#WeeklyForecast

Hoping to finish both If I Survive You andThe Other Eden today and then it is all about Covenant. Next up are 3 library holds. I‘m expecting to love Learned by Heart not sure about the other two.

Cinfhen The Patchett memoir is excellent! And the Donoghue is on my TBR this week too😁 7mo

Happy New Year everyone!

How exciting that it‘s time for the first #weeklyforecast of 2023; it means that I can make a start on all those challenges!

Wild Coast covers 3 countries for #readingtheamericas23, and I‘m sure I can find prompts for the other books - hopefully #doubledipping across a few challenges.

I‘m LOVING Violin so far @MicheleinPhilly ;it would probably have made my #top22of2022 had I read it last year.

batsy I just started The Violin Conspiracy today! It's off to a promising start. 1y

No #bookreport since I haven‘t completed anything since my monthly wrap-up.

#weeklyforecast
I started all three of my current reads on Thursday, Dec 1.
Swan Song is great so far! @Reggie
I‘m enjoying Murder Game.
Mysterious Bookshop is kind of meh, I might bail.

Cinfhen 😍 1y
Bookzombie @Cinfhen Safe Travels!💕 1y
Cinfhen Thanks so much ♥️ 1y
Reggie I‘m glad you‘re liking it so far. That guy watching the Faces of Death scene really freaked me out. 1y

#weeklyforecast

McKinsey and the Irving are ongoing so will continue with those this week. I‘m definitely going to start Mexican Gothic for November‘s #authoramonth, and it‘s a #buddyread with @Caroline2

I *may* pick something off the shelf for #nonfictionnovember, but really I‘m anxiously waiting for Tuesday to find out what‘s on #booked2023 so I know what *not* to read this year! 🤣

Cinfhen Hahaha!!! Yup, it‘s that time of year!! Let the hoarding begin xxxx 1y
Cinfhen Here‘s another hint…. I‘m saving this book for #Booked2023 even though im VERY eager to pick it up 1y
Caroline2 Yay. Let me know when you‘re ready to start Gothic. 👍 1y
See All 21 Comments
squirrelbrain I think I‘ll actually start tomorrow or Tuesday @Caroline2 - if that‘s OK with you? 1y
squirrelbrain Ooh, I applied for that on #netgalley @Cinfhen but didn‘t get it. I haven‘t bought it yet but really want to read it. I‘m thinking I might re-read this one first though…am I on the right lines for the prompt?! 🤔 1y
Caroline2 Tuesday is good for me. Gives me chance to finish my current book. 👍 1y
Cinfhen Yup!!! You‘re definitely thinking correctly 🥰😉 1y
squirrelbrain Interesting..! @Cinfhen I may see if I can borrow the ‘original‘ from the library then and read that this year…or maybe it could be interesting to read them alongside each other? 1y
Cinfhen I think @Yossarian was hosting a buddyread of both books!! Im gonna check out his discussions once I start reading the book 1y
squirrelbrain Just checked on BorrowBox and the audio of Demon Copperhead is currently on loan and available on 30th December - spooky eh?! The e-book isn‘t available until April and the physical book isn‘t in at the library yet… @Cinfhen 1y
TrishB I‘ve put Copperhead on my Christmas list 😁 1y
squirrelbrain I won‘t suggest a #buddyread @TrishB @Cinfhen 🤣 1y
TrishB Way to kill the vibe 😁 1y
Cinfhen Hahaha @TrishB @squirrelbrain we‘ve been there done that …#NotGood 1y
Cinfhen And how PERFECT @squirrelbrain !!!! 1y
Megabooks What do you think of the McKinsey so far? And good thought re: booked! 1y
Megabooks Thanks for the hint about Copperhead @Cinfhen but we‘ll see if I can stall because I‘m next in line at the library! 1y
Cinfhen Ahhhhh - your library is soooooo good @Megabooks if it‘s not Demon Copperhead you‘ll easily find another option for the prompt 🤓😁 1y
squirrelbrain I‘m really enjoying it so far @Megabooks - I do find myself drifting off a bit on occasion but that‘s probably more me than the book, as there‘s a lot going on in my squirrelly brain at the moment! 😁🐿 1y
Yossarian @Cinfhen I was intending to lead a buddy read, but after several calls no one wished to be my buddy, so I will be passing on that option. 1y
Cinfhen That‘s too bad @Yossarian im looking forward to reading the Kingsolver 1y

I‘m looking forward to listening to some more of Invisible Child (a lot of driving for work this week).

I got a bit bogged down with the Rhys book last night, so we‘ll see how that goes. I just started the Rijneveld last night and I‘m bracing myself! 😬 (@barbarabb)

Up next, Anna has just arrived on BorrowBox and I‘m Sorry is a #netgalley ARC, published this week.

