Good afternoon, folks! I hoped to do this yesterday, but I had work and other stuff that needed to be done, boo. So it’s been a quiet week around here, with a lot less reading.
Linking up with The Sunday Post @ The Caffeinated Reviewer and Stacking the Shelves @ Reading Reality & Tynga’s Reviews.
New books:
Thank you to my wife for two of these, and to Moon Dreams for Empire of Sand in her cool giveaway on Twitter! <3
I’m looking forward to a few different book orders (two indie bookshops, one second-hand bookshop) to come in, with great impatience. Feeling the need for some bookish comforts, at the moment!
Read this week:
Reviews posted this week:
–The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, by C.S. Lewis. Still pretty wonderful, to my mind! 4/5 stars
–A Treacherous Curse, by Deanna Raybourn. Bags of fun, as expected; the mystery’s kind of background to the will-they-won’t-they, for me. 4/5 stars
–The Silver Chair, by C.S. Lewis. Never my favourite, so not surprisingly, I still didn’t really jive with it. 2/5 stars
–The Steerswoman, by Rosemary Kirstein. Aarrgghhh so much I still want to know! 4/5 stars
–Grave Importance, by Vivian Shaw. Lovely lovely lovely. Excellent ending to the series, though I didn’t love one specific aspect of it. 4/5 stars
Other posts:
–WWW Wednesday. This week it was mostly about Grave Importance!
–Wyrd and Wonder: A TBR. Ready for May’s fantasy reading event!
Out and about:
–NEAT science: ‘Soap versus virus.‘ Been wondering why soap is the #1 recommendation to avoid catching SARS-CoV-2? A quick explanation of why soap is ideal.
There we go; that’s it for this week! How’s everyone doing?
I think the Raybourn books look awesome!
They’re a lot of fun! I’ve been enjoying them a lot. Thanks for dropping by!
Oh, got me curious about those Veronica Speedwell mysteries. Enjoy
They’re so much fun! I do recommend.
Grats on Empire of Sand! I enjoyed that one, though it might have been weaker because it was the first of a series and needed some time to develop…which reminds me, I should get cracking on the sequel.
I’m looking forward to it! I saw some very enthusiastic reviews.
