Another smashing review for Theory Unproven
Head on over to MM Good Book Reviews where you'll find another 5 star review for Theory Unproven.
The passion between Eric and Tyaan is both sweet and explosive.
...the first half of the book is rather light hearted and relaxed before really going into the action.
There is a lot of sweetness to be had set in an amazing landscape with some pretty damn intelligent animals. In fact, a couple of the elephants are minor characters in their own right and thoroughly enjoyable.

Next stop I'm taking you to on the Theory Unproven tour is RJ Scott's blog where I talk about South African food.
For anyone wondering what bunnychow is I went back for some of the tasty South African street food just so that I could get you this photo.
Bunny chow - Mutton Curry
Mmmmm.

And we have a release date
Working with elephants in their natural habitat has always been Eric Phillips dream. Getting what he’s always desired introduces him to Tyaan Bouwer, the bush pilot that flies in his supplies, and Eric discovers the allure of South Africa goes beyond the wildlife and the scenery.
But in an area where bushveld prejudices and hatred bleed across the borders, realising their love will be a hard fought battle. Keeping hold of it might just kill them.
Theory Unproven will be available to buy from 20...

December's favourite reads
Yes, I know it's February and I'm posting favourite reads from December. My bad, but I've had a lot on.
December’s reads were made up of Festive Holiday reads, nothing more, nothing less.
Books read: 30
5 star reads: 6
4 star reads: 10
DNFs: 2 (and another where I skimmed from 51% and should have DNF'd)
One of my notes for a book that didn't make it into any of the catagories on this list read:
Two strangers in a strange land meet on a beach at Christmas. They fuck. The End.
5 stars
Angel in a B...

My reading plan for the coming year
As many of you are aware the addition of VAT to the cost of ebooks bought from an international site from 1st January this year has hiked the cost of a book by 20% for readers in the UK. RJ Scott has written some interesting posts on the matter. Personally I'm peeved that if I buy a Treed read from a local bookstore or supermarket I don't get charged VAT but if I get an ebook version--using paper, cluttering up my home, and eventually creating rubbish (although all finished with books in my h...

More than just an elephant story
For the longest time Theory Unproven has simply been known as 'the elephant story'.
Well, no longer. We have a blurb, people. It's official and contains slightly more information than the words uttered above.

An unexpected job offer finds zoologist Eric Phillips transported from the elephant house at a zoo just outside London to the wildlife reserves in the South African bushveld. Being able to work with his own herd of elephants, and analysing their behaviour, more than ma...
