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
Happy Labor Day Weekend to those who are celebrating! I’m excited to have an extra day off work, since I have so many amazing books coming up this month and I need more time to read. As I’m typing this, it’s raining again up here, but it’s supposed to stop soon and the rest of the week will be in the 60s/70s. Bliss! My hubby took a really nice photo of the recent supermoon right near our house, and I’ll share it below. Have a good week, everyone!
Upcoming reads & reviews:
September is going to be an outstanding reading month, I already know because I’ve read my first two books and wow. I started The September House on a whim last week, and it turned out to be such an emotional, funny and unique take on the haunted house trope, I can’t wait to share my review later this week! I’m just about finished with Schrader’s Chord, and all the buzz is true. This is an excellent story about evil records, ghosts, family dynamics and of course, music. It feels a bit like vintage Stephen King, and I love that it’s a straight forward, linear story without any time jumps (just about everything I read has a dual timeline, it seems). Look for my review on Thursday. After that I’ll probably knock out two shorter September 12th releases, What Kind of Mother and Starter Villain.
Other posts this week:
I’m hoping to jump on The Friday Face-Off on Friday, I’ve gotten out of the habit but I do have some cover comparisons I’d love to share. Look for Future Fiction on Wednesday, and if I can find a good one, I may do a book tag tomorrow, just for fun.
In case you missed:
My posts from last week:
What’s On My Plate – September 2023
Cruel Angels Past Sundown by Hailey Piper – Review 4/5 stars
My Roommate is a Vampire by Jenna Levine – Review 3.5/5 stars
OMG look at that super moon. I’m fascinated by the moon and the stars and nearly gone in a ditch plenty of times through looking up at the sky instead of where I’m going when out with the dogs at night.
I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for Schrader’s Chord.
Have a good week.
Lynn 😀
Thanks Lynn! That’s so funny, I’m the kind of person who always looks at the ground because I’m so clumsy, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve twisted my ankle, lol.
That pic is awesome. I’m hoping to get to September House this coming week and an extra reading day is always nice. Have a great week!
Thanks Barb! I hope you love September House too:-)
That is a very cool pic!!! I can’t wait to see what you think of The September House, I know we don’t always agree on books but I have that one and I am really hoping I like it as it sounds fun!
Have a great week and happy reading!

Thanks Stormi! I hope The September House works for you. It was really different and pretty scary at times:-)
The weather has been 100+ every day here for so long. I cannot wait for cooler weather. It’s just miserable here. Ooh, sounds like I need The September House. Schrader’s Chord sounds great, too.

I remember those 100+ days where I used to live, it’s one reason we moved. Hang in there, cooler weather is bound to come soon!
Enjoy your long weekend Tammy! And that picture of the supermoon is just amazing! It should be a poster!
Thanks Sophie!
Your hubby got a fantastic shot!
I’ll look for your review of the September House, I need something to read for halloween
Wishing you a great reading week
Thanks Shelleyrae! I hope you have a good week too:-)
Your husband is a much better photographer than the quick shots we took. Your weather does sound great. I’m hoping we will get to more 80s in September as usual. Enjoy the long weekend and your new reads.

Well, he does have very expensive lenses and equipment, so I’m sure that’s the reason.
That photo of the supermoon is stunning… And do enjoy the long weekend and diving into those books, Tammy – it looks as though September is going to be a bumper month:)).
Thanks Sarah! September is already starting out to be an amazing reading month:-)
The super moon photo is really beautiful. It would make an amazing background!
It would! My husband has already sold some prints of it, I guess people really like it:-)
Happy Labor Day Tammy!!!
Great pic!

Thanks Greg, you too!
I can’t wait to see what you’ll think of Scalzi’s latest novel, Tammy! Happy reading! 😀

I’m reading Starter Villain right now and it’s silly but fun:-)
Fantastic super blue moon photo! Sadly it was quite overcast in northern Virginia, so I had to wait until the next night to see a day old moon. It was still cool!
Thanks Celeste! It lasted a few days, so I’m glad you finally got to see it.
That picture look pretty. I like the golden glow and car headlights with the purple sky.
Have a great week.

Thanks, you too!
We finally got a cool down from 100+ to 90s. I’m so ready for fall.

Ugh that is still hot! I hope fall comes quickly.
For some reason the photo of the supermoon makes me think of the cover of The Killing Moon by NK Jemisin.
Oh I know exactly which cover you’re talking about!
That moon picture is gorgeous! I have got to find time to go read your review of My Roommate is a Vampire since I was so excited for that one too. The September House looks good, and I’ve become a new John Scalzi fan after the audiobooks I listened to in the last year. Hope you had a nice labor day weekend!

Thanks Lisa, I hope your Labor Day was good as well:-)
Great photo! I’m glad your September started with such great books. I hope Starting Villain will be good, too.
So far I really like it, it’s very much a “Scalzi” book.
Starter Villain is on my list!
And send us some of that cool weather, please. It’s been a miserable, hot summer, with very little rain and a whole lot of days with temperatures over 100 (and stupid heat indices, too). We actually got a decent rain yesterday, and that cooled us off for half a hot second. It’s back to being hot, though. Fall will get here – someday!

So sorry to hear about your awful, hot weather. I hope Fall comes soon!
Oh my goodness, I started September House yesterday, and like you it was kind of on a whim, but I’m loving it! The humor/tone of it reminds me a lot of T. Kingfisher so far.
I hadn’t thought of T. Kingfisher until you mentioned it, but you’re right:-)
