Surprises
I’d like to thank Nymeth for presenting me with an “I Love Your Blog” award it was a lovely surprise in my RSS feed this morning. 
It goes without saying that I’d award it straight back atcha! But I’m not sure it it allowed 
And, I’m pretty sure some of the following have already been given one of these from elsewhere – but I don’t care, you’re getting one again!
So, Clare at Blue Archipelago; Natasha at Maw Books Blog; Eva at A Striped Armchair; and last but not least, Katie at Kate’s Bookshelf. You can all collect your award! Katie is responsible for introducing me to both my favourite artist of the last 18 months (Missy Higgins) and my favourite books of the year (The Tomorrow Series by John Marsden) all three of whom hail from Australia, now some, might suggest if she is so good at it, I should hand over more of my entertainment choices to her, if she is so good at getting the selection right, that’s all well and good, they may well be right, that is apart from one tiny, minute, little issue. Some things just ain’t going to happen. **Shudders at the thought**
Another nice surprise, yesterday, came when I was sorting out the old TBR pile, and I discovered my stack of Marcus Sedgewick’s books I’ve been building up. I completely forgot about these when I was putting together my reading pool for [intlink id="926" type="post"]R.I.P III[/intlink] and yet they are perfect for it, Sedgewick is brilliant at creating a atmospheric books, with a great sense of brooding/spookiness about them. I’m reading Witch Hill at the moment, expect a review to follow!

You’re welcome, Bart
I love Clare, Natasha and Eva’s blogs too. Kate is new to me, so I must pay her a visit.
I look forward to hearing more about Witch Hill!

@Eva: You’re very welcome!

Bart! Thank you so much for mentioning me. The artist you have to look into now is Jason Mraz (who isn’t Australian, so you’re safe!).
Obviously, it’s past time I updated my site, now that I’ve been plugged by you. You’ve obviously become quite the blogger, which is awesome to see!
@Katie: You’re welcome
