Charlotte Taylor has been a fan of fantasy all her life and spent her childhood rejecting her sisters’ importunings to come play in favor of peaceful reading. She still spends as much time as possible reading (mostly middle-grade speculative fiction, but other genres too, because she wants to read All the Things), but she is hampered by her day job as a professional archaeologist. Her thoughts on books, and a round-up every Sunday of Middle Grade fantasy and science fiction reviews and news from around the blogs, can be found at Charlotte’s Library, and @charlotteslib on twitter
