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’m excited to have this week off work, and I’m hoping to finish off a bunch of books I’m in the middle of (see below). It’s hard to believe the end of the year is almost here! I’m planning on following the Top Ten Tuesday prompts for the end of the year lists, so my “Best of the Year” list will be posted on January 2nd. Is anyone else going to wait until then to post your list?
In weather news, we (finally) have a storm coming this week. Although we won’t get much snow, but lots of rain. I’m traveling for Christmas so hopefully the weather will clear up before then.
Upcoming reads & reviews:
So my reading is all over the place right now. I’m currently reading three different books: A Child Alone With Strangers, a backlist book I was determined to read this month (it’s very long but VERY good and scary!); Where He Can’t Find You, another horror story that is surprisingly creepy and terrifying (“surprising” because it’s YA); and Where The Dead Wait, which is getting better the more I read (at first I was struggling with the writing style). I did finish Mislaid in Parts Half-Known, but will hold my review until next month. This week look for at least one review, we’ll see how it goes!
Other posts this week:
On Tuesday I’m sharing my 2023 Reading Challenges Wrap-Up, so stop by and see how I did! Wednesday is my typical Future Fiction post; and I’ve got some new books to share, so look for a book haul post on Saturday.
In case you missed:
My posts from last week:
The Ghosts of Beatrice Bird by Louisa Morgan – Review 5/5 stars
I’m going to do the Top 10 lists for a week with Books of My Heart the last week of December, so my top 10 will be on Christmas I think? I’m so ready for my break to start on Thursday so I can get lots of reading done! Hoping to catch up to my goal and maybe be able to nudge the Goodreads back up to 200 from where I dropped it to 195. Plus, being home means I can get to all your reviews I still need to read that I can’t get to on my school internet when I try to do that. Have a good week! Love the bird picture again too!

I’m looking forward to everyone’s lists:-)
That’s awesome you will have the week off. I hope you get lots of relaxing and reading. We are doing our lists between Christmas and New Years but you can link up later. I’ll be excited to see your lists.

I’ll definitely link up later:-)
I hope you’ll travel safely for Christmas Tammy!
Thanks Sophie!
Safe travels, and happy holidays!
Thanks Lisa you too!
I’ve been super interested in the Darcy Coates book–it looks intriguing to me. I’ll be on the lookout for the review!

It was really really creepy!
I’m probably going to post my best of list just before the end of the year, because in December I am feeling very sluggish and I’ll need something to post, lol!
Ha ha yeah my blog has been a little sluggish this month, but I’m trying to read at least 4 January books ahead of time so I can… get ahead;-)
Cool bird pic!
I need to think about doing end of the year content on here to make up for lack of posting…lol. I have been doing 25 zDays of Bookmas on my youtube channel….and did some runner ups since I have a lot of books I liked but wasn’t favorite’s…lol.

Wow, I can imagine that takes a lot of time to do the Bookmas videos.
I’m doing my best of the year then too. And weeks off are good! I’m curious about Mislaid- those dinos on the cover don’t hurt. 🙂

It’s funny, the dinos aren’t a very big part of the story.
I like that bird picture. It look like he thinking of something.

I think you’re right:-)
Lovely bird photo, as usual! I hope you have a lovely time during your week off of work! 🙂

Thanks Celeste!
Enjoy your time off.
I love the Heron pic, such lovely colours.
Where The Dead Wait is one I’m thinking of adding to my endless TBR list, it sounds perfect for this time of year with that setting 😀
Thank you:-) Where the Dead Wait is perfect for winter:-)
I’m off the week of Christmas and work is always a drag this time of year. I haven’t been reading as much either because of all the holiday prep so I’m looking forward to the weekend which will mean all is done and now I can just chill. My college alma mater is in a bowl game tomorrow evening so I want to watch that too even though they are predicted to lose. Hope you travel plans go off without a hitch!
Thanks Barb! I hope you have a nice week off:-)
Yep,I always wait for the New Year to post my Best of list – I’m just so optimistic – what if you read something fantastic in the next few days?
Lynn 😀
Ha ha exactly!
I’m planning my best books list for the 28th, but I’ll post my best photos on the 2nd, so you have some company there. 🙂
Sounds good, it’s really my favorite time of year, reading everyone’s best of lists.
I don’t usually post my “Best of the Year” lists until January, either. I’m still actively reading until the end of December, so you never know when a last favorite might pop up, haha. I’m curious how this upcoming storm will pan out, I feel like it’s hard to predict how heavy things will be in SoCal until it happens, haha. I hope you’re able to finish off all the books you want and have a wonderful week off!

They keep downgrading our storm up here in the mountains, so now we’re just getting a little rain and maybe a tiny bit of snow, which is ok with me:-)
I’d love a week off to read, read and read! And mine is all over the place too. Mysteries, thrillers, romance children’s and my favorite…. horror!

I hope you get some time off soon!
I envy your week off to read. I took a couple days off, and even went away, to read recently, but I ended up chatting the whole time with my friend and barely reading 2 pages of all the books I brought, lol. It was fun.
I too plan to wait until the new year to do “best of” lists. I only do them in the old year if I know I won’t complete anything new before the year ends.
Hey, at least you had fun! I’m getting less reading in than I hoped, but loving my time off work.
