Well folks, it’s the weekend again! How’s everyone doing? I’ve had a few more review copies (are publicists going mad with power, just giving everyone books to make them stay home?!) and I’ve done a bit of reading, but not much. Still, feels like I’m getting back to normal a bit.
Linked up with The Sunday Post @ The Caffeinated Reviewer & Stacking the Shelves @ Reading Reality and Tynga’s Reviews.
Books received to review:
Like I said, publicists going mad with power…
Books acquired:
I got some book vouchers to help cheer me up, which both did the trick and flooded my shelves! This is just a selection — I might share the others next week!
Books finished this week:
Reviews posted this week:
–Provenance, by Ann Leckie. Review from my reread last year. Unsurprisingly, I still loved it. 5/5 stars
–The Masked City, by Genevieve Cogman. Another reread review from last year. Probably my favourite of the series so far. 4/5 stars
–Walking to Aldebaran, by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Sort of not my thing, but very satisfying in other ways all the same. 4/5 stars
–Castle Skull, by John Dickson Carr. I… should stop trying to read John Dickson Carr. 1/5 stars
–The Nine Lands, by Marie Brennan. Belated review. It’s a group of well-structured short stories that really work for me, but I maybe had some qualms about some of the borrowings from real history. 4/5 stars
Other posts:
–WWW Wednesday. In which I circled back to reading The Rules of Contagion, which was a bit too on the nose for me a couple weeks ago.
So that’s it. How’re you guys doing?
Now that would be funny! If publisists are doing their best to make sure we stay home 🙂 You got some great-looking books! I love the covers on all of them.
Stay safe and happy reading.

I’m looking forward to them. 😀 You too!
Ooo. That Shorefall cover looks creepy. Is it scary? I typically stay away from scary-ish books because I’m a big baby.
Thanks for visiting the blog!
I don’t recall the first book being creepy, particularly! Though it wasn’t a very welcoming world either.
Little Bookshop of Murder looks good. I’ve noticed that too – publicists seem to be approving more requests on NetGalley, but that’s kind of dangerous for me. LOL
Have a great week and stay safe!
Yeaaah, I fear I’ve bitten off more than I can chew as well. 😀 You too!
I went on a huge NetGalley bender and so far have been approved for everything – I was even getting approved last Sunday which almost never happens on the weekend. Six left that are pending, hopefully I get them this week.
Looks like a great haul for you, the bookshop/murder one looks fun. Hope you enjoy your new treasures!
Yep, that about matches with my experience. Welp, not complaining! 😀
Thanks!
Descendant of the Crane is eye-catching. Enjoy.
It has a lovely cover, doesn’t it? I’ve been eyeing it for a while!
LOL @ publicists going mad with power 😀 With the way NetGalley has exploded lately, it does feel that way sometimes and I’ve been having a lot of trouble resisting requesting ALL THE BOOKS. I’m reading Shorefall now and I’m really enjoying it!
I’m… being bad at that. ALL THE BOOKS!
I need a Foundryside cheat sheet. I’ve forgotten too much, I fear…
I’m getting a lot of contact from publicists too, but there just isn’t enough hours in the day or night!
Wishing you a great reading week, and good health
Ha, I think I’ve well overbooked myself. Oh well!
Same to you! 🙂
