The Week Ahead (#12)
I didn’t get to do one of these last week, so this Father’s Day I decided I should try to plan a little more in advance.
Monday
- A review of I, Morgana by Felicity Pulman. I saw this one on NetGalley and requested it on a whim and let’s just say it was not what I expected. At all.
Tuesday
- A review of The Crimson Crown by Cinda Williams Chima. Her Seven Realms series just keeps getting better and better but I’ll admit I was a little worried about how she would end things off. All in all I’m surprisingly satisfied with how she decided to end it, which is really all I can ask for in such a complicated series.
Wednesday
- A review of Sins of the Lost by Linda Poitevin. I actually got this through NetGalley months ago but didn’t have the time to read it. So lately I made the time to reread the first two books and finally read this third book in the Grigori Legacy series. But was it worth it?
Thursday
- My interview with David Litwack.
Friday
- Book Blast: The Cook’s Temptation by Joyce Wayne
- Book Blast: Wilder Than the Rest by Shirleen Davis
Saturday
- TBA
The Week Ahead (#11)
It’s been a heck of a week and since I just got finished watching today’s Game of Thrones episode I remembered that I should probably post today. So here’s what’s happening this week:
Monday
- A review of The Runaway Highlander by R. L. Syme. This is not what I’d normally read but I’ve been feeling in an adventurous mood lately.
Tuesday
- A review of The False Princess by Eilis O’Neal. I saw this one in the library one day and it looked pretty good so I checked it out. Hey, it was free and there’s usually not that many books I haven’t read in the local library.
Wednesday
- A review of If I Stay by Gayle Forman. Yep, I’m tackling yet another popular novel. This one I borrowed from the library as well on a whim and I figured I’d see what all of the fuss is about. Books rarely live up to the hype but maybe this one will be the exception.
Thursday
- A review of Stork by Wendy Delsol. I tried reading this last week but a friend of mine snatched it out of my hands and started reading it instead (we often do this to each other, so it’s okay). Now I finally have it back and have to read it in self-defense so she can talk to me about it without totally spoiling everything.
Friday
- Book Blast: Murder by Misrule by Anna Castle
- Book Blast: Paradise Coast by Renee Novelle
Saturday
- The Mad Review Reading Challenge Halfway Check-In.
The Week Ahead (#10)
Last week was tough for me in my personal life, what with my boss/mentor/role model passing away from leukemia. Understandably, my scheduling was a bit messed up but now I’m ready to try to get back to normal and start moving on.
Monday
- A review of Curses & Smoke by Vicky Alvear Shecter. I read Cleopatra’s Moon by the same author nearly a year ago and loved it so when I heard Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours was doing a tour for her latest book I had to sign up. We’ll see if it was worth it!
Tuesday
The latest installment in my writing pitfalls series called Writing Pitfalls: Pacing. Pacing is often a huge issue when it comes to books and I’d like to offer a little advice to authors who have trouble with it.
Wednesday
- A review of The Sekhmet Bed by L. M. Ironside. This is the missing review from last week. It was recommended to me by a friend when it was free on Amazon and it’s certainly one of the best books I’ve read in a long time.
Thursday
- A review of The Exiled Queen by Cinda Williams Chima. I’ve been rushing through her series lately and am currently on the final book so I think that’s a good indication of the quality.
Friday
- Book Blast: The Lost Duchess by Jenny Barden
Saturday
- Discussion: Unadaptable Books.
The Week Ahead (#9)
My post is a little late because things have been hectic here but I’m a subscriber to the belief things are better late than never.
Monday
A review of The Collector of Dying Breaths by M. J. Rose. I read this one several months ago but signed up for a spot later in the blog tour so I couldn’t review it until now. I’m excited to finally see my review go live!
Tuesday
A review of Intrinsical by Lani Woodland. This is also a blog tour book but I didn’t have nearly as much of a lead time with this one.
Wednesday
A review of Mistress of the Wind by Michelle Diener. I won this one in a giveaway and I loved Michelle Diener’s other books so I could really see no downside to reading this one.
Thursday
- A review of The Sekhmet Bed by L. M. Ironside. This was recommended to me by a friend when it was free on Amazon for a little while so I decided to check it out. Not much literature is devoted to Hatshepsut and even less is devoted to her mother Ahmose, so how could I resist?
Friday
- Book Blast: Puritan Witch: The REdemption of Rebecca Eames by Peni Jo Renner
- Book Blast: Duchess by Nicolette Andrews
Saturday
- Discussion: The Next Supernatural Creature Fad
The Week Ahead (#8)
Last week was pretty review heavy but this week is only going to have 3. Luckily, I’m having the wonderful Louise Turner over for an interview on Monday to keep things interesting.
Monday
- An interview with Louise Turner, author of Fire and Sword.
Tuesday
- A review of Daughter of the Gods by Stephanie Thornton. I just couldn’t resist reading another take on Hatshepsut and when I saw Stephanie Thornton was touring with Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tours I signed up immediately. Ancient Egypt is very, very hard to resist for me.
- Cover Reveal: Black Orchid by Abigail Owen.
Wednesday
- A review of The Legend of the Blue Eyes by B. Kristin McMichael. It was the cover that caught my attention on NetGalley and the blurb seemed full of promise so I figured I had nothing to lose in requesting it. Maybe McMichael would have a new take on vampires.
Thursday
- A review of A Dangerous Madness by Michelle Diener. After seeing that I loved her Susanna Horenbout series so much, Michelle Diener invited me to read her latest book set in England in the 1800s. Technically this is the third book in a series but they’re only a little bit related so you can read the books in any order.
Friday
- Book Blast: Curses & Smoke by Vicky Alvear Shecter
Saturday
- Discussion: Vampires.
