My first foray into writing a blog was my Book Challenge. Every book I read, I try to write a review. This is what I will be doing, and keeping a list of them all here, with some sub pages for books that go together.
I started this in August 2011 and it is basically a way for me to keep a track of all of the books that I have read so far. They are arranged by title, including ‘A’, but excluding ‘The’.
