New UK paperbacks for January The start of 2011 seems to bring the prospect of masses of books being published. I am not sure if this is a relief or not, after the paucity of December, given the number I already plan to read. I think on balance it is reassuring. I wonder if 2011 will be the year that The Bookseller has monthly new ebook (all formats) announcements? For the time being, we in the UK can look forward to quite a few printed new paperbacks in January. Because the new design of The Bookseller does not allow as much space as previously for the preview features, when there are a lot of books they are not described in much detail. The predicted top-sellers, in particular, are mentioned very briefly: Caught by Harlan Coben, The Shadow of Your Smile by Mary Higgins Clark, Dark Blood by Stuart MacBride, The Killing Place by Tess Gerritsen and a few others including the obligatory JP.

Reading report, third quarter 2010 From the beginning of July to the end of September, I've read 46 books. If I hadn't been away on holiday for a couple of weeks in July, my total would have been lower than in the second quarter (42 books) - probably nearer to the 26 books I read in the first quarter of this year. My total from the start of January to the end of September is 114. Returning to my July to September batch, of the 46 I read, 24 are by men, 18 by women, 2 by man/woman pairs, 1 by a man/man pair, and 1 is a collection of short stories by men and women (but edited by a man). Seventeen are translations: 1 Polish, 1 Japanese, 3 Spanish (1 Argentinian, 1 Cuban, 1 Bolivian), 2 Norwegian, 1 French, 3 Italian, 1 Portuguese (Brazilian), 1 Afrikaans, 3 Swedish, and 1 Icelandic. So far as I can tell, 15 of the 46 are debuts. I shan't be reviewing a few of these books, but I have written up most of them (see end of this post). Which gets my award for best of the quarter? As usual, this is a very hard, if not impossible,...
