Reviews

I've done a little bit of book reviewing in the past. Last year I was contacted by Graham at Literature Scotland and he asked me to review a couple of titles for him. It was good, I enjoyed it, but sadly haven't had the chance to do any more for him since.

My first review was of 'At the Loch of the Green Corrie' by Andrew Greig (Quercus, April 2010). My review can be found at the Osprey Journal's website, here.

My second review, also published in Osprey Journal as part of the Literature Scotland group, was of Kenneth Steven's short story collection, 'The Ice and Other Stories' (Argyll Publishing, April 2010). You can find my review of Steven's collection here.

I found that I quite enjoyed reviewing books. Even better because I was getting paid to write these, and I was being sent a free copy of the books. Now I'm not so lucky, but I want to carry on reviewing books I particularly enjoy. They might not be super-current ones, but you never know. I've read a lot recently that I want to share, so watch this space...!
