I started reading Long Dark Dusk today, it feels ages since there was a new Smythe but I guess that’s just because he used to have them coming out so close together before. However the final book in this trilogy will also be out this year, so yay for not waiting arbitary times for completion! If you haven’t read Way Down Dark yet, you can grab a bargain as the ebook is currently only 99p.
I’ve had some interesting sounding unsolicited copies lately too. I’m going to make a bit more effort to read the first chapters of these (unless it’s something definitely outside my preferences) as I might be missing out on something perfect. I’ve already read Head Over Heels and it gets a big Geek Girl thumbs up from me (review coming soon).

Hi there! I have been interested in posting my book reviews for a while online and I was wondering if I may be able to talk to you about it? I am forest_of_dream on Twitter and I would really really appreciate it if I could waste some of your time? Thank you anyway and I love your page!!
A lot of these are new to me, but I do have the first book for Long Dark Dusk. I love Geek Girl and dove into this as soon as I got my copy.
