The majority of the books reviewed here come from arcs. I have to point this out because I recommended Nocturnes by Ishiguro the other day much the same way I've recommended, Casebook of Victor Frankenstein by Ackroyd, Sum by Eagleman, the aforementioned Nocturnes, Dracula returns by Dacre Stoker, Anthologist by Baker etc.
Someone who was in the store that day and reads my blog (!) sent me an anonymous comment saying that I shouldn't have recommended it because they had searched my blog and couldn't find a review for it. First of all thanks for reading, second I don't review books that will basically sell themselves or another member of staff has taken the time to review or that we bought for their literary merit. Just for the record one of my favourite books Soldier of the Great War by Helprin isn't reviewed here.
The whole idea behind this blog is to introduce you to new books/authors some are part of established series which means a little back tracking. If I recommend a book in the store it means I've read it. Another reason why independent book stores rock.
