Really superb book.
I'm reading his The Prehistory Of The Mind at the moment.

Stephen, about prehistoric psychology?

I reviewed Alan Lloyd's Hundred Years War:
Review: The Hundred Years War, by Alan Lloyd

It's a good intro/overview of the conflict. I put some extra reading recommendations in at the end.

Terrific first session.
Loads of fun!

That does look fun!

Here's one from me: on writing and non-writing.
The Importance Of Non-Writing

Stephen, about prehistoric psychology?

Kind of.
It's a theoretical framework for the evolution of the mind.
An outstanding read.
My review here.

A review of Ngugi wa Thiong'o A Grain of Wheat. Not exactly sci-fi or fantasy but I think several of you here have wide reading tastes.

A quick thread hijack to ask if any of our blogging community would be interested in either reviewing or interviewing us (or anything else!) for our upcoming DISTAFF anthology launch (August 15th).

For those who don't know what this is: a group of Chrons members have been working on putting together a sci fi anthology of stories by women writers. You can find out more about Distaff and see the full list of authors on our website, DISTAFFanthology.wordpress.com. (Or have a peek at the thread in the Writing Group forum.)

A big thanks to @The Big Peat, @SilentRoamer and @Parson who have already offered.

Then there's that Distaff Anthology everyone's talking about: Distaff A Science Fiction Anthology by Female Writers - The Cover. | Shellie Horst

"A" is for Auroch. And for Absurd. An AI-generated children's primer about cattle. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up. I've got to give a hand to GEBen for its take on the letter "G", though.

Two things - it's that time of year when lambs are born, so I wrote about that in Back To Black, complete with gratuitously cute lamb photos, and almost at the same time (because it's been just one of those months) I posted an entry to #BlogBattle on the prompt "Corona" - Memories Going Pop.

Wow, things are a little slow in here. Is everyone already on summer holiday? Anyway, here's a review of Naomi Novik' Uprooted.

 

[thaddeus6th]

I haven't blogged much for a while, to be honest.

 

[CTRandall]

A lot of the usual suspects seem AWOL at the moment.

 

[Juliana]

I haven't blogged in forever! Need to put some time into it...

 

[thaddeus6th]

A blog. Gosh.

I reviewed Flight from the Dark, the first Lone Wolf gamebook: Review: Flight From The Dark (Lone Wolf book 1), by Joe Dever and Gary Chalk
