There's a couple of other people doing the same thing but with journals. Oh to be gainfully employed

Reign of Beasts ? Haven't heard of that one *looks over me shoulder for signs of vengeful lamias* :D.

Mistification is Kaaron's book? Saladin Ahmed's book was recently brought to my attention by the Waldorf and Statler of scifi pod casting (Jonathan and Gary), but Coming of the Whirlpool I have not heard of.

Thanks Thoraiya

Saw you mention elsewhere that you don't get enough comments when you review Gosh don't I sound self centred :). I think comments on reviews is a general problem for most bloggers. Reviews soak up more time than any other blog post yet often are the least commented on.

Oh and I LOVE the comments I do get and commenters who are regulars
.
I've been yapping about When We Have Wings to everyone who will listen, so I guess you weren't listening

I need to broaden my information gathering net obviously B) (you are not on twitter are you)

I guess the only answer to the issue is to try and get a book that you think deserves attention up on the radar, perhaps through semi regular posting.

Things We Didn't See coming never heard of it..... :D

I note that I get most of my book recommendations from pod casts, namely Galactic Suburbia and Coode Street. I never developed a taste of cultural affiliate with any of the broadsheets either so I really have no signposts for contemporary literature. My studies at university consisted of Elizabethan, 19th Century American and a smattering of Science Fiction.

Claire Corbett mentioned that despite getting a glowing review in Aurealis, she didn't detect much of a buzz (paraphrasing here) in the community. Is this because the community is fragmented on state lines?

I received Yellowcake for my birthday, but that will go to the TBR pile. You'l probably have Sea Hearts finished before I do, the speed that you read at :D

I'll read the entire trilogy as I'd like to see what she's going to do now that she's populated the world and given us such a vivid picture.

It does move slowly to begin with and if you have issues with present tense it might put you off.

I might try and chase down the book she speaks about in the afterword - an out of print publication about the horrors of Hiroshima to see how much of the visual description is based on historical fact.
