Another weekly wrap up post.

This week has flown by.  Reading wise I read a couple of books.  Made about 30% progress on another, finished the final instalment of my readalong of Naamah’s Kiss and read the second instalment of Chimes at Midnight for one of my other readalongs (review to follow).

To my books:

Caraval by Stephanie Garber – I’ve completed this one and really enjoyed it.  My review to follow shortly.

Rosewater by Tade Thompson – about 30% into this book – very intriguing so far.

Heartstone by Elle Katharine White.  I really enjoyed this.  A retelling of Pride and Prejudice with dragons and other beasties.  Another book with the review to follow shortly.

 

My reading this week is hopefully going to include:

Dawn Study by Maria V Snyder – hello there!  The final instalment of the Poison Study series.  Oh hell yes.

Deadlight Jack by Mark Onspaugh – because apparently – ‘Worse things than gators lurk in the Louisiana swamp’

Department Zero by Mark Crilley. ‘THE END OF THE UNIVERSE IS ONLY A HOP, SKIP, AND SLIGHT STUMBLE-THROUGH-A-WORMHOLE AWAY’

And, finally, my cover compare this week:

I would say that the middle cover, being similar to the original style, is my favourite, but, in actual fact I have a strange love of this cover:

Are you looking forward to any of these books?

New Year new beginnings.  I’m hoping to do a very quick and short weekly wrap up that will quickly outline what I’ve read and what I’m hoping to read next, plus any other bits and pieces of information.

So, over the past week I’ve read the following books:

Defender by G X Todd – I really enjoyed this.  A post apocalyptic novel – it’s all about the voices inside your head!  Review to follow shortly.

Dusk or Dark or Dawn or Day by Seanan McGuire.  Another very good read by Ms McGuire.  Emotionally captivating with ghosts, witches, rats and fields of corn.  Review to follow shortly.

I’m currently reading:

Rosewater by Tade Thompson – I’ve only just started this one so it’s too early to say very much other than an intriguing story apparently about aliens!  Looking forward to reading more.

Caraval by Stephanie Garber – ‘Welcome to Caraval, where nothing is quite what it seems.’ – I can say straight away that I am loving this one.   I’ve read over 150 pages in one sitting already!

Cover compare:

I quite like all three of these but if I had to choose the first is my favourite.

Are you looking forward to any of these books?
