This blog is one year old, as I created my second entry (both of them) on 14th February 2004. Since then, I have posted 81 times, which is more than I would have expected, and acquired two readers I've never met. Thanks everyone for reading, but special thanks to huskyteer and ffutures for the ego-boost! Honourable mention goes to vilebody, whom I have met but only briefly.

I haven't been opinionated much this year yet, but if all goes according to plan I'll let you know what I think of Philip Pullman's Sally Lockhart books - tales of Victorian villainy - in the not-too-distant future. I've read two-and-a-half of them over the last week, and the fourth awaits.
