Looking forward to 2012 - books for the year ahead.

The Telegraph previews the literary year ahead this week, and after a busy December and Christmas I am returning to blogging action.  I'm looking forward to The Chemistry of Tears by Peter Carey but no doubt there will be much other good reading in the year ahead.  The Independent offers a different take on things to come, although Carey features in both.

Finally, a trailer for one of the best tipped first novels of the year, The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey.  Another one not to be missed....