Have a great week everyone!

BarbaraBB It‘s a very uncomfortable book. So many not needed gory details. But its message is loud and clear 💔 (edited) 2y
Cinfhen Great graphics and lots of interesting titles!! Have a good week, Helen 😘 2y

It‘s been a while since I did one of these! My reading has been off the boil for a while, so New Year‘s Resolution has to be to do more reading😊. Sticking to my book-a-week goal, I‘m keeping it light. I started Murder at Christmas last week, and want to finish it before moving on to my book club‘s choice for discussion next week, The Great Gatsby, which will be a reread for me.

#WeeklyForecast @Cinfhen

Cinfhen Welcome back ❤️a book a week is an awesome goal!!! 2y

A joint #bookreport and #weeklyforecast this week; completely forgot yesterday..(too busy reading! 🤣)

Top row: books I read before the #readingretreat. All were great apart from Tides, which was just OK.
Middle row: books I read on the retreat. Didn‘t like the Whitehead but the others were fab. Still to review Wolves.
Bottom row: suffering from major retreat hangover now so Stolen Ones will be a great palate cleanser ⬇️

squirrelbrain Listened to most of this one on the way home, only half an hour to go. It‘s on the #ToB longlist. 2y
Cathythoughts These all look interesting! I‘ve ordered Wolves.. so looking forward to it & to your review 2y
Jee_HookedOnBookz Been wanting to read The Woman in the Purple Skirt! Looking forward to reading your thoughts! 2y

squirrelbrain @Jee_HookedOnBookz - I‘ll let you know! 2y
squirrelbrain @OutAndAbout - we‘ll be doing another one next year; you should try to join us. 2y
Cinfhen Welcome home!!! Your #ReadingRetreat looked FABULOUS and you actually read a lot !! Wonderful 2y

Trying to behave myself and not read too many books at once….we‘ll see how long that lasts! 🤣

I‘m already on with Migrations, and the David Harrwood on audio- both fab so far.

I do need to start American Pastoral this week for my course, so I‘ll allow myself that! 😁

Caroline2 I‘ve heard good things about both these books. 👍 3y

It‘s another busy week…MORE Jewish Holidays, which means more hosting & entertaining 😊It‘s nice to have company again, but I forgot how time consuming it can be…keeping my #WeeklyForecast lite
Started this audio last night for my #KnifeBuddyRead with @Megabooks ~ it‘s ok but not very compelling ( food descriptions are SIZZLING 😜) Started Three Girls an #ARC - so far it‘s EXCELLENT
Three Sisters is also an #ARC ~ I‘m looking forward to

LeahBergen Enjoy your holidays and your company! 😘😘 3y
Cathythoughts Have a great week ❤️ 3y
Cinfhen Thanks SO MUCH @LeahBergen @Cathythoughts 😘😘 3y
TrishB Have a good week ♥️ 3y
Megabooks Lol my punny friend! I thought you said today on our buddy read, but maybe I had it wrong. I‘m enjoying the small town aspects. I‘m interested in what happens when they leave NYC. Anyway, have a great week!! 💜😘 3y

Here‘s a joint #BookReport #WeeklyForecast

I completed a bunch of books last week, much to my surprise! My favorite was Early Morning Riser which was gifted to me by @DivineDiana 😘😘 I‘m having quite the New York adventure, including an almost hurricane which forced my Sunday wedding to be postponed to Monday🤪It‘s really a mess but I‘m learning to go with the flow…life is FULL of unexpected twists

TrishB Yes, make plans at your peril seems to be the new norm. Take care 😘 3y
Cinfhen I just feel for the bride @TrishB this is literally the THIRD time her wedding has been postponed!!! She moved her dates twice before due to Covid. 💔 3y
BarbaraBB That sucks for the bride. Hopefully she‘ll have a wonderful day tomorrow. Enjoy 🤍 3y

Cinfhen It‘s crazy @BarbaraBB poor girl 😢 I‘m sure whatever happens tomorrow all her guests who do show up will make the day EXTRA special 💖💖💖 3y

KarenUK Oh no! Hope tomorrow is even more special! 💕💕 3y

We are under a Winter Storm Warning, so time for chai and reading.

I‘ll probably finish “Take the Lead” within the next few days. Then it‘s time for another ARC.

@Cinfhen

MsMelissa Yikes! It‘s too early for winter storms! We might get our first flurries of the season tomorrow, but no storms just yet. I hope it doesn‘t materialize. 4y
SLibrarian5 @Book_Fiend_Melissa I know! We didn't get as much snow as expected, but it's only a high of 11F today. 😕 3y
