Hello everyone, and Happy Sunday!
Who is ready for Doctor Who this week? I AM! Did you guys watch the mini-prequel episode featuring HOW THE WAR DOCTOR CAME TO BE? If not, you really, really should. The entire thing – The Night of the Doctor – is on Youtube. Go forth and have fun.
This Week on The Book Smugglers:
On Monday, Ana kicks- off the week with a ContempYA Round-Up of recent reads: Wise Young Fool and The Blonde of the Joke
Tuesday, Ana talks about Blackberry Blue, a collection of original fairytales by Jamila Gavin
Then, on Old School Wednesday, Thea reviews Marque and Reprisal by Elizabeth Moon (the second book in the Vatta’s War series, originally published in 2004). FOR REALS, THIS TIME, YO.
On Thursday, Thea reviews Half Lives by Sara Grant (this commences Thea’s end of year catch-up, in which she catches up on all the books she needs to read before 2013 ends).
And on Friday, Ana closes out the week with a review of God’s War by Kameron Hurley. Over at Kirkus, Thea reviews The Clockwork Scarab by Colleen Gleason.
And that is it from us! Until tomorrow, we remain…

Also, the cover art for “Blackberry Blue” is really eye-catching! Colour me intrigued!
