As I live in Australia, it would be more of a winter reading list!
I am a judge for the World Fantasy Awards this year, which means I have zero time to read anything other than the huge number of works under consideration for the awards, all of which must be read and assessed by the end of June. My house is full of books. Any fantasy work whose first English language publication was in 2016 is potentially eligible, and there are only five judges to do the job.
There have been some wonderful books which I'd love to recommend, but that will have to wait until the winners are decided and the awards handed out in November 2017. Once the reading for the awards is over, I will enjoy reading some novels in other genres. I was given Fiona Lowe's Daughter of Mine for Mother's Day, so that will probably my first post-awards reading. I'll also be reading up about life in twelfth century England, for research.

Hi Juliet, I hope you are well. Several months back I stumbled upon your series, Blackthorn & Grim, and it became one of my favourites. I am rest assured that by now, you're well aware of your gift for creating rich worlds and characters, but I still want to thank you for them. I've now read Heart's Blood, and Wildwood Dancing, and they're also remarkable. What are your favourite novels or series? Warmest wishes.

I have just joined this site I can't believe my favourite writer is on here! I love your books in fact I come from Asia and your Dark Mirror was the first western book I ever read, it was many years ago when I was little but I could still remember many details in it, the book was part of my childhood what a beautiful book it was. I was wondering will you ever come to UK? If so, when? Thank you!
