Quarto riepilogone annuale che bloggo!

Al solito, contiene un po' di tutto e probabilmente necessità correzioni / aggiornamenti:

ho iniziato ad appuntarmelo nei primi di novembre e continuato ad aggiornarlo col metodo Anna Oxa: senza pietà!

Nel complesso, anno mediatico davvero ricco, appassionante ma anche "faticoso" perché c'è tanto (troppo) di bello, ma setacciare nel web odierno è diventato davvero complicato, anche col papero

Looking for gift ideas? Here are some of Joe's favourite reading of the last twelve months: from Elif Shafak's achingly beautiful There Are Rivers in the Sky to Tiffany Murray's groovy memoir My Family and Other Rock Stars (perfect for any music lovers) to John Wiswell's Someone You Can Build a Nest in (queer, monster, cross species fantasy love with plenty of dark humour).

From Jon Scalzi's spy cats and volcano lairs of Starter Villain (a smile inducing delight), to alien biology & poltiical gulags with Adrian Tchaikovsky's Clay, world-changing, historic circumnavigation of the globe with Spice by Roger Crowley, &, of course, a dash of #poetry with fanulous Scots poet Len Pennie
