Yay, weekend! And also: yay time off! I’m now off until the 29th, so let’s hope for lots of reading.
Books acquired this week
This week I received a generous gift of books for Christmas, so here they all are!
Quite the weird mix, which suits my reading tastes perfectly!
Posts from this week
I’ve eased off on posting the (already written) backlog reviews so I can maintain the variety, but there were still some review posts this week! Here goes the roundup:
- Poetry: Answering Back: Living Poets Reply to the Poetry of the Past, ed. Carol Ann Duffy (3/5 stars, “liked it”)
- Graphic novel: Glass Town, by Isabel Greenberg (2/5 stars, “it was okay”)
- Fantasy romance: Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (light novel), vol 1, by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu (3/5 stars, “liked it”)
- Mystery: Clues to Christabel, by Mary Fitt (4/5 stars, “really liked it”)
And of course there’s also these posts:
What I’m reading
It’s been a busy week for me at work, so I haven’t finished a lot, but let’s do the usual sneak peek at the books I intend to review:
As for this weekend, I’m really not sure yet, except that I want to finish Rowenna Miller’s The Palace of Illusions. Other than that, it’s as my whimsy takes me.
Linking up with Reading Reality’s Stacking the Shelves, Caffeinated Reviewer’s The Sunday Post, and the Sunday Salon over at Readerbuzz.
Ooh I want to read the Cat Sebastian book, it sounds lovely! Awesome book haul, enjoy
I hear lovely things about it!
Glad you found the books that fit your mood. Have a great holiday week.

Thank you!
I haven’t been reading much lately, either. I am having an odd month that way. Because I’m not baking either and all my shopping it done. Guess I’m just sitting around.
Happy Holidays.
