![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Published as an e-book by Spellbound Books on 18th September, in paperback on 25th September, and it’s now available in hardcover too – the e-copy I read was my own, pre-ordered and purchased via Amazon. So first, the quite wonderful The Seamstress of Warsaw by Rebecca Mascull. But I was horrified to find that there are two books I’ve read this year that I’ve totally forgotten to review as I’d planned – I always thought I was one of the most organised people on the planet, and it was a nasty surprise to find that I have my “moments” too! So, I’ll be sharing two rather shorter-than-usual reviews today, in two separate posts (and apologies to the authors for my unforgivable lapse) – they were both books I loved, and I really wanted to help bring them to people’s attention. There are always a few books I read that I choose not to review – I’ve already mentioned the audiobooks (you’ll find that post here), and it’s also rare for me to review books that I read and discuss with my book club (it always somehow feels like cheating!). I have done a first run through – 73 contenders at the moment, so still rather a lot of work to do! This year, I’m going to postpone publishing my list until the lull between Christmas and New Year – I have quite a few (ah, the art of understatement!) Christmas books I’d like to read and review before January comes, and I thought it might be a nice way to end the year before taking the month-long break I’ve promised myself. This is usually the week when I endure the torture of putting together my Books of the Year list – and no, that’s honestly not true, because I really do enjoy going through the year’s reviews and remembering the pleasure every book has given me. ![]()
