Another stressful week interrupted by a bout of illness which left me unable to read much 😦
Challenges:
No increase in my tally for the TBR Double Dog so still at twelve books (although I have actually read fourteen in total). I didn’t finish anything this week and didn’t really make huge progress on those books I did start.
I read a couple of short stories on Kindle for the King’s March challenge.
In progress
As planned last week, I have made a very very slow start to Vanessa & Her Sister which I would really like to finish this coming week in preparation for the Bloomsbury event on 24 March, and I’m also about a quarter of the way through Cuckoo Song by Frances Hardinge.
The Jane Eyre Update
Haven’t started it yet because of illness but I have re-worked my reading plan and still think I can finish it in the six weeks before the book club discussions.
New Books
No new books this week, the embargo is holding with only two and a bit weeks to go 😀
This should be the last of the really horrible work weeks coming up and I feel much more inclined to read so hoping to make lots of progress.

I’m sorry to hear about the horrible work week and hope it gets better soon…and your reading too.

Thanks Bryan. The work stuff is finite (there’s an actual end date for the work I’m doing now) and the reading has improved already

Here’s to the end of the horrible work weeks! Why do we have these? Life is better than this.
Here’s my Sunday Salon!

My mantra is always I work to live rather than I live to work, but sometimes it does just get on top of you. But the end is definitely in sight for this part of the major project I’m working on and that helps.

Aw, I’m sorry work’s been rough and you’ve been ill. And I hope you’re feeling much better and coming close to the light at the end of that particular tunnel.
Are you enjoying Cuckoo Song? I thought it was terrific, myself!

I am, thank Jenny, that’s very kind 🙂 And I am also enjoying Cuckoo Song, though I haven’t made much progress because reasons!
