Jumbled Words

I read a lot these days. I am discovering new favourite authors. New favourite genres. And I write about it. A lot. So, I figured this section needed it’s own little page. Here I will collect titles of books I want to read. When I’ve read them, there will (probably) be a link to a review. Or a brief mention in a blog post about many other things. I am not planning to do this seriously, as this is mostly so I will remember the books I’ve read (and which I want to read!) so it will be a bit half-arsed. Sorry about that. You can probably find proper reviews if you search the net.

Many of these books are recommendations from Lee Wind, whose book reviewing blog is one of my absolute favourites, or from my Australian Book Fairy (I’m her writing fairy, she’s my book fairy, everyone’s happy!).
