Delighted Reader

My associate reviewer, Josh, will soon be leaving the blog to pursue his teaching career; his last post will be on February 26th, which means… I’m in need of a new associate reviewer! His shoes will be hard to fill but I wish him the best of luck in his new job, and future endeavors. Thanks for all of your hard work Josh!

• Opportunities to network with your favourite authors and a platform on which you can express your bookish views;
