I have started a blog in which I will be posting my reviews - it's on http://www.magic-realism.net
New reviews are up:
The Tragedy of Fidel Castro by Joao Cerqueira
This Magnificent Desolation by Thomas O'Malley
Black Juice by Margo Lanagan
Tracks by Louise Erdrich

Tomorrow the review of Kate Atkinson's latest will join them
