More About Books in General

tags: ,

Thanks to you, I read a LOT of books (and watch a few DVDs as well), but end up reviewing approximately one in four (or is it one in five?) of all books I read (and rarely review any DVDs that I watch). This doesn't seem right, even though I have had the great pleasure to read so many wonderful books, both gifts from my readers and review copies provided by publishers. Unfortunately, if I reviewed every good book that I've read this past few years, I would not write anything on my blog except book reviews. So to address that sad situation, I have decided to add a category waaaay down on my left sidebar, that lists the books I am reading at this time, along with links to amazon, so you can either read more about the book there, or purchase a copy for yourself.

Adding this sidebar category does not mean I will stop writing book reviews for you, nor will I write fewer book reviews, but instead, it means that you can see when I am reading a book that you've purchased as a gift for me (many many thanks!), and you can also see which review copies I am reading before I review them -- nearly all of which are worthy of your attention, even when I am not able to provide you with a thoughtful analysis that both you and the book deserve.

If you see a book in my "currently reading list" that you specifically WANT me to review, please feel free to email me your request and I'll do my best to honor it. Keep in mind that I generally review books that are one year old or less so my reviews are timely, but I do make occasionally exceptions to that rule.
