Hello again ;)

Slowly catching up! Being home sick (wrecked wrist) has some advantages... reading/listening time!

Finished listening to 'Foxglove Summer'...

... and can't help but wonder: are there bits missing in the audio version?

Not only does the recording stop before the end of the book (there has to be at least one chapter, likely more, missing) there are so many narrative strands flapping about untied-up.

I suppose I'll have to figure out how to get to the library and lend the book...

I've made two River of London fanmixes of late.

Major spoilers to Broken Homes alluded to, Minor spoilers for Foxgrove Summer. )

There are some great other fanmixes on 8tracks as well! If you search for rivers of london, it shows most of them :)

Since copies of the book are making their way out into the world (I got mine today!), here's a place for discussion and reactions. It's probably safe to assume that the comments will be full of spoilers.

So Ben Aaronovitch did an online thing talking about his books and reading the first chapter of Foxglove Summer today. Here's the whole conversation and reading:



Also, because I am enthusiastic, and the toddler took a long nap this afternoon, and I like having text, I made a transcript of the first chapter, which is behind the cut.

Chapter One of Foxglove Summer )

ETA: Aaronovitch has now put a correct version up on his blog, with a few extra paragraphs on the end as well. The accurate and longer version

So here's the official cover for Foxglove Summer! Also the blurb from Waterstones, and an awful lot of speculation and rambling from me. All behind a cut to avoid spoiling people.

Something I spotted on Twitter a while back: Aaronovitch posted a picture of his current outline notes for book five. You can find it here. Tantalising rather than informative, but fun all the same.
