Weekly Catch Up: 17.10.21

Here is my weekly post each Sunday to catch up from the week before.

I will be sharing what I have been up to, what I have read, am reading and what’s up next along with other weekly catch up news.

What I have been up to this week:

Another busy week, but a positive one with a good end of year review for work. I had my flu jab yesterday which is also good although I can’t stop sneezing this morning, so hopefully that will stop soon. One more week to go until half term, and hopefully more reading time too. 😊

Reading wise, I have completed three horror short story books this week. I am trying to get all the reviews posted before Halloween.

Book Totals:

💜 Paperbacks/Hardbacks on my book shelf = 60

(+1, 0 read & 1 received)

💜 E-ARC’s/Review requests to read (not including NetGalley) = 15

(-2, 3 read & 1 received)

💜 Other E-books on Kindle = 284

(+41, see Saturday’s & Friday’s post to see what I have added)

I will be comparing this each week, although with my reading slowing down this month I think the figures are likely to go up rather than down 😂.

NetGalley catch up:

Here are my totals as of today:

💜 23 Books approved

💜 7 Books Read

💜 7 Reviews posted

Feedback Ratio 30%.

(-5% on ratio, 3 approvals this week)

I am going to try and take part in Netgalley November, so I am hoping to get through quite a few of these approvals next month 🤞

Looking forward to keeping this post going in the future, and hopefully I can actually stay awake long enough in the evenings this week to get some reading done. I keep saying this every week now 😂
