Back to reality, and a happy birthday to JRR!
3rd January 2017
…and we’re back! A very happy new year to you all, here’s hoping that 2017 is as full of brilliant books as 2016 was. Fear not, it will be if we’ve got anything to do with it.
Aside from it being the first day back in the office today (we’re fighting the good fight and largely winning, thanks for asking…) it’s also the 125th birthday of JRR Tolkien.
Most of us (and, we’re guessing, you too) can count Middle Earth among our favourite fictional realms, and it’s fair to say we likely wouldn’t be doing what we do here without The Lord of the Rings. So, let’s all read a bit of JRR today to celebrate!
Things were busy over the Christmas period, and we’ve had a few reviews come in – the pick of the bunch is right here:
- Europe in Winter on the Curious SFF Reader https://thecurioussffreader.wordpress.com/2016/12/29/book-review-europe-in-winter-by-dave-hutchinson/
- City of Ice on Strange Alliances and Brainfluff
- The Feast of All Souls on This is Horror
- Ninefox Gambit made on Barnes & Noble’s best of 2016 list – well worth a read.
For those of you waiting to see who won our awesome Christmas competition, hold tight – we’ll be announcing a winner soon. Watch this space!
