Weekly Wrap Up

24 May 2021 / 20 Comments

Hello Readers! I hope you all are well and had great weekend. I hope COVID gets under control and we can have some change in life. It’s getting hard to keep 2 yrs old occupied in house. And I so want to rant on how much frustrating it is when your own family keep telling ‘you read a lot’ or in other words ‘you don’t do anything else’. I don’t know how long I can keep justifying or block out those words and still enjoy something that’s only ‘me time’ and makes me happy.

Last week I read 2 books.

Last Week I Read

Red House (Jess Bridges Mystery #3) by Joss Stirling

Third book in Jess Bridges series. It was as interesting as previous book in series about business rivalry between Russian Oligarch, nosey neighbours, socialism and yet conservative thoughts and behaviour, political connections, diamonds, and money. There was finally development in Jess and Leo’s relationship. They got closer because of current investigation we see change in them. We know more about Leo and Jess’ past and I so enjoyed the way Jess dealt with Leo’s Narcissist mother. Murder case was much more complex. I enjoyed the mystery but at the same time I felt the motif was a bit unbelievable.

The Invisible Husband of Frick Island by Colleen Oakley

This was bittersweet women’s fiction that revolved around Piper’s delusion, whole town going along with her hallucination and a journalist/podcaster trying to understand what going on. Story was about bereavement, impact of environment changes on island, community, love, family, and hope. I liked how PBHE- Post- Bereavement Hallucination Experiences was represented here. There were many layers and messages. I rooted for characters and loved development in main characters. I enjoyed reading about Anders’ podcast- What the Frick– and how it grew gradually. His passion for it, making it success was relatable.

I’m starting

Siege and Storm (The Shadow and Bone Trilogy #2) by Leigh Bardugo

Hunted across the True Sea, haunted by the lives she took on the Fold, Alina must try to make a life with Mal in an unfamiliar land. She finds starting new is not easy while keeping her identity as the Sun Summoner a secret. She can’t outrun her past or her destiny for long.

The Darkling has emerged from the Shadow Fold with a terrifying new power and a dangerous plan that will test the very boundaries of the natural world. With the help of a notorious privateer, Alina returns to the country she abandoned, determined to fight the forces gathering against Ravka. But as her power grows, Alina slips deeper into the Darkling’s game of forbidden magic, and farther away from Mal. Somehow, she will have to choose between her country, her power, and the love she always thought would guide her–or risk losing everything to the oncoming storm.

I’m sure I don’t have to say much for this book. I’m bracing myself before starting this because I didn’t like Mal much and as per many reviews he isn’t improving in this one. But I hope Darkling will keep the story interesting and I’m really excited to explore more world, reading about other territories.

Next I’ll be Reading

The Shadow Watch (The Shadow Watch #1) by S.A. Klopfenstein

In a world of ice and blood…
A buried power awakens…
Can one sorceress defy an empire?

Ripped from her home and sold for a handful of coins, seventeen year old Tori Burodai grew up a slave in a foreign empire. All her life, surrounded by injustice and cruelty, she has ached for the chance to fight back.

When her only friend’s life is threatened, a buried power awakens, catapulting Tori into a harrowing new reality. For the first time in centuries, magic has returned to the world, and Tori may finally have the opportunity to change her fate.

Desperate for answers, Tori joins forces with a charismatic rebel bent on righting the scales. Soon, she is thrust into the heart of a magic revolution. But magic is not the only power that has returned from the depths of the world. And some secrets should never be uncovered.

War is coming. But does Tori have what it takes to defy an empire?

Now that sounds interesting and I love that cover.
