A new milestone…300 book reviews!
I know, I know, I still have a backlog of over 300 more to do. But I remember when I was writing the first few almost 30 years ago (my first that I have a copy of, at least, was in 1998).
Over the years, I always plan to write one for every book I read, but I didn’t…hence the backlog. 🙂 I need to complete the backlog to update my other stats (read, reviewed, etc.).
- I show 39 up until 1999;
- From 2000-2007, I added only another 56, and then nothing for 2008-2010…or at least not that I have copies of, still;
- From 2011-2019, I only have some for 6 of those years, with 25 more up until 2018 before I added a whopping 53 in 2019;
- I added another 84 from 2020-2024; and,
- Then only 27 last year.
I’m at 18 already written for this year, of which 6 or 7 are read this year. Shh, I am secretly trying to do 200ish for the year although my official target is much less.
I’m now posting them on my website, Amazon, Indigo, Book Notification and GoodReads, as well as sharing them on social media for X/Twitter, Threads, BlueSky and Meta/FB.
I don’t get a lot of feedback, but I’m hoping to build some interest in book club links over the next five years. Maybe it will, maybe it won’t. But I’m going to write and post them even if nobody but me reads them.
Cheers to me! When I retire, I’m going to try to post a new BR every day until I’m all caught up. I just have to get to retirement. 🙂
