I missed doing this section of the blog last week, mostly due to feeling unwell. Fingers crossed I’m feeling better now and feeling more up for doing the whole blogging thing! I have a couple of outstanding reviews to write, so will get right on them after writing this post.

What are you reading?

Illborn – Daniel T. Jackson

I was approached by the author via Instagram and he pretty much ‘sold’ the book to me. It’s a character-driven fantasy novel with religious themes at its heart. I am currently 27% of the way through it and I’m really enjoying learning about the characters and the world setting. It’s a monster of a book at 700+ pages, so I expect I’ll be reading this one for a while yet!

What did you read last?

Career of Evil – Robert Galbraith

December must be the month of long books! Career of Evil is another one at 550+ pages. Considering when I reviewed The Cuckoos Calling I wasn’t sure if I’d continue with the series, I’m doing pretty well! I’ve really gotten into the main characters and the writing style and I find these books a real treat to spend time with. The full review should be happening later this week!

What will you read next?

Sharpe’s Havoc – Bernard Cornwell

I really need to have a good long look at my reading list and all the books I have on it. Make a decision on what series I’d like to finish off and what I’d like to try and tackle next year. As always, I am going to pick on Sharpe as my image for this though and see if I am still in the mood for loveable rogue characters after finishing Illborn!

Equally, I might have a look at NetGalley and try and get a couple of books crossed off that list!
