52 Novels

I counted them myself.

52 in 52, 2008  

I decided to do something a little different this year. I’ve been swamped with a lot of other things and getting to the reviews for each book has been a bit of a stretch.

The fact is, I’ve been writing more… writing more on my current WIP, writing more at work, and writing more at the 52 Novels sister site. While I enjoy writing the reviews, getting one done for each book sometimes gets a little much.

This year, instead, I’ll write something up only if it blew me away, or if I otherwise have to get my thoughts out about something. You’ll find those linked from the 52 Novels Stash page, as well as a write up in the form of a regular blog post.

Check out the 52 46 novels from 2007, and the ones from 2006.
