A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.

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.

This Week on The Flutterby Room

Next Week on The Flutterby Room

  • 8th August – A Witch Alone (Winter Trilogy #3) by Ruth Warburton

Any New Books?

Showcase Sunday is a weekly meme hosted by Vicky at Books, Biscuits, and Tea. Its aim is to showcase our newest books or book related swag and to see what everyone else received for review, borrowed from libraries, bought in bookshops and downloaded onto eReaders each week.

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.

This week has been a pretty good week on the whole. I managed to get some reading in – although not as much as I would like – and I was more active on the blog. In real life, I got to spend a brilliant Wednesday with my parents 🙂 I also got my renewal form for my driving licence, which was kind of scary because it was almost 8 years ago that I passed the test. Eek.

Sorry this post is late, and if any links aren’t working. I wrote this post today, and late on at that. This week has not been the best one for me, but things are looking up. You may have noticed something a little different about the blog, and that is because I’ve changed the font and the background. This is all thanks to my Mum who decided to be awesome 🙂

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.

  • Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein [Goodreads] [review]
  • Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein [Goodreads]
  • Dark Triumph (His Fair Assassin Book II) by Robin LaFevers [Goodreads]

I managed to get hold of  a copy of Code Name Verity last year through NetGalley, and I really enjoyed it so I am pleased to finally own a physical copy. I got Rose Under Fire because I had enjoyed it so much. I also picked up Dark Triumph because I enjoyed reading Grave Mercy [review] so I wanted to see what the next book was like.

Tomorrow (17th June) I will be visiting a local hospital, nothing serious, but I just wanted to let you know that I may not be around on the blog much from Monday afternoon and depending how I feel I may not be around much on Tuesday either.

Real Life Update
You may have noticed that I didn’t have a Sunday Post last week, and that in fact there wasn’t a lot of activity at ALL from me that week either on the blog, on twitter, or facebook. Well, there was a reason for that. I managed to catch my first summer cold just as summer began, and it was a “good” enough cold to really knock me for six and I lost a whole week. Sorry about that, but there wasn’t a lot I could do about it as I could barely concentrate.
