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
Time for a fresh start! Welcome to my first weekly “looking ahead” post of 2022. I’m ready to put the holidays behind me and get back to my normal routine, though. It was fun, but exhausting. This week’s hubby photo was taken during our road trip up to the desert during Christmas. I hope everyone had a lovely and safe New Year’s Day!
Here’s what’s happening on the blog this week (and I’m back to posting reviews after a very nice break in December!):
Upcoming reviews:
We’ll kick off the month with a couple of January reviews. On Monday, I’ll be reviewing Where the Drowned Girls Go, the seventh book in Seanan McGuire’s very popular Wayward Children series. And on Thursday, it’s my review of In Every Generation, a new Buffy-verse novel that I found to be a mixed bag. Very mixed. Ha ha.
Upcoming reads:
I’m currently in the middle of two books. Well, I’m about a hundred pages into The Starless Crown, and it’s good so far! I’m almost finished with The Wakening, a very good possession story. I’m hoping to get these both reviewed next week, we’ll see how that goes. Next up, I think I’ll start Such a Pretty Smile, which I’m excited about.
Other posts this week:
On Tuesday, I’m kicking off the year with my Most Anticipated Books of the First Quarter, 2022. Wednesday is my usual Future Fiction, the Friday Face-Off is “Favorite book of 2021” and I will be sharing my latest book haul on Saturday.
In case you missed:
It was a busy week last week, here are my posts if you missed any:

Razorblade Tears by S.A. Crosby – Review 3.5/5 stars
Happy New Year Tammy. Sounds like you had a lovely December – it’s nice to have a little break from the norm – and now back to business.
Hope 2022 is a lovely year for you.
I love the moody wind turbine picture.
Lynn 😀
Happy New Year, Lynn!
Hope 2022 brings… better than the last two years of 2020! lol
I’m glad to hear you are starting the year out strong! …mostly. Personally I’ve just read and reviewed one of the worst books I’ve ever finished. But hey, it’s all uphill from that;)
Oh wow. So curious to see what book that is!
I like the idea of a fresh start, but I have to admit I’m not nearly ready to move on from the holidays and return to my normal routine as that means going back to work…. 🙂 Storms can look so dynamic and impactful when presented in black and white. And all those wind turbines make for an interesting photo. Love it!

Oh yeah, there is work to look forward to, lol. Hope it’s not too bad!
I’ve heard a lot of complaints about In Every Generation. Why would an established author basically write bad (or disrespectful) fan fiction is beyond me.
Happy new year!
I’m glad I’m not the only one complaining! It just makes me wonder if she even watched the show…
I’m really curious about your review of In Every Generation and that mixed bag. Doesn’t sound good 😛
I really didn’t enjoy it much, but oh well:-)
I am ready for the celebrations to be over too Tammy!
Ha ha it’s exhausting, right?
I didn’t realize Kendare Blake had written a Buffy novel. Happy new year!

Happy New Year!
Nice beginning of 2022!
Will be a busy blogging week for me as well, with posting all my 2021 stats, it’s Bout of Books Week, also posting the 2 challenges I’ll do this year, Top Ten on Tuesday, and Friday Face Off as well. Looking forward to your posts
Looking forward to yours as well:-)
I’ll be interested in hearing more about In Every Generation. I’m not sure how I feel about Buffy-verse novels in general… I’m looking forward to your review!
This is probably my last one, lol.
I agree about getting back to a routine! It’s nice to feel a bit free sometimes, but boy do I need structure, haha. Very excited to see your review for Where the Drowned Girls Go! I’m glad you’re enjoying The Starless Crown–it’s making me want to go ahead and give it a second go. The Wakening sounds good, too. Hope you have a great first week of the year!
Me too, I do love my structure:-)
Nice picture!
Where The drowned Girls Go sounds amazing to me. I really want to start that series (and the fact that they’re novellas helps). I love too how Mira Grant/ McGuire writes so MUCH.
She really is so prolific! She also has a novel coming out this year that I’m very excited for.
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on Such a Pretty Smile!

I just started it last night, and so far so good:-)
I’m glad you had a break. I’m looking forward to all your posts this week, though. Happy New Year.
Happy New Year, Anne:-)
Hope you have had a great start to the new year! I am curious about that Buffy verse style book and your thoughts…lol.
Well, my review is a little ranty, lol.
The photo is lovely, Tammy. Your husband is so talented. I love the clouds. I really need to read the Wayward Children series. Along with many other series on my list. LOL I hope you enjoy your reading and have a great week!

Thank you Wendy!
It’s gonna be a good book week! The wind turbine photo is so interesting . . . pretty, but kind of eerie!

I think the storm clouds make it even more eerie:-)
I really enjoyed The Starless Crown. Writing wise it was very “Rollins” but I had such a good time – those 560+ pages went by REALLY quickly.
I’m reading something else at the moment but I’m picking it up again soon:-)
Happy New Year, Tammy! I hear you on getting back to a normal routine. I’m ready for it too. Oh goodness, you’re reminding me that I have still yet to start that Wayward Children series even though I have the first 5 books on my kindle, lol.
