Weekend again, wooo! Not sure yet what (if any) plans I have, other than helping move some unpacked boxes to our storage unit and some old packaging and boxes that can’t be re-used to the tip (the house looks so much bigger now we’re getting more unpacked!). Probably mostly reading and gaming, which will be nice.
Books acquired this week
A few library books first, from an impromptu trip to the library!
I actually read the first two sat at a coffee shop after a long bike ride that ended with a stop at the library before going home. They were quick reads, but also I was there a while due to tiredness, ahaha.
I’ve been meaning to read Queer as Folklore for a while, so that was what I was at the library to pick up. The other two were incidental. I haven’t dug into it yet, but I’m curious for sure.
Other than that, I also got this month’s British Library Crime Classic, this time by an author I knew but not for crime fiction!
I’ve already finished this one; it was fun, but not special.

What I’m reading
It doesn’t feel like I’ve been reading a lot this week, but I did finish a few books, so let’s see the sneak peek of the ones I plan to review for the blog:
Not sure what I’ll be reading this weekend, but as ever, I’ll be following my whim. It might feature reading more of T. Kingfisher’s Paladin’s Strength, rereading volume three of The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System… or something else entirely.
Linking up with Reading Reality’s Stacking the Shelves, Caffeinated Reviewer’s The Sunday Post, and the Sunday Salon over at Readerbuzz, as usual!
