Hmmm… is it just me or are there a lot of books scheduled to be released in June? Here are the ones I’m planning on getting (and one I bought today) - starting off with the historical romances:
Jo Beverley’s “Lady Beware” - This is the one I came across today and bought immediately. It’s part of her Company of [...]

The Royal Mail will be issuing Harry Potter stamps - err… I’m probably going to be really sad and actually buy them.
Here’s an interesting interview with Jacqueline Carey on Fantasy Book Critic (link via SFBC). She’s publicising her latest book “Kushiel’s Justice”, which is out June 14 - that’s definitely on my Must Get list. She writes [...]

I got back yesterday, after a rather hectic trip to Hong Kong and Tokyo. In the past week, I reckon I’ve spent more than 40 hours in airports and on planes - and then there were the trains and taxis and… let’s just say I’ve spent more time travelling than I care to remember in the [...]

So what did I read during April? 17 books in total (full list here) but some thoughts:

I have “No Humans Involved”! Just in time for the weekend, which just happens to be a Bank Holiday weekend as well. It’s all good! Now if only I could get hold of the latest Sookie Stackhouse…
