Sunday Mornings is my catchup time for other blog – which usually means that I’ve missed taking active part in some interesting comments but gives me chance to have a good look over everything. So here are a few posts that are the from the last week of so that I thought you might like:
marcusgipps: Thicker Than Water, by Mike Carey – more thoughts on Mike Carey’s take on Urban Fantasy
marcusgipps: The Gay Divorcee, by Paul Burston – only because it’s the first time I’ve seen reference to ‘gay chick lit’
marcusgipps: The Forest of Hands and Teeth, by Carrie Ryan – another book I’m not the target audience for but it’s interesting to see what YA are reading. I wonder what affect that’s going to have on the future of adult titles?
marcusgipps: The Year of the Flood, by Margaret Atwood – I’ve read two Margaret Atwood’s so far. Need to read a third. Could this be it?
Walker of Worlds: Book Haul 27/06/09 – just to prove that book bloggers do read books. I’ve actually bought all of these except Retribution Falls, which I will get in ebook form when it’s pb priced (or maybe beg a copy off Gollancz?). I didn’t like Consider Philabas -I have The Algebrast to try him again, Big Jim Buthcher fan and yet to read the other two.
Fantasy Book Critic: “Jasmyn” by Alex Bell (Reviewed by Liviu Suciu) – I have to say that I’ve tried this one and it wasn’t for me. You’ll have to ask me if you want to know why 
Fantasy Book Critic: “Lord of Silence” by Mark Chadbourn (Reviewed by Mihir Wanchoo) – going to London to Forbidden Planet to see ‘my favourite fantasy writer ever in the world’ on the 9th July. I’m going to get this read by then. I’m wondering how it’s going to differ from what I’ve read before?
Speculative Horizons: Blood of Elves extract and Gemmell Award photos – Interesting choice for the Gemmell – shame it was from public vote. Ordered it. Will see how I get on
Primal by Robin Baker | Highlander’s Book Reviews – going to try this one. Hmmm not sure. But you can only try?
Merlin’s Wood by Robert Holdstock | Highlander’s Book Reviews – I’ve been hearing a lot about Mythago Wood – so may have to try it first.
Graeme’s Fantasy Book Review: ‘Retribution Falls’ – Chris Wooding (Gollancz) – another mention of Retribution Falls – it’s one of those books where I’m not sure if it’s really me but if I keep hearing about it I want to know what I’m missing.
Falcata Times: SCIENCE FICTION REVIEW: Stone – Adam Roberts – This is one of my favourite ever sci-fi stories- the narrator does an amazing job all the way until the end. Brilliant
Falcata Times: FANTASY REVIEW: The Colour of Magic/The Light Fantastic: Anniversary Edition – Terry Pratchett – I’ve got all Terry’s books and I saw this the other day. The illustrations are amazing. If only it was one of the Terry books I actually reread – I do reread a few of them 
Jennie’s Review: Johannes Cabal: the Necromancer, by Jonathan L. Howard | Bookgeeks – this is one of the books you just have to try. Look for a review soon.
Simon P’s Review: Stone’s Fall by Iain Pears | Bookgeeks – The opening of An Instance of the Fingerpost bored me to tears. Nothing worthwhile happened. The setting and the language were fine. Again one of those writers that you hear good stuff from so I’m wondering if it’s me.
Simon A’s Review: Fall of Thanes, by Brian Ruckley | Bookgeeks – another reminder that after reading the first in the series it’s worth reading the other two!
Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist: Fall of Thanes – and other and it’s a review on the Hotlist. Shocking!
A Dribble of Ink » Blog Archive » Review | Blood of Ambrose by James Enge – just to show that we can do negative reviews.
An Interview with Jo Graham « Davebrendon’s Fantasy & Sci-Fi Weblog – must admit that this series is one that isn’t for me. Not enough magic! But it might temp you.
More info on The Magicians by Lev Grossman ~ Mad Hatter’s Bookshelf & Book Review – more links and stuff for this book.
Speculative Fiction Junkie: Book I Couldn’t Finish – The Glister – and to show that people are allowed not to finish books.
That’ll do you and me for now I think.
