Hello!

I hope everyone is having a good week so far. I have now finished teaching for a bit so I am hoping to get loads of reading done. I’m actually quite impressed with my reading so far this week.

What I am Currently Reading

I’m still doing my daily reading of The Fires of Heaven but I will be honest that I am not always managing a chapter. Cleopatra and Frankenstein is now a 100 pages in and I’m still not sure whether I like it or not. I will continue with it for a little longer.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

Absolutely loved these two books! Review for Nightflyers will hopefully be posted tomorrow. Review for Blade Breaker is here.

What I Think I will Read Next

As per usual I am never entirely sure what I will read next but it is highly likely it might be one of these books.

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

Happy Reading

Hello!

I hope everyone has had a good start to the week. Sadly, the weather has kept me out of the garden today but I have been busy doing some teaching and chores.

My chosen book to feature this week is one I have recently purchased but one that I want to read as soon as possible because it looks really interesting.

Medea longs for a different life. Since childhood, she has been separated from her sister, shunned by her mother, and persecuted and tormented by her brother and father. All because of a unique and dangerous witchcraft.

But when a dashing young hero, Jason, arrives to claim the famed Golden Fleece that her father fiercely protects, Medea sees her opportunity for escape. Her offer to help Jason overcome the trials set by her father sets in motion a journey that will test every ounce of her strength, magic and loyalty; a journey that will see her battle monsters, dethrone kings and fall in love.

But when faced with the ultimate betrayal, Medea is driven to an act of desperation so brutal it rips apart the lives of everyone involved…

Happy Monday!

I have had a glorious day working in the garden in the sunshine. It is so nice to finally have some sun and no rain! I am really hoping to actually use my garden this year so I am working hard to tame it so I can happily sit in the sunshine reading a good book during the summer. There is a lot of work to do before I get to this stage.

My chosen book to feature off my TBR this week is one that I bought relatively recently and hope to read soon.

334 BC. Alexander the Great is just twenty-one years old when he sets out with a small army to challenge Persia, the largest and most powerful empire in the world.

Together, his Macedonian army marches East into the unknown – winning battles against overwhelming odds, storming impregnable fortresses from the Aegean through to India.

But there is another Alexander. Prince of the Macedonian royal house of Lyncestis, he becomes Alexander the Great’s general and most trusted friend.

Alexander of Lyncestis is between this friendship and the duty to avenge his murdered brothers. And he is under threat, too. Others – Persians, Greeks, Macedonians – see him him as a rival for the throne. For six years of conspiracy and battle, his life hangs by a thread.

For Alexander of Lyncestis is the Shadow King.

Hello!

I had a great day reading yesterday but this was sadly because I had caught some sort of bug and felt really rough so all I did was curl up on the sofa and read my book.

What I am Currently Reading

I’m still plodding along with The Fires of Heaven and I am really enjoying it so far. I read the first 100 pages of Blade Breaker yesterday and couldn’t put it down, sadly I haven’t done so well today but that is due to work.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found it a really clever read. Here is my review if anybody is interested.

What I Think I will Read Next

As per usual I have no real idea what I want to read next but I am craving a nonfiction read so I might go down that route.

Goodreads Monday: 4/3/2024

Goodreads Monday is now hosted by Budget Tales Book Club. All you have to do is show off a book from your TBR that you’re looking forward to reading.

Hello my fellow Book Dragons!

I hope everyone has had a good start to the week so far. I have had a good day teaching and making up Etsy orders. I have also managed some reading but sadly not much.

My chosen book today is a recent addition to my TBR but one I hope to read soon.

Change your fate—or kneel to it. The Companions are scattered and hopeless, torn from each other. After Corayne barely escapes with her life, she must forge on alone, leaving her blade broken and her allies behind her. Her only consolation—Corayne now has Taristan’s sword, the only Spindleblade left in existence. Without it, he can’t rip open any more Spindles. Without it, he can’t end the world. But Taristan and Queen Erida will not be defeated so easily. Both will burn the world to bring down Corayne—and bring forth their demon god, What Waits, ready to claim the realm of Allward for his own. In a final clash between kingdoms and gods, all must rise to fight—or be destroyed. Everything has come to this. Prepare for a larger-than-life, unforgettable finale to the instant New York Times bestselling Realm Breaker series, where a shattered alliance must rise from the ashes to make their final stand against a ruthless enemy…and the demon god who looks to shroud the entire world in darkness.

