Good morning (just!). I’ve had a bit of a long week with some illness etc etc, but oh well — onward and upward!
New books this week
And that’ll be a big ol’ zero! I do have a bunch of books that I might request on Netgalley, but I’m waiting to have cleared the decks a little more first.
Posts from this week
As usual, let’s have a bit of a roundup…
- Fantasy graphic novel: I Feel Awful, Thanks, by Lara Pickle (2/5 stars)
- Fantasy: Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales, by Heather Fawcett (4/5 stars)
- Crime: Rocket to the Morgue, by Anthony Boucher (3/5 stars)
- Non-fiction: The Roads to Rome, by Catherine Fletcher (1/5 stars)
- Non-fiction: Blind Spot: Exploring and Educating on Blindness, by Maud Rowell (4/5 stars)
- Fantasy graphic novel: The Marble Queen, by Anna Kopp & Gabrielle Kari (2/5 stars)

And of course I also did a What Are You Reading Wednesday post, as usual!
What I’m reading
I’m not actually sure how much I’ve read this week, so let’s find out. Here’s the usual sneak peek at the books I’ll be reviewing on the blog… sometime soon (bearing in mind my massive backlog):
So quite a good week for reading! I’m hoping to fit in plenty more reading over the weekend: currently I’m deeply ensconced in A History of the World in Twelve Shipwrecks (David Gibbins), but I also want to read more of A Letter from the Lonesome Shore (Sylvie Cathrall), The Apothecary Diaries (Natsu Hyuuga) and… probably a bunch of others too.
Hope everyone has a great weekend, with exactly as much reading as they’d like!
Linking up with Reading Reality’s Stacking the Shelves, Caffeinated Reviewer’s The Sunday Post, and the Sunday Salon over at Readerbuzz, as usual!
When I read the first Emily Wilde book, I decided not to read the sequel.

But I enjoyed your review.
