Real life distractions have got in the way of reading as of late. I did make it to a couple of events, The Book of Life launch party and one day of YALC; it’s always good to meet fellow bloggers, booksellers and publishing folk. Magically, the blog has kept itself filled but I don’t feel like I read much at all in July and I have loads of half read books on the go. I daren’t look at my Goodreads goal.

I am still going to Nine Worlds next weekend, so shout if you’re going and we can meet up. I’ll be there the whole weekend and am staying in the con hotel for once. I am likely to be wearing a ridiculous dress at Gollancz’s PROMNADO.

Here’s what made it onto the blog…
