I’m glad you guys enjoyed my review, I hope your listeners did too.
I personally think everyone should buy an iPad. I’d love one, but we’re still waiting to see what the UK price tag is over here — Apple’s offerings are usually more expensive in the UK.
I think submitting writing-relating questions is a good idea — I may well come up with something soon. As for readings — how about reading some flash fiction? It’s quick, and everyone’s doing it these days.
You made my day with the news of Connie Willis’ new book. Been waiting and waiting. Though it won’t be out in Oz for another month so I’ll have to wait just a bit more.
