If you landed here from this Scotsman article, welcome. I do wish to reassure you that there is no competition here at Moorishgirl with other literary blogs (there’s plenty of room for everyone). Also, I’ve moved out of L.A. and now live in scenic Portland. Lastly, I think David Sexton meant to refer to this discussion at the end of the article, when he spoke of reviewing the past year in books.
