New Releases: Burton and Swinburne in the Strange Affair of Spring Heeled Jack by Mark Hodder (Snowbooks)
Summer Reads 2009
My To Be Read pile count match the leaning Tower of Pizza – though I think mine wobbles more. To bring it to some sort of order as well as to bring some focus here are my choices for Summer Reads 2009.
I’ve organised them into batches and I have to complete each batch before I [...]
Release Round-Up: Missing from May and New to June, Mostly
I had a request for more summary posts on the blog rather than spreading promotional posts out of over the month. You might still see a few promotional posts this month either because I’ve only just heard about a book and it can’t wait until July or that I’ve forgotten about it and I want [...]
Promo: Thicker Than Water by Mike Carey (Orbit)
Thicker Than Water by Mike Carey (Felix Castor Book 4)
Old ghosts of different kinds come back to haunt Fix, in the fourth gripping Felix Castor novel.
Names and faces he thought he’d left behind in Liverpool resurface in London, bringing Castor far more trouble than he’d anticipated. Childhood memories, family traumas, sins old and [...]
Promo: Small October Selection
Introduction
My usual way of finding a months releases is a mixture of books received, books I’ve heard about and books that I’ve found scouting out publishers websites and Amazon. This month is not exception. Being a little time poor and at the [...]
BOOKLIST: July’s selection with links and comment
Well it’s what? The 11th or 12th of August so this is a bit late. I had hoped to get it done before I went away for the week but I kept finding more and more books I like the look/sound of. So here in no particular order is a non-exhaustive selection of UK book [...]
June Book List
I know it is July but I’m beginning to like doing round-ups at the end of the month rather than before. One good thing is that you should be able to buy them now. Another is that I can add links and comments from other places. Also I’m able to include books I might otherwise [...]
May Release Selected Highlights
Ok, so may is almost over but the good news is that you should be able to buy any of the books listed. All expect one are British releases though a lot of them have had or are having an American release. It’s a mix of new releases and paperback releases. I’ve cut it down [...]
Other places than here – around the blog – o – sphere
I’ve been quiet as I had stalled. I’ve been greatly enjoying Scar Night by Alex Campbell and Cell by Stephen King. But both have been read slowly page-by-page one at a time and both have reached the 100 page mark or there abouts. It’s nothing to do with them as stories. It’s more me as [...]

Some April Releases that Caught my Eye on Amazon.co.uk
Going on Amazon is a really dangerous thing for me, as is stepping in places that sell books, as I usually end up buying something. On this occasion I resisted buying anything but here are some of the books that caught my eye. I’ve also added a couple of moments about why they looked interesting.
It’s [...]
