A quick look at what's to come...
In my previous post, I mentioned that the majority of my first reviews would consist of books that I currently own and have put off reading until now. To say that I've built up a bit of a backlog would be putting it mildly.
So, for the overly curious, I present the various books you can expect to be reviewed in the near future (though not necessarily in this exact order).

You are most welcome to purge my own collection of tomes and paperbacks of the thick blanket of dust that has accumulated on our living room bookcase inhabitants for your reviewing. ;) <3 Mum
Oooh this is an interesting list! A few books stand out to me, and I look forward to reading your thoughts on them.
I just used the book The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime in one of my English classes (I am a teacher). It's a book that a lot of the kids enjoyed reading. I hope you enjoy it too!
I really enjoyed reading The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak. I look forward to hearing how Bridge of Clay compares.
I've heard good things about Half-Blood Blues, and it's also something on my reading list. I'm excited to read about a new point of view on it.
Although I'm sure the reviews of all of these…
