Heads Up On Book Reviews

Category: BooksChrisM @ 2:04 pm

Having recently put my allconsuming list of books back up (see the Extras page for a list of the most recent), a friend reminded me I’d promised to start reviewing the books a long time ago.
So, if you don’t read books, feel free to skip the reviews – there will be no commercial content in them, no Amazon or affiliate links, just a quick post on what I thought of the book itself.
Many thanks to Oleg for lending all the books to me – I’d have ended up spending way too much time on the PC otherwise, this past year.

    How often will you be posting book reviews? I might have to add you to my blogroll =P

    Heh, and what’s wrong with Amazon links in the reviews? XD It saves me time having to hunt down an image, scale it to the proper dimensions and upload the image. If it’s not broken don’t fix it I say.

    The book reviews will vary in their frequency, perhaps not each and every day, but probably 5-15 a week.
    I’m not putting in any Amazon links, for now at least, as I don’t want any PPP advertisers to view my non-PPP posts as commercial, and risk opp rejection.
    Also, my reviews will be pretty basic, just giving the bare essentials. Mainly because reviewing books is a new avenue for me to trundle down.

    Having said that, if anyone reads them, and wants more in-depth information, I’ll be more than happy to elaborate.

    Fair warning then, I’ll probably bombard you with a ton of questions in each of the reviews. ^_^

    Feel free, the books I’ll be looking at are all I’ve read in the last year, so hopefully I should be able to remember them still ;>
    The 5-15 a week will severely drop off once I’ve reviewed the books that I’ve read since moving to Kazakhstan last April. It’ll be in real time then…
    Nice site btw.
