I’ve tried a few times before to start a regular book review post schedule. It never works. Now I have a new strategy: when I start reading a book, I enter it in LibraryThing, as tikitu-reviews (a separate account to to the one for books I own). When I finish it, if all goes according to plan, I post at least a couple of lines.

These are mostly new books I’ve bought, or borrowings from friends, but one of the nice things about this plan is that I have an excuse to go back and read old favourites, so that I can review them properly. So it’s supposed to be sort of a combination of a reading log and a recommendation list. For the desperately enthusiastic: you can check back every few weeks, or you can follow it by rss.

And finally: I got sidetracked during my third read-through in four months (literally; I bought it in Berlin in January) so I haven’t given Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell a review, but it’s going to be four and a half stars. Read it.
