Announcing the Serene Slumber Party

I’m currently trying to produce a complete draft of my thesis for the PhD I’ve been working on since… I dunno anymore – the dawn of time. This is a terrifying enterprise from which I can be very easily persuaded to run away, and reviewing science fiction and fantasy things over here is one of the more time consuming ways I have of procrastinating. I have therefore invited some exciting guests over to Womblevonia to hang out and blog in my place for the next few weeks so that I’m not tempted, and you guys still have exciting geek and speculative fiction related things to read.

This post will slowly become an exciting index for the posts of my Slumber Party guests. Stay tuned for the first guest post, by Jessica Meats, which will be up and at them later today.

Read Along with Rhube: Index

You know what I’ve realised whilst doing this ol’ Read Along with Rhube thing? George R R Martin doesn’t do chapter numbers. Upon reflection, it seems likely that I was vaguely aware of this before, but I hadn’t attended to it, and you know what? It’s confusing! Which chapter am I on now? Have I read enough to review yet? Which Tyrion chapter is this?

Anyway, I figure that if it’s confusing for me, it’s probably confusing for other people as well, and it might well be useful to provide some kind of index thing to help people find their way around my reviews. So! I’ll be updating this page with links to each of my posts as they go out, giving a RAWR number, the chapter numbers, and the POV character. That way you just have to bookmark this page and refer back to it when you want to find a specific review, or see if I’ve updated.
