Welcome to This Week in Books, where we share what we’ve been up to in bookland this week and look ahead to next.
Happy Wednesday, everyone! I’m very happy this week because it’s Eurovision week. If you don’t know what that means I’m sad for you, LOL! Bring on Saturday.
Anyway, this is what my week has looked like:
Now: The Marsh King’s Daughter ~ Karen Dionne // The Time Machine ~ H.G Wells
I haven’t got stuck into this yet, but I have a good feeling about it. And I’m almost, finally, done with The Time Machine which I’ve been trying to read at lunch times.
Then: Release ~ Patrick Ness
I think because I went to the book launch and listened to Patrick speak so passionately about his book that I had very high expectations and so I was a little disappointed by Release – but only a little. It was a beautiful book, I just got slapped by the hype-monster. Gah! My review will be up soon.
Next: ???
I’m really not sure this time. I’m going to let my mood decide at the time.
New on the Shelves
I didn’t buy any, or request any books this week. Go me!
I’m Waiting On…
Fear by Dirk Kurbjuweit
Because…I just saw this on Netgalley and thought it sounded intriguing. I hope I get approved!
So that’s been my week in books, now why don’t you tell me about yours!?
Fear sounds excellent as there is something very sinister about a rogue neighbour – you can’t just get away!! Here is my TWIB https://cleopatralovesbooks.wordpress.com/2017/05/10/this-week-in-books-may-10/
Definitely, I’m looking forward to it!
I have The Marsh King’s Daughter on my TBR and it sounds really good, doesn’t it? I hope you enjoy reading it this week. I’ve not heard of Fear but it sounds brilliant! I hope you get approved soon.

Thanks! I’m loving The Marsh King’s Daughter so far and got approved for Fear so I’m in my happy place right now! 🙂
I’m looking forward to starting The Marsh King’s Daughter soon. Yay that you got approved for Fear, I hope it’s a great read 🙂
Oh, Fear sounds really interesting!!
It does doesn’t it. Can’t wait!
I agree, Fear sounds like my kind of book.
I’ve been stockpiling books a little this week in preparation for my holiday, although I’m not sure why as I’ve already got more than I need.
Here’s my week in books:
