I’ve just discovered Goodreads, the website much beloved by fellow book-nerds everywhere. It’s bloody fantastic, and I’ve even added myself to the website as an author (chiefly for Gravesend, but it has also linked to a bunch of anthologies that my stories have been in, that sort of thing). A very cool way of keeping track of the To-Be-Read pile, show your reading progress, and post brief reviews and ratings of books that you’ve read. I’m an instant convert! While I signed up for this as an author-promotional tool, I got a feeling I will be posting and reviewing and rating books just as much as anyone else. The reviewing mechanism seems to be a lot more reliable and honest than the classic “1 or 5” scoring system on Amazon.

Why yes, I have been living under a rock 🙂 Feel free to add me or what-have-you.
