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
I just joined Bluesky, thanks to a tweet from author Chris Panatier (yes, I see the irony of that sentence), who offered an invite code. If anyone else is there, please follow me (and I’ll follow you back!), I’m @booksbonesbuffy.bsky.social. Honestly, it looks very similar to the old Twitter. If all the good folks who were on Twitter switched over, it would be so nice:-) I’m not sure how you get an invite code, other than to keep your eyes open, but I hope to see you there!
One of these days my hubby is going to take some new animal photos, but in the meantime, below is another Badger photo. He seems to think he owns every chair, couch and bed in the house, lol. Have a good week, everyone!
Upcoming reads & reviews:
I just finished The Daughters of Block Island and loved it. If you love the feel of vintage gothic stories like Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, Northanger Abbey or The Woman in White, you’d probably enjoy this book as well. Watch for my review tomorrow! I’m also hoping to review A Season of Monstrous Conceptions this week, and maybe even a third review, we’ll see what happens. My next reads will probably be These Burning Stars and My Darling Girl.
Other posts this week:
Top Ten Tuesday this week is Books with Weather Events on the cover; Wednesday stop by for some new cover reveals on Future Fiction; and I might pull together a book haul post on Saturday.
In case you missed:
My posts from last week:
Bloom by Delilah S. Dawson – Review 3/5 stars

Great post
Thanks.
Followed you! @offbeatya.bsky.social
I guess that’s your reading spot in the pic? Because it looks taken, oops ;D.

thanks Roberta! Ha ha I know, there goes that spot!
Cutieeeeee Badger! 😀 You made me really curious about The Daughters of Block Island so I can’t wait to read your review of it.
I think you’d enjoy it!
I’d not heard of Bluesky, but I hope it ends up being something you’ll enjoy interacting on. Badger’s chair looks like an interesting little reading nook. Not sure I’d seen something like that before. I hope you have a great week, Tammy!
The chair is “my” chair (my favorite piece of furniture) so this is probably the last picture of Badger sitting in it, lol. Have a good week, Todd!
Badger is so cute!!!
Have a great week and happy reading!

Thanks Stormi, you too!
I followed you on Bluesky. I’m not in any way organized for all the social media I have followed to try to replace Twitter. I like the look of Bluesky. Are you sure everything in the house isn’t Badger’s? Always glad to see him

Ha ha, yes everything revolves around Badger right now;-)
Badger is looking great and seems like he is pretty cozy in that chair. Hope you have a great week!
He is cozy, lol. Thanks Barb!
Pictures of Badger are always welcome! lol. I haven’t even heard of BlueSky till now. I have tried leaping over to some of the new social media sites that are supposed to replace Twitter, but find myself not keeping up with them. I barely use Twitter anymore either though, so it makes sense. My old self is on Facebook the most, followed by TikTok and Instagram. Have a great week!

Instagram is my favorite social media site right now, but I’m hoping to dive into Bluesky once I figure it out:-)
Badger certainly seems perfectly at home! But yes, I miss your husband’s pictures!
The puppy has been taking a lot of our time, but hopefully he’ll go out shooting again soon:-)
I finished A SEASON OF MONSTROUS CONCEPTIONS yesterday & wrote my review this morning. It’ll be on my blog later this week. I thought it was another solid novella from the Tordotcom crew. I’ll keep an eye out for your thoughts, too!
I’m loving it, and I look forward to your review!
Have a great week and happy reading.

Thanks, you too:-)
I think this might be the first I’ve heard of Bluesky. Hope it works out. And I’m enjoying the photos of Badger in the meantime. 🙂
Thanks, he is a cutie:-)
Looking forward to your reviews. Will also participate in Top Ten Tuesday this week

I’m looking forward to your TTT post:-)
Just followed you over on Bluesky. It’s very early days but I think it might be quite good over there once I get the hang of how it all works 😀
The Daughters of Block Island sounds like one I would enjoy I think. I’m looking forward to your review.
Me too, I’m still trying to figure out what you can do on Bluesky, and it seems to have limited features at the moment.
I’ve been hearing good things about Bluesky. I haven’t been lucky enough to get an invite code yet but have been on the lookout for one. Awww, Badger is adorable!
Bluesky has some limitations right now, like I don’t think you can share links, but I think it’s just in the Beta stages.
I have a Bluesky code I can give you, Suzanne – Shoot me an email if you want it!
I totally get it, we let our pup get away with everything too, and he’ll steal my spot on the couch the moment I get up
It’s so hard to say no to them, especially when they are so cute:-)
I agree that Bluesky has been the best Twitter alternative I’ve found. I really hope that all the bookish people make there way over there!

I keep hearing about Bluesky and wondering what it’s like/if it’s worth it. Sounds like it has potential! That chair looks amazing, so Badger clearly has good taste in his picks, haha. Hope you have a great week!
Badger is going to get away with everything – that’s my prediction.
I’m on Bluesky but not really doing much over that just yet. I need to become more familiar.
