Dear Christine
I would urge that book reviews remain on list, not just on someone's blog.. Even
though I am in
Australia, I cast a quick eye over each review to see if it would be suitable and
worth
investigating its availability here. When I was in a school, my Amazon account got
a work out but
my students read more widely than the local bookshop could offer.
Even if I remembered to go to your blog, it is not as convenient as having the
review land in front
of me, written by someone I 'know' and being able to discard or follow it through
in a glance.
Frederick and Toni, particularly, I thank you. I just don't know how you read so
much!
As well, given that literature appreciation is one of the three pillars of this
job, I could never
see book reviews as "cluttering up the list". They are essential professional
learning.
