Scholar's Blog Book Discussion Group Reminder

This is just a quick reminder that the Scholar's Blog Spoiler Zone discussion of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Sheila of Wands and Worlds posted two lengthy comments overnight which are thoughtful and invite further discussion, so if you have the chance (and I realise most are busy with school about to or already starting up again for the new term), please stop by, and read and comment !

And yes, I am still here - still reading others' Blogs, though not posting much on my own. Sorry - the fiction writing bug that gripped me mid-July (to write Tenth Doctor/Martha stories) simply hasn't let go of me yet, so I'm still busy writing lots of shorter stories for them. I presume the pair's death-grip on my brain will lessen eventually and then I'll actually get back to writing other things...

Book Discussion Group - Reminder

Just a quick reminder that discussion of the next book, Garth Nix's Lady Friday begins next Tuesday, May 1 over on my Spoiler Zone Blog. If you've read the latest in Garth Nix's wonderful "Keys to the Kingdom" series, please feel free to come along next week and join the discussion - I think it's going to be pretty intense and I'm really looking forward to it !

Reviews to come

I apologise to everyone who's been hoping to see a book review here some time in the past week and found only poetry and vaguely writerly witterings. I've got reviews pending of The Fledging of Az Gabrielson (Jay Amory), The Swan Kingdom (Zoe Marriott), The Twin Dilemma (Eric Saward) and The Butterfly Tattoo (Philip Pullman), plus the non-fiction The Science of Doctor Who (Paul Parsons) this week. The reason I've not been writing reviews is that my fourth "Doctor Who" story was burning holes in my brain and I needed to get it onto paper before I could write anything else. Now that I've spent the entire Easter weekend doing just that, I can concentrate again (once my brain stops reeling from the shock of writing about 25000 words in the space of four days, that is!) So this will be a review-filled week, I promise.

In the meantime, don't forget the third Scholar's Blog Book Discussion has kicked off over on the Scholar's Blog Spoiler Zone - please do join in if you've read Terry Pratchett's A Hat Full of Sky.
