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
My long weekend is over, sadly. I had a lovely time with my family, especially my kids. And I also had a lot of downtime just hanging around the house, reading and doing chores. My daughter and I also did a little Black Friday shopping! Oh, and I saw Wicked, which was AMAZING. I can’t believe it’s a whole year before part two comes out. I have the sudden urge to reread the book by Gregory McGuire (the stage musical was based on the book). Let me know if you’ve seen it as well:-)
Upcoming reads & reviews:
This week I’ll post my review of Beneath the Poet’s House for sure, and maybe another review later in the week, but I don’t yet know what that will be. My next read will probably be The Daughters’ War (I’m working on catching up with unread ARCs this month), and then I only have two other December ARCs to read, Ardent Violet and the Infinite Eye and The Last One.
Other posts this week:
Tomorrow I’ll be sharing my reading plans for December on What’s On My Plate; Tuesday is a Top Ten Tuesday Freebie, so check back to see what list I’ve come up with; and Wednesday is Future Fiction, and I spotted some cool cover reveals last week.
In case you missed:

My daughter took these two photos of Badger, one when he was only about 12 weeks old, and the second one is from this weekend. Crazy!
Aww! Badger is the cutest boy ever!!
He really is! And he’s still cute, even four times as big, lol.
I’m just finding out that Wicked is going have part 2 so now I’m wondering if the movie follows the show or whether it’s only part of the story. Really looking forward to watching it.
What a difference in those two photos of Badger, both cute though 😀

If you’re familiar with the show, Part 1 is the first act of the musical, Part 2 is the second act. It was a great adaptation, but I definitely wonder how they’re going to turn act two into a whole other movie!

I have seen the musical, and I was also wondering how they were going to stretch out that second act! It’s also much darker than the first half, so that will be interesting…
Part one of Wicked ends after the first Act of the musical, so it’s following it pretty closely.
I just went to watch the trailer of Wicked and now I want to watch it! Also Badger has grown so much!
It’s amazing, such a beautiful film, and Ariana Grande is so good!
Badger is so cute! I need to read Wicked first so I can watch the film.

Thank you! If you haven’t seen the musical you might be a little lost, so reading the book isn’t a bad idea.
Badger has grown so much!! I haven’t read Wicked and don’t have a desire to watch the movie, but it seems very popular. Glad you enjoyed it.
Have a great week and happy reading!

He really has! Thanks Stormi, enjoy your week:-)
Good to hear you had such a nice holiday. Love the Badger photos!
Thanks Anne! I love seeing how much he’s changed.
Little Badger looks like a lamb LOL. What a difference a year makes…(It looks like he loves to chill in the same spot, though, more or less…).

He does! Or a goat, lol. He does love sleeping in the middle of the kitchen floor, especially if someone is in there cooking:-)
That’s pretty wild to see how much Badger grew in a year.
It’s a little shocking right?
Oh wow, you got the new VE Schwab, congrats! I think I’m going to skip chasing an ARC for that one and just buy it when it comes out. 🙂
I also saw Wicked and really enjoyed it!

I’m sure there will be some awesome special editions of the Schwab book:-) Glad you also enjoyed Wicked!
Oh my gosh, look at tiny Badger! I went and saw Wicked too. I also was thinking I needed to get the book out and look at it as well. Of course I thought that after going to see the musical back at the beginning of this year I think. Can’t believe break is over and it’s back to work tomorrow. Blah. Oh well, Have a good first week of December!

It’s going to be hard to work tomorrow for sure! I hope you have a good week:-)
Badger’s grown up!! What a cutie. I’m so jealous you saw Wicked (but happy to hear that you loved it.) I was supposed to go last week, and then the person I was going with got sick. Hopefully, we’ll find time this coming week!
I hope you enjoy Wicked when you get to see it! I’m pretty sure you will:-) I’m such a big Ariana Grande fan now!
I have not seen Wicked but would love to. So glad to hear your take on The Teller of Small Fortunes. It sounds so good. Epilogues tend to be my favorite part of the book. Badger has gotten so big! Even our fur babies grow up,
Carla recently posted…The Sunday Post #11: Seeking Silence
I love when an author nails the epilogue, and you’re right, they can be some of the best parts of the book:-)
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Wicked. I really need to watch that movie soon!

Yes, do watch it, so much fun:-)
Badger looks comfortable 🙂
I’m looking forward to seeing Wicked
wishing you a happy reading week
Thanks Shelleyrae! Enjoy Wicked when you see it:-)
Little Badger went and got big. Big Badger. So cute.
Lynn 😀
I have to agree, he’s adorable:-)
Glad you had a nice holiday. I want to get Teller of Small Fortunes. That cover is awesome!
Oh my Badger has GROWN.

Thanks Greg! And yep, Badger’s a monster now, lol.
I can’t believe how much Badger has grown! I read the McGuire book when it was first released but remember little about it. Glad you enjoyed the time with your family.
We never expected him to get this big!
Agree—Wicked was awesome! I want to see it again.
