your reviews are pretty substantial, and i think your taste coincides with mine, more or less, so i thoroughly enjoyed reading your articles and the comments that they attracted.
would you consider creating a link or page that groups all your highly rated books/novels in a sort of recommended list? that way when i go to the library or bookstore, the chances of getting a book worth reading increases significantly
Just stumbled on your site. I like your reviews, and keep up the good work. I was searching for reviews of Burnt Shadows.
I don’t have to look any further.
Thanks for the review. I have my own blog.
I am from the US.
