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
Anyone else in California? For the first time in over 80 years, a hurricane is projected to make landfall in California, Hurricane Hilary. We’ll see how strong it actually is once it gets to us, but everyone is getting ready. I’m near the big part of the “bat” at the top. I’m mostly worried about my new garden being destroyed. If you’re in the zone too, stay safe!
Upcoming reads & reviews:
This week I’ll be reviewing Mister Magic and Whalefall. Mister Magic was super weird, and I’m still not sure how I feel about it, lol. Whalefall is amazing so far! I still have a little to go but I’m in awe of Daniel Kraus. After that I’m hoping to read two lighter, fun books: My Roommate is a Vampire and Assistant to the Villain.
Other posts this week:
For Top Ten Tuesday’s Genre Freebie, I have something fun planned, so stop by! Wednesday I have three new covers/books to share on Future Fiction, and Saturday I’ll probably share my most recent book haul.
In case you missed:
My posts from last week:
101 Horror Books to Read Before You’re Murdered by Sadie Hartmann – Review 4.5/5 stars
The Friday Face-Off: Fourth Wing
Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas – Review 4/5 stars
Looking Glass Sound by Catriona Ward – Review 4/5 stars
Keep safe!
Thanks Sharon!
I hope you don’t experience a lot of flooding from Huricane Hilary!! Stay safe out there.
I pre-ordered ASSISTANT TO THE VILLAIN because the premise looked less serious than my usual reads, so it’ll be a nice change. As much as I’d like to read something “lighter” or funnier after I finish HE WHO DROWNED THE WORLD, I have to move to another ARC (THE PHOENIX KING).
Our house is on a slope so the water just goes down the hill and misses us, which is good when there’s a lot of rain. Thanks Celeste!
I hope you can avoid the worst of the hurricane, since you’re in the rear, so to speak. Curious about your thoughts on Mister Magic, which I hope to be able to read soon!
I thought we were going to get a lot of wind, but so far it’s just rain, which is good:-)
Keep safe! And I hope you would not suffer damages!!
Thanks Susy! So far we’re just getting a ton of rain:-)
I love that black and white photo. I hope you guys are safe in the hurricane!
Thanks Barb!
This hurricane thing is crazy! I hope you stay safe and don’t have much damage. I finished Mister Magic last night, and I kind of feel like you, not quite sure how or what I think of it. I just read a review of Whalefall and it sounds interesting! I also want to read My Boyfriend is a Vampire, but not sure when I’ll get to it. Hope you have a good, fingers crossed safe, week!

Thank you Lisa! Have a great week:-)
I look forward to reading your thoughts on both Mister Magic and Whalefall this week, and I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying Whalefall so far. Stay safe out there, Tammy!
Whalefall is probably my favorite book of the year so far:-) Thanks Todd, have a great week!
Urg! Best of luck and I hope that Hurrican Hilary avoids you! I love the sound of My Roommate is a Vampire – such a US dynamic as here in the UK, students don’t share rooms with anyone else when at uni. And Whalefall looks intriguing, if a bit grim:). Have a good week Tammy – and I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow and keeping my fingers crossed.
That’s so interesting about roommates. In the US it’s rare to have your own room in college:-) Have a great week Sarah!
Good luck with the storm! Hoping it won’t get too bad down here in your old neck of the woods, but we’ll see!
You too! We’ve been pounded with heavy rain since about 5:00 this morning and it’s supposed to rain all night. Perfect excuse to lie around and read:-)
I hope you’re staying safe and not too affected!
Roommate looks like a fun one. Take care and hope your weekend is a good one and safe. 🙂

Thanks Greg! Hope you have a good, safe weekend as well.
I hope you’re not impacted too badly by Hilary! Can’t wait to read Whalefall — looking forward to your review. And the vampire book looks super cute too. Have a great week!
Whalefall was AMAZING. And so far Hilary is just a bunch of heavy rain:-) Hope you have a great week too!
I love the photo. I hope you get some rain but nothing worse. The drought areas can use a bit of rain, but not too much all at once.

So far we’re just getting a lot of rain, and it’s supposed to stop tomorrow.
Hope it doesn’t get to bad and mess up your garden! Great pic of the Lake!

I’m a little worried about the garden, but hopefully it will bounce back:-)
Stay safe! I have Assistant to the Villain on my list too. Hope we both like it. And hope you have a great week, despite the hurricane.

Thanks! Yes, I hope we both like Assistant to the Villain:-)
I’m glad you are just getting rain, and apparently no risk of flood at your place

Me too, our house was fine, luckily:-)
I was surprised to hear about the hurricane in California. Very rare. Makes you really think about climate change. Be safe.
Laura Thomas recently posted…What’s New On My Book Shelf #406 And The Sunday Post
It does make you think about climate change for sure! We ended up getting a ton of rain, but no wind, so that was good.
Hope you stay safe and miss the worst of that weather.
Your two lighter, fun reads look really appealing so I’m looking forward to your reviews for those.
Have a great week 😀

Thanks, you too!
I hope Hilary goes easy on everyone – and that your garden survives.
Have a lovely week.
Lynn 😀
Thanks Lynn! Hilary wasn’t too bad for us. Just a lot of debris on the roads now.
OMG Tammy I hope you’ll be safe! That’s crazy!
We are fine, we’re lucky the way our house is positioned the water just goes by on either side.
Stay safe!! I hope the storm doesn’t hit you too hard or ruin your garden ♥

We ended up getting 8 inches of rain! But the garden is fine, surprisingly:-)
I hope you guys made out ok with the weather.
Thanks Kimberly! We are fine, although our main road out of town is flooded so you can’t get through very easily.
Waving at you from the #818!! We had rain and felt the Ojai earthquake, but that was about it for us. Hope your garden survived!
