Loose-leaf Links #69
Loose-leaf Links is a feature where I gather together the interesting bits and pieces on sci-fi, fantasy and romance I’ve come across and share them with you over tea.

Conflux 14 Report
Conflux 14, Canberra’s speculative fiction convention, took place last weekend. Ordinarily, this would be the part where I report in about the amazing people and interesting panels I saw. Unfortunately, I was quite unwell and had to cancel my attendance. I consoled myself with a copy of Joanna Russ’s How to Suppress Women’s Writing and […]
Mt TBR Report: September 2018
September went a long way towards getting my Mt TBR back under control. I knocked out some shorter bits and pieces in the first half of the month. I was ill for much of the second half and reading proved to be a good distraction. Mt TBR Status Mt TBR @ 1 January 2018: 351 […]
