The Week in Books: May 29 – June 4

What a week. It all got a bit busy at work again but then I had a lovely weekend hanging out with friends and watching Buffy Revamped, as well as the Formula One on Sunday. In book terms, I really didn’t mean to read the new Elissa Sussman as soon as it arrived, and I was doing really well until Sunday early evening where I lost all my will power and read it from cover to cover, stopping only to eat dinner. Big whoops because it was great and now I’m going to have to wait a year at least for something else from her. This week is scheduled to be a big week in new releases that are in my personal wheelhouse – so I’m not ruling out accidentally doing the same thing again this week.
