Wooo, weekend! This one feels much-needed.

Books acquired this week

Just one this week! I’ve been waiting for this book for a bit, so hurrah for its arrival:

I need to read it soon because I’m considering it as a Christmas gift for someone, so I might get started very soon.

What I’m reading

I’ve had a pretty slow reading week! I had quite a few books in progress at once, but I didn’t finish a lot, since I wasn’t really in the mood (in part because my attention got swallowed by playing the game Dispatch). Ah well! Here are the books I did finish and intend to review on the blog:

I’m not sure what I’ll be reading this weekend, to be honest. I have several books on the go, so I’d like to finish some of them! First target: probably As If By Magic, a collection of classic crime stories. But we’ll see how it goes.
