This should keep me busy for a while…
As I mentioned in my post on Saturday, it’s summer in my part of the world and without uni to keep me busy I finally have a chance to read all the books that have been piling up over the year. The plan is to review one of these books every Monday between now and February. I’ll be looking at plot, characters, style, storytelling and overall impressions as well as letting you know how I found out about these books, where I got them and where you can find out more about them.

Wow. You’re going to read and review all of those between now and February!! Zowie.
I’m basically on holiday until then except for some part time work so it should be a breeze. (Famous last words :P)
Ha, ha, ha, ha . . . yeeeeaaaaahhhhhh . . . every time I think that I’m doomed. I wish you luck, my friend. 😀
Hehe thanks 🙂
This looks like an awesome pile! I’m especially interested in the Pendragon ones; visiting Glastonbury mademe really want to brush up on my Celtic mythology.
I always come back to Celtic mythology and especially the Arthurian legends. They are just so interesting! Hopefully these books will do the legends justice. 🙂
