Backlist Backburn is an end of month event organised by Lisa at Tenacious Reader. If you’ve caught up on any of your backlist then call over and link up.   I find this a good incentive to dust off some of my books!  This month I read Traitor’s Blade by Sebastien de Castell – which, by the way, was bloody good!
