In other news, it's nearly ten, I'm still in my pyjamas, and I have already answered the door to about five people while looking like an idle slattern because it's the time of the month when the couriers deliver my review books.

Taylor is one of those authors whose books I've always noticed in shops but have never found enticing enough to read; on the basis on the one I've read so far (Angel) I was totally wrong. Angel is the story of a really terrible but successful novelist who believes that she's a genius, and is an awful warning to writers everywhere....
