The Bookfoxes are baring their teeth, Werefox style this week, and wishing you all a Happy Halloween. True, we don’t have anything particularly spooky on the cards but we do have gloomy and godly, plus a timely article from RosyB, so if you have a spare moment between bobbing apples and trick-or-treating, check us out and do feel free to leave a comment.
Monday: Hilary finds F M Mayor’s 1924 novel The Rector’s Daughter gloomy, but exquisitely gloomy.
Wednesday: It’s two for the price of one as Moira’s both quoting scripture for her own purposes and everso slightly losing the plot in her combined review of Bible: The Story of the King James Version 1611-2011 by Gordon Campbell and The Bible Now by Friedman and Dolansky.
Thursday: Anne gets seriously stuck into a magical, sensuous and sacramental read in Evelio Rosero’s Good Offices.
Friday: RosyB considers the fashion to make books like doorstoppers and wonders whether the rise of the ebook will finally knock the book-as-brick trend on the head.
Saturday: Eve is back with another young adult title.
