Heartily concur with Lizzy, both the reading and interview with Joe Abercrombie were excellent as was the whole event - shame Graham Joyce didn't win but that's a whole other story........... |

Currently reading "The Life of Pi". A friend of mine was giving it out on World Book Night so I thought I'd give it a go, not very far in and it's a slow start, but I'm hoping it will pick u ... |

I have it on the good authority of Mr Jovialgnome, that it's ok but not as good as the trilogy. But not read it myself yet. I will do though.

Shame 'cause it's a great weekend and ... |

I've just read Matter of Blood by Sarah Pinborough; a really really good crime thriller, her best book that I've read to date.
Heartily agree with Lizzy, I've just finished and this is light years ... |
