Nothing from me this week--I have been reading lots, but not reviewing; instead I am spending the last of my feeble strength trying to get the living room French doors sanded and reinstalled; they had spent the last fifty or so years down in the basement, which wasn't good for them. I thought (in my usual haplessly optimistic way) that it would be but the work of moments...ha ha ha.

Gave me pause, but I did review one fantasy book this week. Struggling with sanding anything... Ugh. I rather liked Max Helsing, and both the copies I ended up with have been checked out. http://msyinglingreads.blogspot.com/2015/11/max-helsing-and-thirteenth-curse.html
ReplyDeletesorry I missed that; you're in now!
DeleteThanks for including my Krabat review! My blog is not actually named Defense against the Dark Arts, that was my (perhaps unwise) attempt at a catchy post title...it would be a pretty cool name though.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, did you know this blog is lifting your posts:

...it gave me a pingback which is how I discovered it.
Oh dear--sorry about that! fixed now.
