For those interested, they died to our Geordie pet Lizard, War Dragon. We reckon if we had survived we could have taken Zagor after all! Dang it! We're off opening doors for a long time, mind.

Some people like to peek in people's medicine cabinet. I would like to peek into their fridges.

Probably my last read before , 2 days to read Percival Everett's Erasure. He is one of my fav writers. His novels are funny, intelligent and sharp. He is seriously underappreciated.
Definitely in the category of

Having fun with Margaret Atwood's Old Babes in the Woods. About half through the collection of short stories. Science fiction doesn't hold my attention, even works by such a great author. My Evil Mother was a delight. Tig & Nell stories are right up my alley.

It's all about this weekend. And food, of course.

Reading Martha Gellhorn's Travels with Myself and Another (1978).

Things I do not like in a novel:

No speech marks

Second person narration

Overly long sentences with commas where I feel there should be full stops.

My current read commits two of these sins, but I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt. It’s Intimacies by Katie Kitamura, the story of a Japanese-American interpreter who leaves New York to work at the International Court of Justice at The Hague

Take a look at this great round up of the London Book Fair. We're excited to see that fantasy is the next trend! We'd never peg ourselves to be trendy people but I guess we were wrong.
