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!

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.
