I went to see a preview of Life of Pi (in 20th Century Fox's very swish private cinema - thanks to Canongate for inviting me!) which did mean I watched the film before reading the book. *Gasp* Catalogue Spotlight featured some of the fantastic 2013 line-up from Constable & Robinson. A bit late if you missed it earlier but here's my Christmas card to you all and a round-up of Bookish Advent. Finally, I chose my Top Twelve 2012.

Ooh you've changed your bacground colours... It looks so much better.. reading red and white on black backgrounds really hurts, and I must I skip a lot of your posts because of it.. but yay for the new design :-)
ReplyDeleteActually it was grey on grey... Black text on bright white is more straining on eyes and migraines. I did loads of research on it as lots of people moan about it and that was why it wasn't white on black, just made to appear that way. I know if a screen hurts my head, it's time not to look at the screen. I can't use Flickr or Google reader when I have a migraine because of all the white but no one seems to complain about that.
DeleteWhat a great round-up! Looking forward to whatever you post next :)
ReplyDeleteBest,
