Soooo many books…
So, these guys:
… are cool. They’re cool people who keep a cool blog and like cool books. Actually, more than that – they like awesome books. They like exciting fantasy and science fiction that’s intelligent, interesting, and not necessarily something you’d expect to find on the 2-for-1 table of your local bookshop with a picture of an Orc on the front cover. (I say that. So far I haven’t seen any orcs, but that could change…)
They also run an annual award, and this year I’m one of the judges. I get the feeling that I should probably have played harder to get when asked to do this, as the immortal words ‘Would you like to read 200 books’ are, apparently, something you’re supposed to respond to with cries of dread and approbation rather than with a triumphant bounce of glee and a cry of ‘whoopeeee!’ But um. Yes. That moment came, that moment went, and here we are. The first two books (I won’t say what) arrived this morning and I’m kinda quite excited now… I suppose the only question remaining being: where to put up the new shelves…?
