cedar_groveI was looking today at my little blue book - the one in which I keep Cedar's reading list, all of those books that we have and have yet to read, and all those which we've read with the date we finished reading them. I thought we were slipping.
Between September 1st 2005 and August 31st 2006 we read 20 books and abandoned one - it was dire. I thought it was half of that over the same time period from 2006 to 2007... that is until I realised that there were many books that hadn't been written into the little blue book, because the blue book had been elsewhere at the time. In the end it turns out that between September 1st 2006 and August 31st 2007 we have read 17 books (so long as I didnt forget any) and abandoned 2 dreadful ones, so it turns out to be not so dreadful after all.
Over the next couple of days we're going to try and catch up with giving brief reviews of the ones that haven't been given the reveiw treatment we usually do - they'll be a little bit different because we haven't got the 'key quote' in them. That's where, as we're reading the book, we make not of a quote that sums up the book or the tone of the book for us, but in every other way, they're given the same treatment. So, onward we go...
