Year One Book Reviews

As promised, the first year of book reviews is posted below! From now on there will be a link in the left-hand column. Thanks so much, Ber, for asking whether sketches would be treated with a similar post - I hadn't thought of it, but will get onto it soon...

Speaking of sketches, thought I'd give away a very little birthday present - I'll pop the 'Book Reviews Made Easy' sketch in the post to someone, as a souvenir. If you'd like it, just comment in the comments - shall we say a couple of days to enter? It's only, as Elaine at Random Jottings would say, a Bijou Prizerette.

Have just made a coconut cake, which can be considered a birthday cake...

  1. Coconut cake, Mmmmmmmmm... Enjoy!
    Many happy returns on Your Day and congrats on your first year - so glad your site is here (for our enjoyment).

    Bijou Prizerette? Oooo... Another drawing? Put my name in, please. Thanks.

  2. Here's my name for the Bijou Prizerette too ... and what an impressive (and neat - in all senses) Year One review list. (Also love the Jane Austen option on the sketch ... ).

  6. Can't tell you how often I've visited and enjoyed your reviews and views!

    I'm still looking for a good contemporary novel to teach my British Lit students. It's a three-year project and will get more serious about it during the summer.

    Love the list you made and I'll be back to peruse it, for sure.

    A couple weeks ago I started a reading blog and am having fun designing it and figuring out exactly what I want it to be. So far it's pretty basic.

  8. Very many happy returns! Please include my name, too, I love the sketch. Having a book token in hand, I'm about to peruse the Year One list for something to spend it on.
