Each week we publish a list of some of the books our critics will be reviewing during the week, and invite you to tell us what you're reading and reviewing on the site. Last week, many of you did just that.
HeleneM told us that she was reading Your Voice In My Head by Emma Forrest, dirtywhitecandy, although published a while ago was reading The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson, and SeaGrassLight 'ventured into the realm of GLBT romance and found a bevy of cowboys, cowgirls, contemporary couples and Victorian stages'. Some, instead of telling us, showed us what you were reading by uploading a snap to our Flickr group – look out for the snap of Cat's Table.
Sarah Crown highlighted a selection of her favourite reader reviews which last week included pinkroom on Dickens, samspokony on Barnes and DebbieN on Mantel. And, Sarah promises that if you see your review highlighted in the blog, contact her and she'll send you a book. Can't be bad.
On with this week, then. Here's our reviews list. It's not a complete list and it's subject to last minute changes, but we hope it gives you a good idea of the books that have caught our attention.
