Christmas Hiatus

I wish everyone a happy Christmas, Mithrastide, HumanLight day, Hanukkah, or whatever festival you will be celebrating :) I hadn't planned to break from blogging this early for the holidays, but my laptop officially died last week, and thus far, I haven't been able to resurrect it.

I know, since September onwards, I haven't been blogging nearly as much as I was before, and I expect most of you know the reasons for that. Nevertheless, a new year, a new start, and I'll be getting back into the swing of things, and reviewing and interviewing and contest-hosting, which I think will be fun :)

Thanks to everyone who's commented and sent messages of support, and for everyone who still reads this blog.

A huge thanks to the authors this year who have let me fire questions at them:

Richard Morgan
Marie Brennan
Karen Miller
Robert V.S Redick

I had planned to interview more authors this year, and huge apologies to Melissa Snodgrass who I left rather in the lurch. There's always next year :)

To the wonderful publishers I regularly receive from, and pester:

Orbit Books (who get an extra special thanks, as they've been lovely from the very beginning of this blog; in particular, the lovely Sam and Darren)
Tor Books
Gollancz Books
Night Shade Books
Transworld Books

I have books from all these, and ones I don't regularly receive from, that I haven't gotten around to reading, let alone reviewing, this year, and for that I apologise. They all have some marvellous books coming out next year, and, when I'm finished with my backlog, I'll be getting more up-to date!

Thanks, and Merry Christmas!
