How’s it been another week already?! Yet, here we are… It’s felt like a busy week, I’m not sure how much reading I even got done. I guess we’ll find out as I write this post!

Books read this week:
Reviews posted:
–Sixteen Ways to Defend a Walled City, by K.J. Parker. I ended up entirely on the fence about this on just about every point. I didn’t dislike it, but I didn’t love it. 3/5 stars
–Inheritors of the Earth, by Chris D. Thomas. I found myself in agreement with so much of this. Smart, hopeful, and unexpected. 4/5 stars
–In An Absent Dream, by Seanan McGuire. On one level this really stuck with me — am I giving fair value? But at the same time I felt like there was a distance that got in my way. 3/5 stars
–Uprooted, by Naomi Novik. Sat down and just steamed through rereading this, though I still have some reservations! 4/5 stars
–Snowspelled, by Stephanie Burgis. A short bit of fun with an interesting world we barely get to glimpse! 3/5 stars
–The Incredible Crime, by Lois Austen-Leigh. Meehhhh. Horrible romance plot and not that fascinating a mystery. 2/5 stars
–Magic Bites, by Ilona Andrews. A very fun reread. I do enjoy the worldbuilding a lot. 4/5 stars

–Trail of Lightning Readalong. My thoughts on the first week of questions!
–WWW Wednesday. The usual weekly update!
By the way, if anyone wants to hang out on a site that’s a bit like Twitter for books, a bit more like Instagram solely for books, Litsy’s now on the web as well as on mobile! Find me here!
How’s everyone doing? Busy week? Dead tired? Good book? Let me know!
Litsy looks like fun! I like the idea of keeping it away from Google as well. I might just think about signing up when time allows as I’m only really on Twitter so I can follow a few series I like and watch the football tweets each weekend!
I love Litsy! It’s so restful compared to Twitter, haha.
LITSY WENT ON WEB?
Ahem. What a week. I’m drowning at work, so not Wyrd and Wondering as much as I’d like but loving the bits I’m ducking in and out of! I am forcing myself to pace my reading on the read-alongs by chewing through some Subjective Chaos nominees at the same time, which isn’t necessarily doing the nominees any favours (nothing like force-feeding yourself a book you’re not enjoying anyway when you’ve got a reread on the go that you love). Absolutely knackered though; this job is sapping my energy big time, which is a bit of a worry as I’m off to Chicago next weekend where I’m expected to be sparkly and clever. Erm 😀 Maybe I can sleep on the plane 😉
imyril recently posted…The Ninth Rain Read-along: week one
It did!
I wanted to read more solidly for Wyrd & Wonder, but it’s fallen apart a bit this week. Still, I can get back into it! *waves books excitedly*
Woohoo, Storm of Locusts! I liked it even better than the first one!
Ooh, good to know…
