Two Days, Five Reviews

Ouch. I have five books in front of me for review in this month's SFRevu.com, not including INSIDE STRAIGHT (which you've already seen "previewed" here). I'm reviewing:

• Simon R. Green's Unnatural Inquirer (a Nightside novel);
• Dennis McKiernan's Once Upon a Dreadful Time (a couple months late);
• Martin Greenberg and Kerrie Hughes' Fellowship Fantastic;
• Chris Golden's The Borderkind (several months late); and
• D.M. Cornish's Foundling: Monster Blood Tattoo #1 (only a few months late but I only got it in November).

It's a lot of work to do but... that's the life of a reviewer.

What am I reading now? And can I stop reading yet?

Well, finished reading/reviewing FATAL REVENANT by Stephen R. Donaldson and read THE UNNATURAL INQUIRER by Simon R. Green (lots of "R" middle names in what I'm seeing, huh?), which isn't due until January. And read BLOODLINE by F. Paul Wilson for review (have to write that one soon, even though Paul doesn't have an "R" initial).

For some reason, September was a very heavy review month for me. I was signed up for about seven or eight books and thought about taking on one or two more just 'cause (like Tony diTerlizzi and Holly Black's new Spiderwick book). Upshot: no writing time for Drew lately. Not for my own stuff, anyway.

That's why I'm basically passing on new things for November's SFRevu. Probably in December or January I'll pick up again but for right now...
