Weekly Update 22.02
Hello, two blog posts in a row, who is she?? Welcome to my weekly update 22.02! I thought I would give a wee update on what I’ve been reading and listening to this week, and some of the books I was lucky enough to receive! Books Read The Ministry of Unladylike Activity by Robin Stevens I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this novel from Puffin the publisher. I love the Murder Most Unladylike series by Robin Stevens so I knew I would like this new series! Set in London in WWII the characters are fun and the murder mysteries are cleverly plotted. Buy from Waterstones or Bookshop.org…

Weekly Wrap Up 10/06
Hello, welcome to Weekly Wrap Up (10/06)! It’s sunny here in Edinburgh, if a bit windy, and I think we can say it’s summer soon? You never know with Scotland! Anyway here is what I’ve been reading and enjoying lately! Books Read Grass by Sheri S. Tepper I have had this science fiction classic on my TBR pile for a long time, and I finally decided to pick it up. It took me around 2 weeks to read it, which for me is quite a long time, but it is a dense one! Worth it though, it had a good plot! Buy from Waterstones or Bookshop.org Long Live Evil by…

Weekly Wrap Up 06/05
Hello, and thank you for reading another Weekly Wrap Up (06/05) post! I’m happy to report that after last week’s disaster of no books read, I did rather better this week! I also was lucky enough to receive a lovely stack of books for review, which I’ll chat about at the end! Let’s get on with the Weekly Wrap Up (06/05). Books Read The Stars Undying by Emery Robin This was a random pick up from the library for me, and I really enjoyed it! It’s a complex sci-fi novel, with plenty politics and religious debates. It reminded me of Arkady Martine’s A Memory Called Empire, which I loved when…

Weekly Wrap Up 29/04
Hello and welcome to another Weekly Wrap Up (24/04) post! This week has seen the beginning of some really nice spring-like weather in Edinburgh, and my inability to finish any books! I started and DNF-ed 2 books this week, so this will be a very brief wrap up! So, skipping the books read, we’re straight into currently reading! Currently Reading The Stars Undying by Emery Robin After failing to find a book to read, I decided to just pick up one of my library books that is due for return soon. This is a fun sci-fi, it reminds me a lot of Arkady Martine, and also slightly of Gideon the…
