Weekly Wrap Up #17

Hi everyone, with Rachel and I's crazy work schedules, we miss sharing whats going on with us. We used to have a lot of fun with our Showcase Sunday posts, so thought we'd do something regular on the blog, where we share bookish news and life news in general as a weekly recap! We've decided to link our weekly wrap up's with The Sunday Post hosted by Kimberly @ Caffeinated reviewer.


WHAT I READ/REVIEWED

I'm super shocked by how many books I was able to finish this week, I've still been devouring all the New Adult and Adult books and they still seem to be working for me so far. I really enjoyed the second book in Frederick's Gridiron series Jock Blocked, it's probably my favourite of the series so far, whereas the rest have just been okay evs for me, but I still can't stop reading these books. And I'd read the first book in the Kate Daniels series a few years ago, but lately it had been popping up on my feed so much, that I realised that I really wanted to get back to this series once more, I started A Questionable Client and was completely hooked, that I've requested books two and three from the library!

So it seems I read a lot, but not really for two weeks.  Falling Into You was a mixed bag, gosh, so many issues! I LOVED Golden Dynasty! The audio book was amazing! The Rancher's Christmas Song was so wonderful as well. Perfect holiday read.  Monster in the Closet was a total bust and way too long. I feel like I'm coming home every time I pick up Robyn Carr's Virgin River series, and Redwood Bend was wonderful.  Someone to Wed was just oh-so-lovely! I highly recommend Mary Balogh to historical romance fans!

I was lucky enough to meet Krista and Becca Ritchie this last week at the Four Book Brit Fest and despite giving their books a go a while back, I felt like I wanted to jump back into more of their books, so got myself a copy of Amour Amour.

I was seriously creeped out by The Hatching series! Who wouldn't be with smart spiders taking over, seriously! I can't wait to find out how the human race does in this final installment! I'm a long-time fan of Lisa Gardner's mystery/suspense novels, and Look For Me promises to be an on-the-edge-of-your-seat-type of read.  I loved Chanel Cleeton's Wild Aces series, so I'm seriously excited for Next Year in Havana! Katie Ruggle writes some amazing romantic suspense so I was thrilled to get a copy of Survive the Night.

NEW TO MY TBR

Did you all hear about Hafsah Faizal's debut book We Hunt the Flame coming out in 2019? When I read about it last week, I was super excited, it sounds so good! You can read more about it here. 

Rachel:
  I'm going to leave this blank because I already have too many books to consider above. :) I'm sure you'll hear all about them in the coming weeks.  

  WHAT I'M WATCHING:

Jasprit  

 

Finally Riverdale has got back on track, I wasn't really feeling the first few episodes, but last week's episode just about destroyed me, and I can't wait to see how things will go down this week. 

Rachel:

I went and saw Murder on the Orient Express this last weekend. It was pretty but I think the previous adaptation did a better job. Still a great movie.

EVENTS OF THE WEEK

Jasprit 

Last week was my week off, but it so didn't feel like it, I tried to catch up with everything and then I had a trip to Monday Night Raw, we decided to do the tourist thing of Manchester and we didn't back until really early morning, I was absolutely knackered, about lost my voice, but it was such a wonderful experience. 

I was also able to attend the Four Books Brit Fest in Manchester I was able to meet with authors Claire Contreras, Becca and Krista Ritchie and one of my all time favourite authors Mariana Zapata, for once I wasn't a mouse when meeting her, and she was absolutely lovely, we were talking about our favourite fictional crushes from her books and she said we both had similar tastes as we both liked jerks! I was able to attend this event with my good friend Allie, we had a massive food crawl leading up to the event. I was also able to meet up with Siiri, she's been one of my friends for the longest times, so it was great that we were finally able to meet up! 

How was your week?
