The Week in Review is where I combine Stacking the Shelves, The Sunday Post and It’s Monday! What are you reading? ย If you have never joined in on these meme’s you can check them out by clicking on the meme and it will take you to the host blog.
I am so ready for winter to be over. It’s been cold and rain/snowy and blah. Good thing is in a few days highs could hit in the 50s so I will take them! ๐
Not a lot to report here I am a boring, somewhat antisocial person so not much happened this week.

Books I have added
Netgalley
I didn’t get anything last week so it must have been in preparation for this week!!! I swear it was request approval week and they gained up on me. ๐
- The Last Fallen Star – Debut about an adopted Korean-American girl who discovers her heritage and her magic on a perilous journey to save her witch clan family. Pretty much all I know about it but I usually like Rick Riordan Presents books.
- Journey Beyond the Burrow – To survive in the deep woods, a mouse needs to know a thing or two. Thatโs why Tobin knows the Rules of Rodentia like the back of his paw. Trust scent before sight. Avoid predictable paths. Always do whatโs best for the Great Burrow. Mouse adventure here I come!! ๐
- Every Last Fear – An anticipated debut psychological thrillers, a family made infamous by a true crime documentary is found dead, leaving their surviving son to uncover the truth about their final days. Sounds really cool!
- Your Turn to Suffer by Tim Waggoner – Lorelei Palumbo is harassed by a sinister group calling themselves The Cabal. They accuse her of having committed unspeakable crimes in the past, and now she must pay. That is all I really need to know. Out of three books I have read by him I have enjoyed two so hopefully this will be another!
- Children of Chicago – This horrifying retelling of the Pied Piper fairytale set in present-day Chicago is an edge of your seat, chills up the spine, thrill ride.
- The Jane Austen Investigates – Itโs 1789 and a young Jane Austen turns detective as she seeks to solve the mysterious happenings at Southmoor Abbey. Sounds super fun!
Books read last week
- Alone – I just wasn’t a huge fan of this one, which is a bummer because I wanted to love it!
- Five Total Strangers – This was enjoyable but had some flaws.
Currently reading
ย
ย
- An Unexpected Peril – I thought I would get it finished but had a busy Saturday and so didn’t have time. I am 83% into and will finish it today!! Loving it!
- The Nightmare Thief – I had put this one on the back burner to read the above ones instead, so now going to try this one again in hopes it picks up some.
- Poldark – Yep, started the tv series and ended up reading the book instead…lol. Decided to read before I watch more! ๐ I said I wanted to read more classics so here is my first one of the year. First published in 1945.
- Brother – The January pick for a horror book club on facebook I am in. Just getting started so no opinion yet.
What might be up next
How was your week? What did you get?
It does seem like NetGalley approvals come in waves. I will feel like I am catching up and then…boom…I am behind again. Isn’t An Unexpected Peril fabulous?
Netgalley is sure like that…lol. I loved An Unexpected Peril but I knew I would! Love that series!
It’s super cold here right now and I’m already longing for spring! For now, I’ll try to hibernate. LOL
I am with you, I so want spring!
Boring would be a nice change of pace lol ๐ I know this weather sucks. We go snow today and the only reason that I was semi excited was to show Dante. Other than that, I was like, “okay, go away now.”
Have a great week!
I’m really excited about Children of Chicago. I need to request that one. I agree, winter needs to end!
Yeah, it sounds really cool!
Not to hijack your post but man, you are sure looking gorgeous!
Yeah, so ready for cold to be gone! ๐
We have snow here but some of it melted- the sun came out yesterday but it’s been cold! Ack is winter over yet???
Ooh you read Five Total strangers. I kind of agree with that assessment. I didn’t understand some of the decisions that were made, even though I liked the cold snowy setting.
The Raybourn book looks good.
You should totally try the Raybourn books! A Curious Beginning is book one! ๐
Wow, great book haul! I’m really curious about Children of Chicago, I may have to request it to. Have a good week, Stormi!
Yes, I can’t wait to get to Children of Chicago!
I’m glad you got some approvals of good things to read even if they all came at once. Happy reading!
Me too, but so many at once…lol. ๐
