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
Well, I finally had my eye surgery on Friday! I’m so happy to have that behind me. It went well and from what I can tell so far, it worked. I had strabismus surgery which corrects the alignment of the eyes. I’ve been seeing double for years now, and my brain learned to adjust to that, but my special glasses with prisms in them had stopped working. I’m feeling OK, ad the recovery is supposed to be only days, so as far as surgeries go, it was pretty low stress. My eyes are quite scratchy at the moment, so I’m not sure how much reading I’ll get done this week, but we’ll see how it goes.
Hope everyone is doing well, and I hope you all have fantastic weeks!
Upcoming reviews:
I’m currently reading The Warrior Poet and hope to have a review up this week. I love being back in Sharon’s Faery Rehistory world! This story centers around time/dimensional travel and it’s a lot of fun so far. Next, I’m hoping to jump into Nightwatch on the Hinterlands, which comes out this week.
Upcoming reads:
Not sure what I’ll get through this week, but these three are on my radar to read next. Flowers for The Sea is short, so that should be easy to fit in. Slewfoot is a hangover from last month, so I really need to read it soon. And These Silent Woods should be a nice change from the SFF I’ve been reading. I’m looking forward to this mystery/thriller!
Other posts:
The only posts I have planned this week (other than reviews) are Future Fiction on Wednesday and The Friday Face-Off, which is “Queen in the title.”
In case you missed:
My posts from last week:
As far as my reading goes, Summer Sons was a big miss for me, but Comfort Me With Apples and Nothing But Blackened Teeth both worked well:
Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo – Review 2/5 stars
The Friday Face-Off: Your Favorite Book of Magic
Comfort Me With Apples by Catherynne M. Valente – Review 4.5/5 stars
Creatures of the Night Book Tag
Nothing But Blackened Teeth by Cassandra Khaw – Review 4/5 stars
I’m so glad your surgery went well. I hope the scratchy sensation goes away soon. I’ve seen Slewfoot in a lot of places, makes me curious!

Thanks Priscilla! I’ve heard great things about Slewfoot.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Thanks Laurie, much appreciated!
Glad your eye surgery went well! I am curious about These Silent Woods so can’t wait for you to try that one! 🙂
Thanks Stormi!
YAY! Glad your surgery went well! I’m especially excited to see your review of Nightwatch on the Hinterlands when it’s up!
Thank you! I’m hoping to start HINTERLANDS very soon:-)
I love all the bird pictures you share! The Night Watch looks interesting, I’ll be interested to see your review! Have a good week!

Hope you have a good week too!
I hope your eye heals quickly and that your vision will be double-less in the future! I haven’t read any of the Faery Rehistory series so I’ll have to take a look at that. I love the pelican photo.
I hope you’re able to do some reading this week, Tammy.
Thanks Jan!
I’m very happy to hear your surgery is behind you now, and even more so that it went well. I wouldn’t blame you at all for taking it easy this week and just letting the eyes recover. The books will still be there when you’re ready for them. 🙂
It’s been nice taking a bit of a break. I’m not even posting ANY reviews this week!
I’m so glad you have had the surgery and it went well. Maybe audiobooks for a few days? Take the time you need to heal.

I’m feeling pretty good at the moment, and yes I did think I should read some audio books:-)
Yikes! Sounds like one of those life-changing surgeries. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
So far I’m very glad I did it, it’s definitely made driving and watching movies/TV much better!
Good luck with your recovery! I hope it goes well and quick! Nightwatch on the Hinterlands looks good. I’ll have to check that out.
Beautiful pic!

Thank you Greg!
I hope your recovery goes well and you get great results! That’s a gorgeous photo. Can’t wait to hear what you think of Slewfoot!
Thanks Lisa:-)
I almost forgot about These Silent Woods! Definitely want to try and fit that one in this month.
It’s really good, I’m about halfway through.
Glad to hear your eye surgery went well, hope you have a speedy recovery 🙂

Thank you!
I’m really glad to hear your surgery went well. Wishing you a speedy recovery and lots of great reads this week. I love the details in your hubby’s photo. It’s such a crisp shot that I can count the bird’s feathers.
Thank you Suzanne!
Glad your surgery went well! Now that you’re not seeing double anymore you can enjoy that excellent photo of a single bird in flight that your husband took
It’s really impressive that you’ve been reading for years while seeing double! I hope reading retains the same joy even now that everything just happens once
Ha ha, thanks Will. It’s amazing what the brain can adjust to…
I am so curious about Slewfoot! I’ve been bummed because my library doesn’t have any copies yet, but hopefully I can grab a copy somehow sometime. 🙂 These Silent Woods was a great story, I really enjoyed it. I hope you enjoy all of your reading this week!
I’m about half way through These Silent Woods, it’s very suspenseful!
Pleased to read your surgery went well. Having an eye op is such a scary thing isn’t it. Hope the recovery goes well.
Happy reading when your eyes feel less irritated.
