Howdy folks!

Yup, it’s that time of the week again, and this week I have a couple more revised chapters of Song For Guy for you!

The next chapter for Sandmen has been sent off for editing, but alas it wasn’t back in time. I will most likely hold it over for next weeks post, although if it does come back this afternoon I’ll add it for you.

I mentioned a few weeks back that I picked up a couple of boxes of books at a local book fair and I have to admit that in recent weeks I’ve made a start on them — quite probably at the detriment of my getting some writing done, but hey, even I need to kick back every once in a while and enjoy a good book!  😉

Amongst them were a few YA books that I thought looked interesting. The first one I read was So Hard To Say by Alex Sanchez, which I found to be quite an enjoyable read and one that I would recommend to anyone looking for something that wasn’t too heavy.

The next I read was Boy Toy by Barry Lyga, which I have to admit was heavy going in a few places (the subject of the story is a boy coming to terms with having been molested as a 12 year old by his female teacher), but still it is one that I thoroughly recommend. It was one of those rare books that stayed with me for a long while after I had finished reading it. It really was a memorable read.

Right now I’m reading The Smoke Jumper by Nicholas Evans (he wrote The Horse Whisperer and The Loop — one of my very favourite books!!!) and while it’s probably not quite as engaging as his other works, it is still a good read (so far!)

Anyhow, that’s about it from me for now. Until next week, happy reading!
