      2. I think I did a tour for Tracy one time but she didn’t supply as much supporting material as Anne Cater and Rachel Gilbey do for tours and didn’t even follow me on Twitter! However, perhaps I should give her a second chance as I do like a lot of the books Zaffre publish.

  2. I like the sound of Language of Food. I feel like I might have overdosed on Greek retellings recently so while I am intrigued by Elektra’s story, I think I’ll wait a while to see if I want to read it.
