Monthly Round-up: July 2017
With just one month to go in the 20 Books of Summer 2017 challenge, I need to pick up the pace with my reviews. I’m running a bit off schedule, but I don’t feel too bad about it. I’ve been making huge strides in…

Incoming: Five-Star Review
No book on this site has gotten a five-star review. My inconsistent blogging has covered 69 books* and some have been close, but none have gotten 5/5. This is a natural consequence of parsing scores to tenths of points. I have given three 4.9s…
