If you’ve
just visited the Awfully Big Blog Adventure, you’ll know that our Scattered
Authors Society blog has just begun its annual holiday.
However, Awfully
Big Reviews is sneaking away too, so that there will be time to read and eat and do
all sorts of nice things so everyone is bright & fully refreshed for the
first of January, and ready to bring you a mix of book suggestions during 2016.
Huge thanks to
all the wonderful ABR reviewers who between themselves make sure that a new
choice appears here every fourth day. I know
that writing a book review demands a good amount of time: first to read the
book well and thoughtfully and, secondly, to find the best words to describe what
the book is “about” and also what it is about this particular book that makes
it so appealing or interesting or clever or insightful or amusing or any or
many of the ways in which a book can speak to a reader.
So many,
many thanks to all the Awfully Big Review team:
Pippa Goodhart, Adele Geras, Pauline Francis,
Jackie Marchant, Julia Jones, Dawn Finch, Ann Turnbull, Lynda Waterhouse,
Damian Harvey, Tamsyn Murray, Gillian Phillip, Sue Purkiss, Saviour Pirotta,
Rhian Ivory, Tamsin Cook and Sarah Hammond.
Thank you all for your work, help, reliability and
patience. I’ll look forward to reading more of your suggestions and
recommendations in 2016.
Meanwhile,
it’s time to close the blog until that January arrives. I hope that
everyone, especially all the ABBA & ABR contributors and readers, has a
happy holiday and a fine New Year, and all manner of good times, lovely things
and wonderful books to enjoy in the year to come.
Warmest
wishes, Penny
Dolan
