I didn't notice at the time, but on Tuesday we were exactly 2/3 of the way through the year - today we're more than two thirds of the way through the year!

Also, a grump. I picked up The Last Confession of Thomas Hawkins in Waterstones a few days ago, started it yesterday, and was thoroughly enjoying it. It read a bit like a sequel to something, but there was no indication on the book that it was, so I figured that was just the way the author was doing it, and carried on. And then I went to add it to Goodreads this morning, and Thomas Hawkins 2 it says. Gaaaaargh! And it is indeed a sequel to The Devil in the Marshalsea, which I've picked up and thought about a few times, but not bought. So I clearly am missing out on alot of backstory, and it does matter cos that was how it felt before I knew it was a sequel, and what is it with this fashion for not indicating in a book that it's a sequel to something? It's not the first time this has happened to me either - Between the Lines/Off the Page turned out to be sequels, after I'd bought the second and started reading it. No indication on the book itself, and only cos I looked it up online when I felt I was missing something. Presumably publishers are trying to drag readers in the hard way, but if this carries on it's going to have the opposite effect... and I shall name and shame!
