Regular readers will know that I don’t do end-of-year posts. That’s because I am a regular contributor to the annual “Pleasures of Reading, Viewing, and Listening” series at the Aqueduct Press blog. Timmi has asked me to contribute again this year, and my column went live yesterday. You can read it here.

As you’ll see, there are lots of great books that I have not written reviews of yet. I just don’t have the time. Apologies to all concerned. Hopefully the brief mentions in that column will encourage a few people to try some very good books.

Also, I’m in very good company: sandwiched between Gwyneth Jones and Ursula K. Le Guin. Woot!
