Back in the game!

[djonn]

Thanks to a spectacular accident of timing, I ran across a brand new book this past week with a pitch that leapt off the screen and said "Read me!"

This happened to coincide with a sufficiently clear bit of spare time that I woke up a long-dormant Web account, secured an electronic copy, devoured the book - and have just now posted a proper review.

The book is The Adventures of Mary Darling by Pat Murphy, and the review is here at my personal Webspace and here at Goodreads. (It is a decidedly mixed review; I had been worried about the book turning out to be genuinely awful based on aspects of the initial trade reviews, but my fears were only partially justified.)
