As an avid reader I often ignore reviews since they too frequently give away too much of the book. I will only write about what I have read and will recommend rather then review. I read a wide variety of books, primarily fiction. My favorites Science Fiction and Fantasy will be most frequent. The blog also tries to promote reading as the cornerstone of education.
