What an odd week – I’ve been a bit out of the count due to illness so still in need of some catching up.  Reviews just don’t write themselves after all!  My reading this week has been a little bit slow although I did read Meagan Spooner’s Hunted which I loved and think it now takes the top spot for my favourite Beauty and the Beast reimagining.

Last week’s reads:

1. Hunted by Meagan Spooner

Currently reading:

1. Empress of the Fall by David Hair
2. Defence of Ráth Bládhma (Fionn mac Cumhaill #1) by Brian O’Sullivan (SPFBO book)

And, finally, my cover compare this week:something different – I thought I’d highlight the cover of one of my upcoming reads:

How was your week?  What you currently reading?

1. Windsinger by AFE Smith
2. Game of Shadows by Erika Lewis
3. The Winter Long by Seanan McGuire – completed the readalong

Currently reading:

1. Blood Upon the Sand by Bradley P Beaulieu
2. Larcourt by K A Krantz
3. Empress of the Fall by David Hair

And, finally, my cover compare this week: normally I compare two of the same covers this week however, there seems to be a lot of blue(ish) covers going on so I’m going to pick my favourite from the covers above:

My favourite cover is this one:

How was your week?  What you currently reading?

Well, this week my reading has taken an upward turn, which is good of course, after last week. What can you do – book hangovers!  But, this week.  This week people.  Such a lot of good reads.  Good.  Reads.

Last week’s reads:

• The Ninth Rain by Jen Williams
• Miranda and Caliban by Jacqueline Carey
• The Valiant by Lesley Livingston
• The Winter Long by Seanan McGuire (readalong week 2)

Woah – do all those covers look good together or what!!!

My favourite cover is this one:

I really like this cover – the font and the colours.

How was your week?  What you currently reading?

Well, this week my reading has virtually disappeared.  I don’t think I’ve ever read so little in one week for a very long time!  In fairness we went on a short trip to Iceland and sometimes your trips away are not the sort that involve chilling out with a book and a long drink!  In fact all my plans have gone along the route of ‘the best laid plans’.

Last week’s reads:

Danse Macabre by Laura M Hughes – thank you Laura for redeeming my reading slightly! This is a dark novelette and my review will follow.

Currently reading:

1. Blood Upon the Sand by Bradley P Beaulieu
2. The Ninth Rain by Jen Williams
3. The Winter Long by Seanan McGuire

Next week I’m hoping to complete two of the above!  And, perhaps start In Calabria by Peter S Beagle.

And, finally, my cover compare this week is Danse Macabre by Laura M Hughes:

My favourite cover is this one:

I like the title font for this (which is also the same on the first cover) but I like the colour contrast too.

How was your week?  What you currently reading?

So, this week, wow, I’ve been so busy in work that it’s taken over a little bit.  Still, them’s the breaks.  You have to be pragmatic, I work to pay the bills and buy the books!

Reading wise I’ve read With Blood Upon the Sand.  I’ve only just started In Calabria so that will be for the following week now.

Last week’s reads:

• With Blood Upon the Sand by Bradley P Beaulieu

Next week I’m hoping to complete:

1. In Calabria by Peter S Beagle
2. The Ninth Rain by Jen Williams (The Winnowing Flame Trilogy #1)

And, finally, my cover compare this week is a book that I’m hoping to squeeze in as a backburn book – we’ll see:
