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.
I can’t believe it’s only a week and a half until Christmas. I’m wrapping presents this weekend, so maybe I’ll be done early this year! My daughter has been in Asia for the past three weeks, touring with Luna Li, and before that she was on tour with Leith Ross for five weeks, so I haven’t seen her in a while! I’m so excited to see both kids for the holidays:-)
I hope everyone has a great week!
Upcoming reads & reviews:
I’m taking full advantage of December mood reading, which means I might not post any reviews this week. And 2026 is starting out great as far as books go! This past week I finished The Storm, which I loved. And I’m currently reading A Box Full of Darkness, which I’m loving even more! Both are January releases so I won’t post reviews until next month. I may try to read Good Boy, which I bought a few months ago. The author is a horror podcaster who I follow on Instagram, and I’ve heard amazing things about it. I also just accepted a self-published book for review, which I rarely do, but something about the author’s pitch made me say yes. Another One Bites the Past is about AI and 80s rock bands, I mean come on! This is a novella and I may just squeeze it in this week.
Other posts this week:
I’m not sure what will happen on the blog this week! Look for Future Fiction on Wednesday for sure, and hopefully I’ll be inspired to post something else.
In case you missed:
My posts from last week:
The Christmas Song Book Tag 2025
Snake-Eater for T. Kingfisher – Review 4.5/5 stars
Tea & Alchemy by Sharon Lynn Fisher – Review 4/5 stars
AW, sloth friend! Sam is going to love this one LOL.
Your daughter is living the life! Glad you’ll get to have both your kids around for the holidays.
Another One Bites the Past sounds awesome!
Also, I checked, and…YES! It is, indeed, about my favourite band ever! (the title hinted at that, but one can never assume LOL).
Great title, right? 😉
I’m hoping to start it later this week!
Aww, nice photo. I rarely accept self-published stuff too: I know there’s amazing stuff out there, but it’s hard already to keep up with mainstream stuff! So I usually focus on recommendations from friends.
You just can’t read everything, and I tend to stick with tried and true authors and publishers.
It will be lovely to have the children over. Your daughter sounds like she’s having a great time.
So, how did the Storm compare to the Heiress
Lynn 😀
I still love the Heiress more, but the Storm is really good too.
Happy reading this week and Badger looks cozy. 🙂 Enjoy the holidays with your family!
Thank you! You too:-)
I am so happy that your daughter is successful and that after Ben Barnes she is still touring! Good luck wrapping presents Tammy. I must buy wrapping paper LOL
She’s having so much fun and traveling the world!
Aww, Badger!! My son’s cat has the same little toy, and he drags it around the house meowing. It’s adorable. Looking forward to hearing about the next batch of books. Have a great week!
Thanks Lisa, you too!
Love Badger and his buddy. You have things in hand for the holidays. Great you will have your kids with you. I have no clue what I am doing about some things for the holidays. It’s been more dog planning than people planning stuff..
Love it! I have a big Christmas stocking for Badger I’m working on too:-)
Awwww! Badger is so sweet holding his friend! My posts have been slower, reviews especially, since I’m saving them all for one big wrap-up post for the Ho-Ho-Ho Read-a-thon. But that will be this week! I need to get back into some other books since I’ve met my goal for that. Your daughter is getting to do so many cool things now! Love that! Hope you have a good week. I’ve wrapped all the gifts I have, just waiting on a couple more as well as some gift cards I’ll buy and I’ll wrap them up so people still have something to open.
Thanks Lisa! I started wrapping today but I’m also making cookies so I feel so busy, lol.
Cute dog! I can’t wait for your thoughts on A Box Full of Darkness.
Thanks Bree!
I need to wrap presents this week too. Though first I have to get the tree up 🙂
I’m going to read Snake-Eater for the Speccy Challenge next year, and I’ve just added Another One Bites the Past to my inspiration list for novellas because what Gen Xer could resist!
Wishing you a wonderful week
You will definitely appreciate that a certain famous band is front and center in Another One Bites the Past:-)
That picture of Badger is super precious!!!
Thanks Stephanie! It’s one of his calmer moments, lol.
I’m still very behind with my Christmas organisation – but that seems to be the norm these days. But I’m beginning to look forward to seeing the family and having the boys both together again. The house is always more cheerful when Ethan is back. And that photo of Badger is adorable:)).
There’s something about having kids around that livens things up, right?
I don’t mean to ignore the book-related stuff, but “Best friend” just made me smile. Absolutely love that! 🙂
I know, so sweet, right? He usually tears up his toys, so it was nice to capture this moment. Unfortunately, soon after he tore both arms off the sloth!
looking forward to your first 2026 reviews!
Thanks Emma! So far I’m having good luck with the two 2026 books I’ve read.
Aww, I love the dog pic. I hope you have a great time with the kids!
Thank you!
I also enjoyed The Storm, my first 2026 book! I just couldn’t wait!
