This week has been both a better week, as I managed to be online more and get more stuff done with the blog, as well as a pretty “meh” week. I’ve got a chronic condition and it spent this week flaring, it was mostly partly my fault as I made some bad choices but yeah… Still, onwards and upwards.

I came to the realisation this week that I’m going to have to treat reading in a more professional capacity if I plan to write a review here. Basically, I’m going to need to set aside a few hours a day to get through my reading pile before it eats me. I’ll let you know how it goes next week.

This Week on The Flutterby Room

• Top Ten Tuesday – Top Ten Best Books to Read for Hallowe’en
• 5 star review of Heart of Obsidian (A Psy-Changeling Novel #12) by Nalini Singh

This week has been quiet on the blog. The only thing that went on the blog this week was a review I’d scheduled. Real life has been quite hectic this week, hence the silence on the blog and on Twitter and Facebook and Tumblr. I’m hoping next week will be better, but I will definitely be back the week after though.

This Week on The Flutterby Room

• 3 star review of I Wished For You by Amy Huberman

Next Week on The Flutterby Room

This week has been a good week. Lucky had to go to the vets for his injections and we discovered he’s got arthritis in both front legs and one back one. Today is my cousin’s twenty-first birthday, so I won’t be around much today – sorry in advance for my delayed response to your comment.

This week has been a pretty meh week on the blog front, though I’m not sure why. I just didn’t feel motivated to read, or blog, or even be on Twitter – although on the Twitter front that was partially out of my control as I had some trouble with my mobile contract.

This week I started the one review a week schedule. It’s really taken some of the pressure off. Unfortunately, it is also the only post that went up this week – opps!

Lucky (my border collie) was shorn last Sunday for the summer, and he still smells clean which is a bonus! 😀

This week has been a quite, but good one.

This week I came to the rather sad conclusion that I won’t be able to publish two reviews a week on the blog and will instead have to return to one review a week. My “reading slump” has totally destroyed the two month cushion I had built myself, and I can no longer keep up with two reviews every week. This makes me sad, but hopefully things will improve.

Apart from that, this week has been a good one.

I popped into Waterstones yesterday and I had to buy this book. It sounded really interesting.

• The Cuckoo’s Calling by Robert Galbraith [Goodreads]

I know this book is really by J. K. Rowling (who doesn’t by now?), but that’s not actually the reason I picked it up. I picked it up because I heard two great reviews about the book from people I trust (a blogger and a vlogger, who will be thanked in the review) and I fancied something a little different to shake things up.

Sorry this post is late, and if any links aren’t working. I wrote this post today, and late on at that. I really needed to do stuff like book the dog in to get groomed before he cooks in the heat (as it is, he’ll have to hang on until August) and I lost the stupid card with the telephone number on so I had to convince the parentals to drive me out there.
