AustCrime Update: October / November 2025
In the last newsletter I mentioned that predictability is overrated. I think this time around I should note that MtTBR induced panic is, on the other hand, misunderstood, and underestimated. I have a ridiculously bad case of it. Doesn't seem to matter HOW many books I get through in a month, there are always more - just sitting there with there looking all tempting and fascinating, and I don't know how I'm supposed to keep up. It's probably not normal but I do fantasise about breaking a leg.. at least then I could claim infirmity and stay in one place, surrounded by books, coffee, dogs, cats and the occasional gin. Nobody else around here would be thrilled but I'd be beyond relieved.

AustCrime Update: September 2025
Predictability is overrated. Which is another way of saying this newsletter should have come out in early September and it didn't.
But on the upside a lot of reading and reviewing has been getting done so maybe less posting, more reading might be the trick I've been searching for.
Anyway in the review lists:

RELEASE DATE: 19/6/2025 I've added this one to this update because, to my chagrin, I missed it completely at the time it was released.
