  3. Age of Assassins by R J Barker – which I loved
  4. Blood of Assassins by R J Barker – which I loved even more (how is this possible)

Next Week’s Reads:

  1. Semiosis by Sue Burke
  2. Between the Blade and the Heart by Amanda Hockig
  3. Planetfall by Emma Newman

Upcoming reviews:

  1. Starborn by Lucy Hounsom
  2. Envy of Angels by Matt Wallace
  3. Chaos Trims My Beard by Brett Herman
  4. The Chrysalids by John Wyndham (Vintage Sci Fi book)
  5. Paris Adrift by E.J. Swift
  6. Pilgrimage to Skara by Jonathan S Pembroke
  7. The Toymakers by Robert Dinsdale
  8. Mister Tender’s Girl by Carter Wilson
  9. Age of Assassins by R J Barker
  10. Blood of Assassins by R J Barker

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