What I’m reading
It’s been a fairly busy week reading-wise, though mostly with graphic novels. Let’s take a look at the books I’ve finished which I plan to review on here…
As for what I’m reading this weekend… I reaaaally have to focus on any books left on my Book Spin Bingo card for October, if I want to get a blackout! My first focus is probably volume three of The Disabled Tyrant’s Beloved Pet Fish, and then Emily Tesh’s The Incandescent. But, as ever, we’ll see what happens!
Linking up with Reading Reality’s Stacking the Shelves, Caffeinated Reviewer’s The Sunday Post, and the Sunday Salon over at Readerbuzz.
You remind me that some day I should re-try reading graphic novels. I’ve never been able to relate to

There are so many different genres out there, so it can be worth trying — but sometimes it’s just the medium that doesn’t work for you. For me, I do find them fun, but I’m not a very visual person so some elements go over my head.
Good plans! Enjoy your reading!
Thank you!
I hope you enjoy all your books. The title Baking Bad made me laugh!
No new books this week, so I guess you meant my weekend reads… and sadly I didn’t get to either of those yet, ahaha. Baking Bad was… alright, but not a favourite.
Looking forward to some of your reviews, especially All of Us Murderers
Such a backlog of reviews to post, but we’ll get there eventually, ahaha.
When you review Baking Bad and Eating to Extinction I’d love to have you link them up with Foodies Read on my site. It is a monthly link up for reviews of books about food. The link will be at the top of page.
I’ll try to keep that in mind!
Good luck with your Book Spin Bingo! I hope you have a good week.

Thank you!
I hope you manajjge to get to Emily Tesh’s book – so far it’s my outstanding read of the year. Have a great week:).
I’m enjoying it!
I so hope you meet your goal of a full black out!
I’ve adored the Before the Coffee Gets Cold stories but do understand they are a… specific kind of story and I definitely had to be in a certain mood to dive in 🙂
Happy reading!

Here’s hoping! At least I’ll have a fun time getting there, or not.
Lots of reading! I’m trying but right now the home projects are taking up more time.

Alas, sometimes that’s the way. When we were moving I wasn’t reading much at all for a bit!
Hope you have a great week!

Here’s hoping I finish some more books fast, ahaha. Thanks!
I do hope you will participate in Nonfiction November this year. You read so many nonfiction books, and I’d love to see what you would consider your favorites of the year.
