Greetings, folks! Well, my time off is over and I’ve been back to work for a couple of days… but I think I did manage to unwind a bit and figure out some better ways of having a work/life balance. I didn’t finish a lot of books, but I managed to go “as my Whimsy takes me” more than usual. So maybe I’ve de-stressed a bit!
On the other hand, my course has now started and I’ve added an hour or two of studying per day to my schedule. Yipes.
Books acquired:
Yaaay! Thanks so much to the person who bought me Cemetery Boys. <3

That’s it for this week! How’s everyone doing?
The Widow of Rose House looks like one for me. I am also curious about The Firebird. Enjoy your week and your books, and thanks for visiting my blog.

The Widow of Rose House was a lot of fun! The Firebird worked less well for me, but I bet a lot of people love it.
Good luck with your class! I hope it goes well. It’s always an adjustment when it’s time to study again. 🙂
I like the look of The Stone Knife.

I hear great things about Anna Stephens’ work, and the setting sounds interesting, so here’s hoping it lives up. 😀
So far I’m greatly enjoying studying again, but I haven’t really hit the difficult stuff I’ve never done before yet…
Happy studying, you’ll be fine!

So far so good, haha. At least I haven’t been out of the studying world long this time!
I am glad you were able to de-stress a bit during your time off. It never seems quite long enough, does it? I hope your class goes well. Your new books sound good! I hope you enjoy them. I love the cover of The Stone Knife. I am not familiar with the other two, but I couldn’t resist looking them. Cemetery Boys sounds awesome. I can see why you are excited to read that one. I also really like the sound of The Sugared Game–historical mystery/romance–a winning combination.
I am so glad you enjoyed Clarke’s Piranesi. I have been wanting to read that one. It’s disappointing, however, that Kearsley’s book wasn’t better for you. I haven’t read that one yet myself. I look forward to reading your thoughts on The Widow of Rose House. That one is on my wish list.
I hope you have a great week, Nicky!

Thanks for dropping by! 😀 I’m really looking forward to The Sugared Game — K.J. Charles writes some wonderful characters.
And oh, hope you get chance to read Piranesi soon! I loved it.
