The Weekly Progress: Thanksgiving Edition

The Weekly Progress is a type of wrap up post that happens every Sunday on The Sirenic Codex looking on the week that was.

It's a long weekend! WOOHOO! It was such an exhausting week and the weekend has been amazingly relaxing so far. Unlike most families, mine will have the whole turkey dinner thing going on tomorrow but that's only because we splurged on maple syrup goodies and chocolate on Friday. I'm in a great mood so let's start with the book stuff.

Books Read


I was so lucky! Both these books were amazing. Fear was creepy as hell and Vortex was even better than Insignia. Reviews are upcoming for both!

Currently Reading


Should be lots of fun!

Blog Recap

It started with a review. I didn't like Mystic City very much.


Mari did a manga review for the Sand Chronicles.

I finally posted my review of Steelheart! I love that book. I even asked my school librarian about maybe starting a book club for it. She never got back to me. :(

My final post was about negative reviews. I don't like them. What about you?

Happy Thanksgiving

It's Thanksgiving weekend! Thanksgiving is probably one of my favourite holidays. It's one where my family puts an effort to be together and have fun. We usually indulge in great food and in general it's a happy time. 

It's also a pretty thoughtful time because I realize how lucky I am. I have a great life and I don't appreciate it enough. Here are some blog related things I'm thankful for.
  • First of all, thank you for reading what I write. Thanks for letting me know my opinion matters. 
  • Thank you authors for writing great books. 
  • Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to review your books. 
  • Thanks to Mari for covering for me (like on Saturday) and generally being a great co-blogger. 

What are you thankful for? And have a great weekend everyone!

  4. Vortex was even BETTER than Insignia? Why have I not read it yet?! It's on my shelf, calling me. I just always seem to put it down even though Insignia was probably my favorite read last year. I'm horrible with sequels. Truly awful. But I am so, so glad you loved it :D

    1. It's really, really good! I hope you enjoy it! I was so surprised at how good Insignia was, and I was super happy with Vortex! I understand being bad with sequels though. I'm pretty awful as well :p
