You know you’ve read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.

It's time to take a look at what I've been reading and watching during this past week.
If you want to know more about the book, or the author, click on whichever it is you want to learn more about, and it will take you to the appropriate page on Goodreads. Clicking on my rating should take you to my actual Goodreads review for the book in question. Please bear in mind that the format I've reviewed on Goodreads may not be the format I actually read.
Alternatively, if it's a movie or TV show you want to know more about, just click on the title to go to a page where you can find out more details about the movie or TV show in question; the title links will usually take you to a page on IMDB.
Don't forget: I read and watch things across multiple genres, as well as for different age ranges, so you should always check before reading or viewing, to make certain something is suitable for the intended audience, especially when children are involved.
OK...
Here's what I read this week:
Scorned by Katrina CopeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is definitely another excellent addition to this series. Dragons and teenage drama all in one fantastic package, with great characters you'll be glad to get to hang out with.

Inflicted by Katrina CopeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Another awesome book by this author, and another excellent addition to this series. It's fantastic getting to see the characters - and their relationships with one another - evolving throughout the series, as the entertaining and action-packed plot unfolds. If you love dragons, you should definitely consider giving this one a read.

As for what I've been watching:
I only watched one DVD during the past week: the second disk of season one of The Shannara Chronicles.
Actually, that's all I watched all week, unless you count snatches of episodes of various TV shows that were on when I was in the living room for whatever reason. But I wasn't paying much attention to those, so I'm not even going to bother mentioning what they were; I only paid enough attention to know what was on each time, if I'm honest. So... Yeah... They definitely don't count.

Thanks for the tip on Katrina Cope! I can always use another good author to check out. And good on you, writing and reviewing two books in one week! I'll have to step up my game. : )
I'm reading a bio of Queen Victoria and just finished a good book about food and France. Not much on TV up here -- just catching up on Midsomer murders.
Cathleen:
Thanks for visiting, and you're welcome about the recommendation. :)
I often read a couple of books in a week, and have been doing better about reviewing them since I started featuring the reviews on my blog (which is part of why I started doing it; I knew that would happen). Don't feel bad if you can't. Though I know people who read more than me, most people don't read as much in a year as I generally do. Besides, it's the enjoyment of the reading experience that matters more than the quantity you read.
Jeanie:
Good choices. Hope you're enjoying the books... I'm sure I don't need to ask if you're enjoying Midsummer Murders. ;)
