Welcome to Buffy’s Corner, where I take a look at what’s coming up this week on the blog! I’m linking up with The Sunday Post over at Kimberly’s blog, The Caffeinated Reviewer:-D
It was a pretty good week, and the weather is finally warm and lovely here! I finished installing my new bookcases, so now I can continue my book cataloging project, which stalled for a while while I figured out how to utilize the weird angles in this bedroom. These are IKEA Billy bookcases and they’re almost a perfect fit! Have a good week, everyone:-)
Upcoming reads & reviews:
I had a rough reading week. I started a couple of books and just didn’t click with them, so I set them aside (Indian Burial Ground and A Letter to the Luminous Deep, although I’m going to give them another shot). I finally grabbed First Light and I’m so glad I did, it was really good. Extremely dark and depressing, but I loved it. This week I’m not sure what I’ll read, but a few possibilities are the rest of my April review books: Bless Your Hearth, Someone You Can Build a Nest In and Immortal Pleasures. Let me know which one I should pick up!
Other posts this week:
On Tuesday I’ve got a new list, this time I’m sharing some upcoming releases that DON’T have covers yet, it should be a fun post! Wednesday is Future Fiction and three new cover reveals; and right now that’s all I have planned.
In case you missed:

Your bookcases are so beautiful! And I am curious to know what you would think of Someone You Can Built A Nest In, I have an ARC for it and I am pretty curious!!
I think I might read it next. I just started Bless Your Heart and it’s pulling me in!
Great use of those shelves. They really do fit well on those walls. If I were to pick one of the three books you’re considering reading next it would likely be Someone You Can Build a Nest In just because of that title. And Tuesday’s list sounds like it ought to be a VISUALLY stunning post! 😉 Have a great week. And let’s all stop for a bit and sing along to the raven song.
Thanks Todd! I hope you have a great week too:-)
Yay for new bookcases! That’s a weird angle indeed! And the title of the picture made me smile as I just finsihed listening to Ravensong by TJ Klune today! Talk about fate Tammy…
Oh wow, I wish I could say I planned the raven photo, lol:-)
Those shelves look fantastic! And what odd angles you’re fighting – but once you’ve got them filled with books, they’ll look wonderful:)). As for not knowing what to read next – that’s tends to be me allll the time, these days. I’m finally getting around to a Netgalley arc from the beginning December! And thank you for the lovely pic of the raven:)). Have a great week, Tammy.
Thanks Sarah! I kind of like the idea of being surprised by my next book choice.:-)
Ikea’s “Billy” bookcases are the best, and are practically indestructible: I have one I bought back in 1999 and it still looks like new 🙂

I love that! They really are the best for the money, sturdy and they blend in just like they should:-)
Love your new bookshelves! I think the Billy might have a corner shelf that I’d like to get to put in where I have just an open space between two shelves. Looks like some good books you have as choices to read this week, but I will just wait and see which you pick! Glad First Light was able to grab you when the others were not working. Have a great week!

I think they do have a corner. I’ve never tried it but I bet it looks great.
Gorgeous shelves! I think my “book room” is all Billy shelves too. Gotta love Ikea!
Thanks! Billys are the best:-)
I have bookcase envy even though I have many of my own. And I try not to get physical books anymore. But I love the look of them.

I like seeing them like this before the books go in, they look so tidy!
Academy for liars looks interesting i have to check that one out. My hubby built me a bookcase that in our dinning room, then i have a book cart in the living room that suppoused to hold what i currently want to read. Then i have two more shelves and a cart upstairs in our master bedroom. Of course that not mentioning the 3 tubs of books in a corner but i like a squirrel i make it fit.
Your house sounds like mine, books in every room:-)
That’s a fantastic use of Billy bookcases! I think it look great!
Thanks! I’m pretty happy:-)
I am curious about Bless Your Heart! Hope you read it.

I love those shelves, I wish I had that much shelf space to use.
Bless Your Heart looks like it could be fun, hope you enjoy 😀

Bless Your Heart is really good so far:-)
Love the bookcases, I have unfortunately run out of wall to put bookcases against!
Wishing you a wonderful reading week
That’s the challenge, finding enough wall space:-)
Too bad you’re not in L.A. I’m getting rid of my four Billy bookcases, free to whoever will come get them. Yours look GREAT with those angles! Can’t wait to see them filled up!
Oh too bad, oh well, I’m sure your bookcases will find a good home:-)
I haven’t read a summary of Someone You Can Build a Nest In and I almost don’t want to… the title alone is so evocative, I have so many thoughts, haha. Hope it’s good!

The title is great, right?
Sooo jealous of your new shelves!! We’re actually going to do a home renovation too (so yay new shelves!), but it’s definitely going to take a while (maybe a year or two!). Anyway, so excited for you to fill your shelves up!! <3
aimee @ aimee can read recently posted…I pulled myself out of a 6-year reading slump and you can too!
Ooh a renovation, how fun. Sounds like you can plan ahead for your bookshelves:-)
Oh I love those bookshleves! And Ghost Station- ooh I need to get that!
Have a great week Tammy!!

You do, read it Greg, it’s great!
The shelves look great. Are you using an app or just Excel to catalog your books?
Thank you! I’m using an app called Bookshelf. You can scan barcodes or even just type and search. It’s working really well so far.
