Links: Other Places than here – 4th November Edition

This started off as the 1st of November Edition and NaNoWriMo and generally achy lethargy seems to be interfering with it.
Simon A @ bookgeeks.co.uk reviews The Domino Men by Jonathan Barnes. I read and enjoyed The Somnambulist earlier this year and I can’t wait for this one to be in paperback
SF Signal reviews The Living [...]

Update: July and other stuff.

Well it doesn’t look like I’m going to get my July Books round up done until Saturday And there are so many good books to mention and I’ve got the rest of my expanding RSS feed to go through. July hasn’t been the most productive month on the blog.
In other news Amazon.co.uk had [...]

Links to other places – 27 July Edition Part 1

Here we so again. I can’t believe it’s been three weeks since the last one. I’ve been slowly reading The Hundred Towered City by …. and Superpowers by . Apart from that not too much book related stuff going on. I’ve had some lovely looking review copies that I need to get reading and the [...]

I like Bank Holidays – links and other stuff.

I’m using this one to have a good push at catching up. I’ve done pretty well so far with my massive post on April books and getting past the halfway mark in Scar Night. Now I’m back on other blogs. I’ve been missing them and missed being able to comment on them. Here are a [...]

Update: Catching up – Books, Blogs and other stuff part 2

Around the book-o-sphere No.3

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 [...]

Around the book-o-sphere

Another posting in this semi-regular feature.
There are some books that you stand out when you see them and The Secret History of Moscow by Ekaterina Sedia is one of those books. It also shows the power of blog reviews (on which Susan Hill has some thoughts) to come up with books you’re unlikely to [...]

Around the book-o-sphere

Here’s what I’m hoping is going to be a semi-regular feature of things that have caught my eye on other blogs.
Fantasy Book Critic got there first with a review Debatable Space, the debut by fellow south Walian, Philip Palmer. What did he have to say?
Philip Palmer’s “Debatable Space” is one heck of a trip. [...]
