Review: Nine Goblins, by T. Kingfisher
Book Description No one knows exactly how the Goblin War began, but folks will tell you that goblins are stinking, slinking, filthy, sheep-stealing, henhouse-raiding, obnoxious, rude, and violent. Goblins would actually agree with all this, and might throw in “cowardly” and “lazy” too for good measure. But goblins don't go around killing people for fun, no matter what the propaganda posters say.

In the tower that sustained the life she had once known.

sweets, a calendar, a box of homemade biscuits, and a slice of cake. I have drunk so much tea and coffee, my back teeth are floating and my Christmas day nibbles have arrived from Tesco. I'm settled in for Christmas. I'm not talking to anyone except the cat for three days.

I've had a busy day - visit mum and step-dad, saw both my sisters, a cousin and my cousin's kid, walked from one side of my home town to the other, saw my friend and her parents for an hour, then visited the older sister and her family for a couple of hours. I came home with a tub of swizzels

Well, that's my seasonal good deed done, and now I'm going to fuss the cat, watch a daft film and wait for my take away to arrive.
(Okay, the weekly take-away might also be contributing to the being poor - but I put money in my savings this month too.)

be accused of buying good reviews. There are some rotten buggers about scamming inexperienced writers and I don't like it.
Plus, they give people who review for fun or are paid by outlets for writing reviews a bad name.
If I had less scruples I'd have more money. And that's why I'm poor.

I've just had to email someone to tell them not to offer money to a reviewer for a review. It was a lot of money (by my standards) too. I told them to contact a blog tour organiser instead if they have money, made them aware of scams targeting and indie authors, and pointed out that they could
