And today, in light of its being the massive book blog love-fest week, and today being the day where we all say thanks for particular books, here are some that I’d never have read if it weren’t for various people (see below):
Thanks to an adventure in reading for Douglas Coupland – particularly Eleanor Rigby.
And to Nymeth for Patrick Ness and Bayou. I know went on and on about how scary Bayou was (and I was not exaggerating, that book was scary as hell), but it was also gorgeous and amazing.
And oh, also, A Life in Books – thanks for liking Sarah Waters; I was all, shoot, if this lady likes The Ghost of Opalina, I assuredly will trust her about this Sarah Waters character. Totally the right thing to do because Sarah Waters is fantastic.
And many others of course, but these are some authors I am particularly pleased with this year. Hooray!
