A blog dedicated to my opinion on books

Happy Anniversary!

Eleven years ago, I decided to start this blog of my book reviews! I know I didn’t set the book reviewing blogosphere on fire but that’s okay. I’ve just enjoyed sharing my thoughts on the books I’ve read.

And I hope you’ve enjoyed reading them.

For fun, I’ve decided to put together some statistics to see how the past 11 years have gone for me.

Let’s take a look!
