Sunday Summary – 12th October 2025

Happy Sunday and welcome to today’s Sunday Summary roundup of the week! 

It’s been a busy week of content. Here on the blog, I shared my monthly wrap-up for September, my October TBR, and a Shelf Control post earlier this week. 

Over on Patreon, I shared my October TBR (early access before readers of my blog), a post about my Patreon purpose, plus details of an upcoming reading challenge and a new content format I’m trialling that will be available to subscribers. 

 

Books Read

Among the Burning Flowers 

I was hoping to share completion of my audiobook listen of Among the Burning Flowers this week. Alas, not quite. 

I’ve listened most days pretty consistently, so it’s not a lack of picking up the audiobook that’s the problem. I just didn’t quite listen enough. Had I been able to hear properly, I’d have been able to finish the book whilst mowing the lawns yesterday. However, I do struggle with that, so I generally listen to familiar music instead. I listen to Alex Warren’s album, You’ll Be Alright, Kid, a lot at the moment. 

Never mind – I am DEFINITELY sharing completion next week instead. No excuses. 

 

HR Disrupted 

In last week’s Sunday Summary, I also featured HR Disrupted. I was hoping again to finish this book this week so I can return it to the owner. However, as of drafting this post, I’m not quite there either. 

Never say never, I could finish it tonight with a bit of a push. Unfortunately, that’s not in time for this post, so it’s a little disappointing. Again, next week it will be a definite! I’m worried I’m losing the reading momentum of last month. It would be great for me to get that back. Finish these two reads, and I have a fresh start, right? 

 

Books Discovered

Once again, no news is good news this week! Surely I’m getting towards a record of the longest stint without any new books or additions to my TBR by now… 

 

Coming Up… 

Patreon 

I’m not going to get to a personal Sunday Summary type post tonight on Patreon – it’s already late evening as I’m drafting this! Instead, I’ll post a catch-up tomorrow with some more personal commentary than I do here on the blog. 

Surely I’m due to post a new review this week. It’s been a few weeks, so I’ll share my thoughts on the book club read alongside the Cotteagecore Fantasy Book Club, House of Frank. 

On Friday I’ll return with my next regular Friday feature, a First Lines Friday post. I haven’t got a particular theme or challenge in mind for this post. I’ll just see what I fancy nearer the time. 

Finally, I’ll be back next Sunday for a more timely weekly update post. I won’t leave it so late to post this time… 

 

Blog 

The first post to go live on the blog next week will be a Top Ten Tuesday post. The topic – Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time!

I’ve got some reads I need to march on with, so I’m actually going to leave it here and next share my Sunday Summary update at the end of the week. I need to get my reading mojo back! 

 

Have you made better reading progress than me this week? I hope so!
