Buffy’s Corner 9/20/20 – Looking at the Week Ahead

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


Two things happened on Friday: Ruth Bader Ginsburg died (as I’m sure you know) and there was an earthquake in Los Angeles. I like to think the two events were related in some way. Maybe it was Ruth’s way of warning us to stay vigilant. Instead of hubby photos today, I just wanted to honor this amazing woman:

Upcoming reviews:

Well, my plans went off the rails this week. I didn’t read much of what I was planning, but I did read two AMAZING books, so there’s that! I loved The Phlebotomist by Chris Panatier, which was a complete surprise. My review goes up tomorrow, so do stop by and check it out. And on a whim, because I needed a Kindle ARC to read, I started The Residence by Andrew Pyper and OMG I blew through it in a couple of days. You would never know from the cover, but this is a super creepy Gothic horror/ghost story, and it surprised me as well! My review will probably be up on Thursday.

Upcoming reads:

By the time this post goes up, I’ll have started The Hive Queen by Robin Kirk. This is the follow-up to Robin’s The Bond which I loved. I also have an interview with Robin, and I’ll probably schedule both the review of The Hive Queen and the interview next week. Stay tuned! (And I may do a giveaway, since it’s been ages:-D) After that, I have two fairly short September review books I’d like to get to by the end of the month: The Occultists by Polly Schattel and Midnight Horror Show by Ben Lathrop. Hey, it’s almost October and what better way to celebrate than with some spooky reads?

The usual memes…

Look for Future Fiction on Wednesday, The Friday Face-Off on Friday (Busy/detailed covers) and I’ll be doing an Over-Booked on Saturday, since I have some new review copies from publishers to share.

Heads up Sci-Fi Fans!

It may seem early, but November is right around the corner. And you know what that means: Sci Fi Month! The best blogging month of the year! Check out imyril’s post here if you’re interested in joining us. I’ll be launching my own Sci Fi Month plans at the end of October, which is good because I still have lots of planning to do. Everyone can join in, don’t miss it!

      I just realized I should have added a link to her Wikipedia page (which I just did). RGB did so many important things!

  1. It’s been a hard old week, what with one thing and another – and here in the UK, RBG was regarded with huge respect by feminists and the world seems a colder, harder place without her…

    I’ve just been checking out The Phlebotomist – sci fi featuring an awesome grandmother??? How come I missed THAT one on my radar? It sounds fabulous:). I might well treat myself to the audio version… In time for Sci Fi Month!

      I didn’t realize there were “older” women in The Phlebotomist, but I gave a little cheer when I found out!

  2. I’m very sad about RGB’s passing. So much….depression about the possible future if things shake out certain ways, this election has suddenly become even more important.
    Anyway, I’m looking forward to Sci-Fi month! I don’t think I will be a full on participant but I do have a few reviews planned for it. 🙂 Have a great week, Tammy!

  3. You’re right, I wouldn’t have know from the cover what The Residence is about, but I do like the sound of it. Can’t wait to read your review.

    The cover for the Phlebotomist is certainly striking – and also, I totally had to look up what that meant !

  5. Ugh, such a shame about RBG. I hadn’t heard of the earthquake, but that sounds appropriate. Oooh, I didn’t know there was a sci-fi month to go with fantasy month! I always have a hard time separating the two. xD I’m bad with genres.

  6. Her passing was so sad and yes, maybe the earthquake was a sign. The world sure is a sh*tshow right now that’s for sure. I am glad to see you liked the Pyper book because that’s one I’m really interested in. I’ve seen a few mixed reviews though so I was a tad hesitant. Hope you are having a great week and hope to be around more (except that Apollo scared the crap out of me again this morning). He’s determined to kill me!
