Do feel free to pop in and leave a comment, and I'd like to say a VERY big thank you to the lovely Megan at Reading Away the Days for arranging the blog tour, and to all tour hosts and participants. It's very much appreciated.
Keeping to the subject of giveaways, though of a more adult nature in this case, you have until tomorrow (23 September) to enter the giveaway at Hearts On Fire Reviews. Good luck to all entrants there!
Other items of book news this week include:
My Sunday Haiku collection made it to No 8 in the Amazon UK Haiku charts, well gosh.
And gay BDSM story Give and Take gained a lovely review at KazzaK Book Reviews and Therapy (many thanks, Karen).
Meanwhile, over at Vulpes Libris, I revisited that long hot UK summer of 1976 with a review of Judith Allnatt's A Mile of River. A book that was flawed, in my opinion, but with heartening moments of genius. If she could hang on to the genius moments, I'd certainly be interested in reading more.
For the rest of this week, I've been falling asleep in front of the TV more times than I care to remember - though in my defence, I've apparently been working up to the bad cold I currently have (groan) - and which I'm desperately trying to kick into touch before I need to go in to the University tomorrow to help with Move In Weekend. Plus it's Freshers' Week next week and I really do need to be in for that!
Speaking of work, I've managed to take on more hours, which will be great for the household budget, so I'll be working 3.5 days (or 4 shorter days depending on work schedules) from the start of October, rather than the standard 3 days. Many thanks to the boss for letting me do that.
Oh, and I've really enjoyed the latest episode on TV of the documentary Vikings. At last - I've found my people ... I always knew we'd only come across for the shopping and social life. All that pillage stuff is just bad PR, hey ho.

I'm all behind in my reading list, I'm all behind in my downloads, I'm all behind in my catch ups, I'm all behind in my paperbacks, I'm in behind in errr pretty much everything really.
I fell asleep on my keyboard the other night, somehow when I woke up the letter K was stuck to my cheek!
Oh well, that cake looks blooming amazing, really it does. I'm so envious of your talents, I'm tempted to come up to the wilds of Surrey to steal some of it!!!!
Nothing nicer than having the letter "K" stuck to your cheek!! (Oh, you actually mean your face, don't you ...)
:))
Faxing you cake even now, my dear!!...
