Category: My Week in Books

On the blog last week

Tuesday – I went off-piste for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic picking ten Random Books From My To-Read List. I also shared some book pairings as part of Nonfiction November.

Wednesday – As always WWW Wednesday is a weekly opportunity to share what I’ve just read, what I’m currently reading and what I plan to read next… and to take a peek at what others are reading.

Thursday – I published my review of historical adventure Rage of Swords by David Gilman.

Saturday – I published my review of The Sea Road West by Sally Rena as part of Novellas in November and (better late than never) I shared My Top 3 October 2025 Reads.

New on my shelves

What I’m currently reading

I’m reading The Assassin of Verona and Ravenglass from my TBR pile and The Forgotten Daughter on my Kindle.
