Yep, as I acknowledged on the Supernatural underground on December 1<\/a> it’s that time of year again — you know, when we look back on the year-that-(almost)-was, reflect on what we did\/did not achieve, and make lists: best book, best movie, top experience… I could go on but I’m sure you all know the drill. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

\"Supelogo_2\"<\/a>So, on the Supernatural Underground I reflected on five highlights from my writing year. If you’re keen to know what they are, then just head on over by clicking on:<\/p>\n

5 Highlights Of My 2016<\/h3>\n

However, this is very much a books, reading, and genre blog as well as a “writer’s blog” so I aim to get into the seasonal spirit by reprising my “avid reader” guest post series from last year in the run up to Christmas and January 31.<\/p>\n

\"Paul<\/a>

Paul Weimer<\/p><\/div>\n

Two of last year’s three guests will be returning with their “Top 5 Reads” of 2016, starting with Paul Weimer<\/strong> on this Thursday, 8 December. If you want to read Paul’s Top 5 post from last year, click on:<\/p>\n

\"Karen<\/a>

Karen McMillan<\/p><\/div>\n

Karen McMillan<\/strong> will also be returning with her Top 5 books for this year — and her last year’s post is here:<\/p>\n

\"Rebecca<\/a>

Rebecca Fisher<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m sure regular readers all remember Rebecca Fisher<\/strong> of Big Worlds On Small Screens<\/a> fame. <\/strong>Although Rebecca has been taking a sabbatical from Big Worlds On Small Screens, she will return (huzza!) with a guest spot on her Top 5 viewing experiences for the year.<\/p>\n

All fun stuff and I will keep you posted with\u00a0 further fun alerts as events arise. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, be careful out there in the season, not only of lists but of end of year events.<\/p>\n

NB: The brief is that the featured books or shows have to have been read or viewed in 2016, not necessarily <\/em>created this year.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
