Buffy’s Corner 1/17/21 – 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


Hope everyone is had a good week! It’s in the high 80s here in California, which is sort of strange for January. I shouldn’t complain, I guess, since it is sort of nice, ha ha. In other news, my daughter released another song a few days ago and I just love it. I’m embedding it hear if you’re interested in having a listen. It’s available on all streaming services too, just saying;-)

Upcoming reviews:

Tomorrow my review for Hall of Smoke by H.M. Long will be up. Wow, this was a really good debut! If you love Norse mythology-inspired stories full of gods, battles and magic, you’ll love this too. I’m also planning on posting my review of The Gulp by Alan Baxter. I wasn’t going to read this until next month, but on a whim I read the first story in this collection and I’m hooked. Baxter is an Australian horror writer and wow I’m impressed!

Upcoming reads:

So, I’m not sure what I’m reading next. I’m at that point in the month where I’m starting to panic: I still have about five January review books left to read, and I really want to get ahead with a couple of early February releases as well. So panic mode, which means I have no idea!! Also, I still have not started The Mask of Mirrors, and I’m hearing more and more negative things about it, so I’m not sure what to do. These three are the books I have my eye on to start next: The Forever Sea, Threader Origins and Winter’s Orbit. Help me pick! Ha ha.

The usual memes…

Tuesday I’ll be posting something new that I’ve seen lots of bloggers doing, my Five Star Predictions for the First Half of 2021. Wednesday stop by Future Fiction for three new SFF cover reveals, The Friday Face-Off is “aliens,” and I think I’ll be posting an Over-Booked book haul post on Saturday.

In case you missed…

Across the Green Grass Fields by Seanan McGuire – Review 3/5 stars

The Friday Face-Off: Spaceships & Explosions

  1. I really want to find the time to read Hall of Smoke so I’m looking forward to seeing what you think! I’ve also heard a lot of negative things about The Mask of Mirrors which is disappointing because it sounded really good and now I’m torn about whether or not to read it.

  2. Will

    Guess I’d vote for the Forever Sea as it sounds more interesting than Threader Origins, and Winter’s Orbit claims to be a bit of a romance novel. But it’s your call! I actually finished my January books (I only had 4) yesterday and I wish you the best of luck with yours. You can do this! Can’t wait to see your thoughts on Hall of Smoke!

  3. The picture is sooo cute! And I would come back soon to listen to the song (I am so curious! And the previous one you shared was beautiful so… I am curious!), and I hope to read both Hall of Smoke and Winter’s Orbit soon, so I am looking forward to your reviews!!

  4. Oh I can’t wait to see what you think of The Gulp, I am just starting the third story. I liked the first one , but not so much the second one, it was weird and not a fan of how it ended, but I have hopes for the next one. I am hit or miss with short horror. I am liking Alan Baxter much more in this one (less F words) than his book The Roo…lol.

    Your daughter has a nice voice!

    Have a great week and happy reading!

  5. There’s a lot of talent in your family! I’m looking forward to hearing about Hall of Smoke, and as a nudge for the near future, The Forever Sea. 🙂

  6. I love your daughter’s song. Thank you for sharing. 🙂 This weather is nice, isn’t it? I’m sure it will cool off again soon enough. I am glad you enjoyed Hall of Smoke, and I look forward to your review. I hope you enjoy whatever you decide to read next. I have my eye on The Forever Sea. At least it’s on my wish list. I hope you have a great week, Tammy!

  7. You have a talented family! Kudos to your daughter and your husband! Looking forward to your reviews of your upcoming reads — at least 2 of the 3 are books that have caught my interest, so I’m interested in hearing how they work for you. HAve a great week!