March 2024 TBR

Hello!

I hope everyone has had a nice weekend so far. I have had a lovely day of reading today. It was so nice to just be able to sit and read for a couple of hours.

I will be honest February’s TBR didn’t go to plan but I’m really hoping I manage to do better with this TBR for March.

I am going to try and get Blade Breaker read this month as I failed last month. The Seven Dials Mystery is my next Agatha Christie challenge read.

I have also started my next book in The Wheel of Time series so my chapter a month challenge continues.

Hello!

I hope everyone is having a good week so far. Today has been a particularly awful day at school which also meant I missed my precious reading time during my lunch break. I’m really hoping for a nice peaceful day off tomorrow which will also involve some reading.

What I am Currently Reading

I started The Fires of Heaven this morning and will be continuing with my challenge of reading a chapter a day of The Wheel of Time series. The Daughter of Doctor Moreau is going really well so far and I am really enjoying it.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

Finally finished my first Wheel of Time book of the year and thoroughly enjoyed it. Here is my review.

What I Think I will Read Next

As per usual I have no idea what I will read next but these are some possible contenders.

Goodreads Monday: 26/2/2024

Goodreads Monday is now hosted by Budget Tales Book Club. All you have to do is show off a book from your TBR that you’re looking forward to reading.

Happy Monday!

I hope everyone has had a good start to the week. My day has been rather long with lots of teaching but I did manage to do some reading today.

My chosen book to feature this week is another that has been sat on my TBR for way too long.

At first glance, the world has not changed: the trams on the boulevards, the grand hotels, the cafes abuzz with conversation. The street kids still play on the two great bridges that divide the city, and the smart set still venture down to the Morgue Ship for an evening’s entertainment.

Yet it only takes a spark to ignite a revolution.

For young Dora, a maid at the university, the moment brings liberation. She finds herself walking out with one of the student radicals, Robert, free to investigate what her brother Ambrose may have seen at the Institute for Psykical Research before he died.

But it is another establishment that Dora is given to look after, The Museum of the Worker. This strange, forgotten edifice is occupied by waxwork tableaux of miners, nurses, shopkeepers and other disturbingly lifelike figures.

As the revolution and counter-revolution outside unleash forces of love, betrayal, magic and terrifying darkness, Dora’s search for the truth behind a mystery that she has long concealed will unravel a monstrous conspiracy and bring her to the very edge of worlds.

Stacking the Shelves: 24/2/2024

Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Marlene of Reading Reality. It is all about sharing the books that you have recently added to your bookshelves. These books can be physical books, ebooks and of course audiobooks.

Hello!

I have been book buying which is very naughty and going against my plan for less book buying this year. On Thursday I went to Ely for the first time and discovered Toppings. Now as you all know I love Toppings in Bath so obviously I had to see the Ely branch. This led to buying some books. Two books I bought for my husband and two I bought for myself.

The Seven Dials Mystery by Agatha Christie – This is my next Agatha Christie read in my challenge so I was quite pleased to find it in the shop.
Nightflyers by George R. R. Martin – I really like Martin’s work and it is nice to read his books that aren’t Game of Thrones related.

I’m really hoping I get around to reading these soon as they are both rather short so shouldn’t take me too long to read.

Hello!

How is everyone’s week so far? I was overjoyed to actually finish a book this week. I really do feel like I am slacking with my reading at the moment but I just seem to struggle for time.

What I am Currently Reading

I’ve decided for the rest of the week I am going to push ahead with this book and get it finished. I am really enjoying it and I’m so close to the end that a chapter a day is far too restraining.

What I have Recently Finished Reading

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it is my first 5 out of 5 Dragons read of 2024. Here is the review if anybody is interested.

What I Think I will Read Next

As usual I’m not sure what I will read next but here are a few contenders.
