Another trip around the book-o-sphere in this semi-regular feature.
Firstly, what was lost if now found thanks to kimbo at Reading Matters. I saw Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn, thought I’ll have to remember that, and promptly forgot about it. I’m glad it’s as good as it looks.
Darren at The Genre Files confirms that The Dresden Files is a series with legs and is as strong in book nine as it is in book one. I also read somewhere (was it the same page?) that there are 12 more planned. I got to get a move on!
The Red Wolf Conspiracy by Robert V.S. Redick could be in the running for fantasy debut of the year as it’s having a lot of buzz. The Robert aka Fantasy Book Critic gave it a good review so does Chris The Book Swede though Darren was a little disappointed.
Speaking of Chris he’s also given me a good reason to get Once Bitten, Twice Shy higher up the TBR pile.
Back to Reading Matters with a review that’s pushing The Book Thief back up the reading pile. I wouldn’t say my reading pile is in a state of flux it’s just that I when I find books harder going than I expected my reading rate falls and books have to get swapped around.
Dovegrey reader, doesn’t get mentioned too often though her blog gets checked everyday, has a review of a new book by Susan Hill. This one is a children’s book called, The Battle for Gullywith. And the beginning of the blurb says, ‘A stone army, an enchanted castle, mysterious ancient powers – and some very clever tortoises – Olly finds there’s more than meets the eye at Gullywith.’ I’m looking forward to this one! It’s not out until April.
As as aside, the swivet does a wonderful job of keeping an eye on what’s going on around the place 
That was just a small one. More next time.
Thanks for the mention
And cool books of February feature! Have a good weekend,
