What did I say I was going to do?
As I said in my sign up post, I am aiming to be a Brave Reader, which means reading 6-10 books during the course of the year. My first quarterly update can be found here.
How am I doing?
Not too bad considering that I’ve been struggling with health issues and my reading has been patchy to say the least. My blog has been on hiatus and I’m still deciding how I’m going to handle reviewing the books I have read since late May, but where I have already reviewed I’ve provided a link.
- The Cuckoo Song by Frances Hardinge – shortlisted for the first James Herbert Award
- Day Four by Sarah Lotz – a sequel to The Three which was a favourite read from last year
- The Hellbound Heart by Clive Barker – astonished I had never read this before given that it’s a bit of a classic
- The Rhesus Chart by Charles Stross – the fifth in The Laundry Files series – vampires!
I’ve still got a few horror novels on my TBR list so fairly confident I’m going to exceed my target for this challenge 🙂
Over the past few months I’ve mentioned on and off that I have been struggling with some health issues. This has now all come to a head and I’m off work for the next few weeks at least. To help with my recovery I’ve decided to put my blogs on hiatus until I feel better, and I’m cutting back on social media as well. I’ll still be reading of course and will have lots to talk about when I do come back.
