reading ahead

One problem we might run into doing a blog about the books we're reading, is that very often the books we're reading aren't out yet. Publishers send out advance copies of books to booksellers so that we can read them ahead and be ready to recommend them when they hit the shelves. So I may be reading a really great book that comes out next Febuary. Oh wait, I just did. I've just read Jonathan Barnes' upcoming book, The Domino Men. It's a gritty fantasy. And while set in modern London, it has the feel of an earlier time. I also enjoyed his previous book, The Somnambulist which is coming out in paperback in January. This one actually is set in an earlier London. So when you ask us what's the last book we've read that we really liked, you may have to wait a while to read them for yourself.
