Category Archives: Book-a-month

This is where I’m going to record information about the books I’m reading in my book-a-month project (that link should tell you all about it). For the blog-postings about it, where I may well write something about the books I’m reading, check out the book-a-month category. On this page you can see the list of books I’ve been reading… it’s a work-in-progress, as I need to try and remember what I’ve read in the past two years, and when I read it. The text associated with the books is the “back-cover blurb”, at least for some of them – I’m working on adding it for all of the books, but currently it’s just me writing drivel. Links in the book-names will be to blog posts about the book in question, when I get around to writing something.

The list is ordered by month, with the most recent at the… top! Why not, eh?
