This week's books, unfairly (or sometimes fairly) neglected, or simply those the reviewers below think you might find of some interest (or, infrequently, you should be warned away from); certainly, most weeks we have a few not at all forgotten titles; we have a number of reviewed titles this week written by (or published by) fellow contributors to these lists, past and present. Founder Patti Abbott is on hiatus this week, and might be taking up the list again next Friday...if I've missed your review or someone else's, please let me know in comments...

Joan Samson, author of The Auctioneer |
Uncanny, but I also wrote about The Auctioneer. I just posted it. Will you please update the links with this one after my name: The Auctioneer by Joan Samson When you have time, of course.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pitching in these past weeks, Todd!
Just received the ARC of GO, LOVELY ROSE/THE EVIL WISH by Joan Potts, with an introduction you wrote.
ReplyDeleteVery proud of my involvement with Stark House on helping that reissue happen. I hear more Jean Potts reprints are on the way. I like that!
ReplyDeleteAs well you might be!
ReplyDeleteLink to Margot's review of Crider goes astray, I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteYep, fixed that one nt long after you saw it. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHi Todd – Thanks for including my review. And thanks for doing the FFB list again.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Todd!
ReplyDeleteThanks for another splendid list, Todd. And of course thanks for the links to my own notes.
ReplyDeleteThank you, folks.
