I only managed 17 books for the year, not even one-and-a-half per month!
ReplyDeleteI'm very impressed by your volume, and always appreciate your reviews (even if I never manage to read most of them myself...)
Happy New Year!
Thanks, Aaron! I don't know if it would help to know this, but 17 per year is apparently the national average, according to a study cited on Reactor.

I'm happy to know you like my reviews. For most books, a publisher's blurb is all I'm ever going to see. I love when a well-written review convinces me to pick something up, or shows me why I'd be happier passing it by.
