I’ve mismanaged my time again this summer, and not prepped a review to go out. On the plus side, Extra Shiny was out last Thursday.
Their book club is discussing The Paying Guests, and they are running a poetry competition! I reviewed Tender by Belinda McKeon – which I loved. I think everyone should read it.
Here are some other Extra Shiny bits I enjoyed:
- Susan’s review of A Spool of Blue Thread
- Harriet’s review of Mermaids
- Victoria’s review of The Enchanted April
- and their Extra Links makes for good reading
I think I’ll make September the month where I get back to normal.

Isn’t Tender amazing?! I loved it when I read it. Kind of a hard emotional journey, but so cathartic and all the emotion so recognizable.
So good!! And I completely agree, very cathartic.
Great review of Tender, Alice!
Thank you :D
Summer’s a mess for blogging! And I actually consider summer to be a mess altogether: If I accomplish literally anything on evenings and weekends in the summer, instead of lying on the floor wailing about how hot it is, it counts as a success for me. (The heat index was 110 today please send help why did I choose to live so close to the equator)
Woah! You need a mini aircon you can carry around with you like an air fan. After that awful week in June the heat has been fine here, I’ll send you some of our cold.
