The Weekly Brief

Hello!

I hope everyone is all ready for Christmas. I have been wrapping Christmas presents today but I’m still rather behind on the Christmas prep. However, the blogging and the reading has been going well this week.

It is time for my Christmas tradition of reading Nutcracker and Mouse King over Christmas so I have started reading this today.

Hello!

I finished teaching today so my Christmas holidays have officially started! I still have lots of playing jobs on the run up to Christmas but it is nice to have a break from teaching.

What I am Currently Reading

I’ve finally caught up with my poetry reading! Death Comes at Christmas is a bit hit and miss at the moment. Some stories are better than others.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

I’m doing really well with my reading at the moment and have finished several books. I’m also for the first time this year behind on my book reviews! Here is the review for Catherine de’ Medici: The Life and Times of the Serpent Queen.

What I Think I will Read Next

I’m still reading through my Christmas books so my next read will definitely be one of these.

Please drop me a comment with your WWW Wednesday and I will head over for a visit.

Hello!

I hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. I took a little break from the blog this week so there aren’t that many blog posts.

I’ve fallen slightly behind with my poetry reading because I forgot to take the book on holiday with me but I’m hoping to catch up soon. I’m thoroughly enjoying Murder at the Christmas Emporium so far.

Hello!

I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I have had a busy day teaching so I haven’t managed much reading but I plan to do more later.

What I am Currently Reading

I have been reading my poem a day from my new book and I find it a nice way to start the day. I have nearly finished Catherine De’Medici and I am already looking at my next read from Mary Hollingsworth.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

I read this little book yesterday as it is one of the books on my Christmas TBR list. Review will follow soon.

What I Think I will Read Next

Here is my planned reading for December but not sure what I will read first.

I am still absolutely obsessed with this book. It isn’t what you would call a fast read but I’m reading it whenever I have the chance.

Hello!

I can’t believe it is nearly December. I am still throughly enjoying my Nonfiction November reading and I might let it continue into December as well. However, I do have a lot of Christmas books planned for December.

What I am Currently Reading

Why have I never come across Mary Hollingsworth before? I can’t put the Catherine De’ Medici book down which does mean my Wheel of Time reading has been a little neglected recently.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

Really enjoyed these two books. Here is my review of Children of England.

What I Think I will Read Next

I suspect I will be into my Christmas reading next so here are some of the possibilities.

I started Catherine De’ Medici today and haven’t been able to put it down. I’m finding it so fascinating and love how Hollingsworth is telling her story.

I’m still plodding along with my Wheel of Time series each evening but my main reading is Children of England by Alison Weir. I am throughly enjoying Children of England so far and I am learning a great deal I did not know.

This took me a long time to read but I really enjoyed it. My review will follow soon.

My next read will definitely be one of these as I really want to read them but I’m not sure which one.
