Reeling and Writhing is updated sporadically by Genevieve Tucker, a library school graduate and fulltime carer who has written book reviews for various publications since her work here was first noticed by a newspaper editor in 2006.
She took a holiday at Tumblr recently, and has now decided to pass her blogging days quietly back here, where she first found kind readers.
