March 31, 2007 - Saturday 

March was a pretty busy month with quite a few posts, including 5 new reviews and a number of posts.

Reviews included Sagramanda by Alan Dean Foster, which is a good but not great sci-fi thriller set in India. I also reviewed the audio version of The Sagan Diary by John Scalzi. Next up was The Dragon and the Unicorn by A.A. Attanasio, which I didn't like at all (my lowest scoring review to date). Bone Song by John Meaney is only out in the UK at the moment, but is a great book - think Dirty Harry set in a city dreamed up by the bastard love-child of Jeff VanderMeer and China Mieville - good stuff. I finished up with Bangkok Tattoo by John Burdett - Thai noir - excellent book.

In other happenings, Neth Space had it's 10,000th visitor in early March. Maybe not huge milestone, but one I was happy to reach none-the-less.

The buzz surrounding Patrick Rothfuss and The Name of the Wind keeps growning (and I kept right in thick of it all) - I posted an interview with him at FantasyBookSpot.

And finally I added another installment to my 'Tale of Two Covers' discussion series on cover art where I talk about the US and UK versions of Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson (I don't really like either, but one is a little better). And a plea to publishers and bulk book buyers to stop relying so much on cover art.
