SUNDAY POST
23 November
This is part of the weekly meme over at the Caffeinated Reviewer, where book bloggers can share the books they’ve read and share what they have got up to during the last week.
Himself had the week off work. So we made a list of chores we wanted to get done and have managed a fair number of them. Notably, tidying and reorganising the bookshelf in our room – Amari keeps running across the books stacked on it and has brought down several volumes. Himself also sorted out his clothes and now has two bin liners of tee-shirts ready to deliver to the clothes bank tomorrow. He also made a trip to the nearest electrical recycling centre with all our broken/unwanted electrical equipment, including our dead desktop computers. He also has been cutting back some of the shrubs in the garden that have got out of control and spent half a day cutting them into small enough chunks to go into our gardening bin that gets emptied once a fortnight.

Review of AUDIOBOOK A Judgement of Powers – Book 3 of Inheritance of Magic series by Benedict Jacka
18 November
I enjoyed Jacka’s Alex Verus series. See my reviews of Fated (Book 1), Veiled (Book 6), Burned (Book 7), Bound (Book 8), Fallen (Book 10), Forged (Book 11) and Risen (Book 12). And I was absolutely blown away by the first book in this series – An Inheritance of Magic and also enjoyed An Instruction of Shadow, the second book. So when this one came out, it was a no-brainer that I’d get hold of a copy, though this time around it was the audiobook.
