But the thing about Lanagan is she is significant and important and pushing boundaries in how stories are told. I will read Tender Morsels but I don't know if I will like it—what might ...

Reviewing The Mail: Week of 3/21
antickmusings.blogspot.com 3/24/2009 — Last week I was rambling about the ebb and flow of review copies, and this week helps to prove my point: it's almost entirely comics/manga, led by the big monthly box from Yen Press. As usual, I post these lists on Monday mornings because I know I ...

Reviewing The Reviewing, by James Lovegrove
