Hurrah, it’s the weekend! I hope everyone has fun plans.
Books acquired this week
Somehow it’s that time of month again already — my British Library Crime Classic subscription book has arrived! It’s quite the chonker, and not one I’d heard of before. My curiosity is piqued. In addition, two preorders came along, one via the mail and one landing on my ereader: I believe volume 13 wraps up the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation manhua, while Nobody’s Baby is a sequel to a book I quite enjoyed.
 
So I’ll have to get busy to re-clear the decks ready for my graduation spree at the end of the month!

What I’m reading
As usual, let’s start with what I’ve been reading with a sneak peek at the books I’m going to review on the blog sometime soon:
There were a couple of rereads too, as I prepared myself for the newest Singing Hills novella. All in all, a pretty good reading week, even if I had trouble concentrating for a couple of days due to pain after a dental procedure. (I’m doing better now, though it still hurts to chew!)
As for this weekend, I’m planning to read the remaining volumes of the Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation manhua adaptation. I might also start on T. Kingfisher’s Swordheart, since I have Daggerbound to review.
But, as ever… it’ll be down to my whim.
Linking up with Reading Reality’s Stacking the Shelves, Caffeinated Reviewer’s The Sunday Post, the Sunday Salon over at Readerbuzz, and It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? at The Book Date.
I need to read Swordheart too. I bought the fancy sprayed edges edition so I really should get to it! Enjoy your books this week
2025 and 2026 are apparently the years of T. Kingfisher for me, ahaha.
Something is wrong with the link to Stacking the Shelves and I don’t know how to tell the blog owner.

Do you mean the linkup? You could just comment on their blog — someone else already has.
Hope you have a great week!
Thanks!
I have the Twigs Traveling Tomes aRC as well but it will be at least two months til I get to it. April is just packed with releases I need to get to.
Wishing you a great reading week

I try not to let release dates bully me, ahaha. Too much of a mood reader for that.
I’ve been seeing Nobody’s Baby around and thought it looked interesting. I didn’t realize it was a sequel. I need to get out to check reviews. Hope you have a good week!

It’s a fun series, I do recommend giving it a shot!
I totally feel you on the dental procedure after 2 weeks of not feeling like myself after mine in February. I hope this week is better with some great reading.

Thanks! It was only some fillings (albeit some really big ones), but they just haven’t settled. Saw a dentist today to change the bite a little bit and hopefully that’ll sort it…
Pain after a dental procedure sounds horrible! I’m glad you have lots of good books to read.

I think it’s slowly starting to get better after a bit of an adjustment on Monday, but oof, I’m ready to never think about my teeth again, to be honest!
My brother-in-law was a dentist, and it was so wonderful to get teeth troubles fixed by him. He had a kind of magic with patients. Now, though, he’s retired.
I hope you had a good weekend!

When I was in my teens, I got a new dentist who was really great and helped a lot with my phobia (after my childhood dentist was, in retrospect, pretty abusive). But now he’s retired and only does charity dental work, aaaah. I miss him.
