Almost double my total for the year…
103 books! 39 more than I read. And I was happy to find time to read 64 books.
I read 3 of your 103 books. I have question. I assume you read an ARC of Shadow Prowler by Alexey Pehov because the book has not been published yet. Did you like it? It is worth reading? I’m really interested in.
Just curious about when you write reviews for what you read and when you don’t. I write reviews for everything, but I don’t read nearly as many books as you do.
edifanob – it was an ARC and my review should be out this week or early next, but I will say that the review will be mostly positive.
Tia – I review everything, but not everything is reviewed for online publication so there are not links for those.
John – thank you for reply. Looking forward to your review.
Tia and John – to be honest I don’t review every book I read. when I would do it I could read less. The decision which book I review is based on my guts feeling after reading a book. Beside this I write reviews when I promised them. I can’t write a review when I’m not in the right mood. Last year I read 64 books and reviewed 14 of them. In 2010 I want to review more. My goal is to read six books per month and review four of them.
